About Scott West
In what appears to be some kind of strange human psychology experiment, Scott was raised on a steady diet of Star Trek reruns, Muppets, giant monster movies, martial arts flicks, and comic books for the better part of his childhood. By the time he was in 2nd grade, he told his parents that he wanted to be Mr. Spock when he grew up. After later realizing that he couldn’t exert the necessary Vulcan-like control over his emotions whenever Spider-Man went up against his latest villain, Scott abandoned the Spock idea and went with his backup plan of going into writing. Scott began by writing science fiction short stories before turning to the news side of things. He’s written news and reviews on comics, books, movies, TV, and video games ever since. As a side effect of the Muppets in his upbringing, Scott can often be found telling lame jokes followed by a hearty “wocka wocka!”
