Any Comic Book Fans Out There ???
- Thread starter xarchx
- Start date
You ain't never lied! My buddy's dad is letting us take his huge RV, so we are going to load up on party supplies and Star Wars shit and party in Indy all weekend. I'll probably have to miss the Down shows but it will be worth it! I figure if I'm ever gonna meet a chick that's into Star Wars, it'll be there....

(is it my imagination, or do all these threads wind up being about Star Wars?)

I read Green Lantern, Amazing Spider-Man (has been very good since I started reading around issue 40 of vol 2), Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine annnnd...I think that's it actually. No that can't be right... oh yeah! The new TMNT! It's great. I also tend to read anything with Sam Kieth (last two issues of Peter Parker: Spider-Man and the Venom series for instance are recent ones)
By the way, I am sorely tempted to rant on the rather loathsome McFarlane, after Charlie's Blast Beat. "His" "Action" (if you move them they break...so action's hardly the word...)figures give NO credit to the sculptors (how ridiculous when that's what's praised so highly...).
And of course the recent lawsuits, like the origin of Tony Twist's name...and of course the one with Neil Gaiman, after which I can't see McFarlane as anything but a sleazy slimeball hypocrite.

never really been into comics,maybe if my parents kept all the phantom,superman and spiderman comics they said they gave away i might be a little more enthusiastic lol,if only they new that they could actually be worth a buck in this day and age,its always a case of if u knew then what u know now syndrome!
although my claim to fame in comics would be the number 2,3,4,5 wolverine comics,i didnt know any different myself but i gave them to a friend who was into comics when i was in high school,although i found out later he sold it at a comic store,it wasnt the money factor that pissed me off it was the fact that he lied to me about being interested in the the actually comics,i dont talk to hm these days,funny that!

Here's a list of the crap I read:
Amazing Spider-Man
New X-Men
Wildcats 3.0(Most underrated comic out now)
Fantastic Four
Punisher
Anything Alan Moore writes
Batman(only because Jim Lee's doing the artwork)
Ultimates
Authority
Captain America
There's probably more, but I forget them.

Back in the day I used to be a loyal comic reader. Marvel was my favorite comics. My favorite superhero??? HERCULES!!!!! Not the lame guy on that tv series the marvel one. My favorite books were anything with Herc, Avengers, Thor and Captain America! But I sold them years ago for a girl how dumb was I? Well I was young and in love but that was the past. I was really thinking about collecting again. Matter a fact I was in a comic store the other day checking them out!

Matter a fact I was in a comic store the other day checking them out!You all should check out the League of Extraoridinary Gentleman, read series two. Its like a fuck up acid trip. I'm sure the movie will be nothing like the comic. If it was it would have to be directed by David Lynch.

They added Tom Sawyer to the League movie to Americanize it. This oughta be good. </sarcasm> Hopefully the movie isn't as big of a fuck up as the From Hell movie was.
I learned to read through comics. When I was little you see my dad was a grocery store manager and my mom volunteered at a school library, and I always saw comics and thought they were the coolest looking things. Of course, I was too young to actually read, but eventually I wanted to know what all of the cool words were. Lo and behold, by the time I was in Kindergarten, I was reading at some ridiculous level like 7th grade. I'm not making that up, it may have even been higher, it was the highest entry level reading test the Lebanon city schools ever saw. All thanks to my mom and dad helping me read comics. I buy my special needs students comics now because I know it is something they will read.
I subscribed to Star Wars when Marvel published them (1984 or so) and my sister and grandpa bought me Spidey and Batman books. I ended up reading Moon Knight, Spiderman (spec, web of, amazing, and mcfarlane), Ghost Rider, Star Trek, F 4, X-Men, Hulk, Avengers, mostly Marvel. My best buddy Larry and I would save up our allowance and walk from my parents store (Tat's Food Market) into this shady ass nieghborhood where a preacher (who is now on my school board and helped get me my job - dontcha love how all of this connects) owned a comic shop "Amazing Comics" We drained our allowance there for years. I've got THOUSANDS of comics at this points, but I haven't bought one in years. A few years back whenever there was some storyline about Peter Parker/SPiderman never existing blah, blah, blah I was like "they've ran out of ideas, wasn't killing Aunt Mae enough???" I also got sick of there being 5 titles for every good character. I decided to quit reading and just cherish the memories. Plus, if I ever want to read a comic, I've got the archive. My favorite all time story is probably "A Death in the Family" I did read Spawn for a while, but even it wasn't cutting it. I'm glad to see comics are still cool, and kids are still digging them. At some point I'd like to find a title and follow it again. Who knows. For now I'm enjoying the Marvel movies (some great, some bad - still cool to see them on the screen) and various cartoons that are on. Some of my best books (keep in mind they were bought on my jr. high allowance) are
-Spectacular Spiderman # 1
-"New" X-Men #1 (1975 if I am correct, first w/ collosus, wolvie, storm, etc.)
-Wolverine # 1
-All of the great late 80'searly 90's stuff (mcfarlane spidey #1, x-men #1, death in the family books etc)

Do I read comics? Shit man, I'm a fucking moderator on SuperHeroChat. Right now the best comics, in my opinion, come from CrossGen. They are doing just great stuff, and no superheroes either. They have samurai, martial arts, detective, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. They even have a fucking pirate comic coming out. Don't get me wrong, I still read most of DC's big heroes (Superman, Batman, Flash, etc.), but superheroes are getting dull. I'm getting into books like Queen & Country, Barry Ween and the like more and more.
And, oh yeah, Star Wars. You can't have a screen name like mine not be a huge Star Wars fan. I even went to the convention too. Damn was that fun. Even if they had fucking lines just to get into line.

Why yes, I do hate you
I haven't read a comic in years other than Johnny The Homicidal Maniac. What I need to do is get my ass to the comic shop and pick up the back issues of the new runs of G.I. Joe & Transformers.

Ooh! Comics!
Used to get loads, but I've had to cut back quite a lot recently:
Global Frequency
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Ultimates
Ultimate X-men
New X-men
The Filth
Planetary (And, at last, it looks like it will continue again in a few months)
On a related note will any of you comic fans do anything for Epic?

Anything by Alan Moore
Anything by Garth Ennis
Wolverine
Ghost Rider
OLD TMNT (oversized black and white books)
New Mutants/ early X-force
Thor
McFarlane Spidey
G.I. Joe
the list goes on and on.... and I actually DO intend to pass 'em on to my boy when he's ready.
My dad gave me tons of old shit that he kept from back in the day. Hawkman, captain America, Nick Fury and his Howlin' Commandos, Incredible Hulk w/Wolverine vs Wendigo, and the last book he ever bought - Giant Sized X- Men from '75 w/ the first appearances of Storm, Colossus and Wolverine(as an x-man).
My dad did it, now I gotta carry on the tradition.
Of couse, I only got 'em cause my older brother turned them down. Moron.

...and I also managed to track down the ARMY of DARKNESS miniseries from Darkhorse. That was a feat unto itself.
