Comics!

No, not the kind who do stand up. ChosenOne thinks he's nerdy for mentioning video games?! pfft. Comics are much nerdier, and oh so awesome.

I've seen at least two other people here who like comics, I'm curious to see how many more there might be (I hope there are more at least!)

some of my favorites:

Series

Uncanny X-men
Astonishing X-men
She-hulk (new school, the writer before last)
The Runaways
The Walking Dead
The darker, more gritty Batman titles
The Sandman
Invincible

Graphic novels

300
Sin City
The Dark Knight Returns
I can't remember the name, but the Batman with the crazy awesome artwork and storyline involving the Joker holding Arkham hostage. So sweet.
V for Vendetta
Marvel 1602
Squee
Johnny the Homicidal Maniac
Hell, anything by Jhonen Vasquez is comedy gold

..I have probably forgotten a ton. I loves me some comics! There've been a few story arcs I've enjoyed from other titles (a couple Spider-man stuffs, the marvel civil war books, etc) but those are just the ones I thought of first.

Yep, I'm getting my nerd on this morning.

 

I read Archie's Comics when I was a kid, but that was about it. I'm more interested in books, non-fiction to be exact

They make non-fiction comics as well.

I read a lot of regular books, though I tend to gravitate more towards the fantastic, like mythological stories, a little bit of regular fantasy novels, or a good, suspenseful page-turner. Though I read my share of non-fiction as well. I've got this great book about Sigmund Freud and his most famous case studies. Interesting stuff!

But comics is still my shit. :smt060

 

The Sandman (especially Seasons of Mist wherein Lucifer morningstar is introduced) by Neil Gaiman

Pet peeve of mine when people talk about comics yet leave out the ARTIST WHO DOES ALL THE WORK.

 

My bad, but I was in a hurry.

And I have seen your work too.

 

Suddenly..I feel a need to find some suspenders, a pocket protector, orthopedic shoes and a slice of Gouda cheese...LOL!

 

please, comic book people are cooler than you'll ever be. been to the movies lately?

 

I never thought I'd agree with you on anything!

 

hahahahaha LOL! I'm gettin' tag-teamed by comic book guy and comic book girl...of course since I'm mini-Urkel, it doesn't matter all that much!

 

Nuttin but love for ya, baby :smt055 Even if you are a dork

 

I read the New Exiles and Pax Romana (image)
X-men always was a fav.
