Thread: Comics?

Who here is into comics? I've been reading comics for a while now. Whose your favorite company? Marvel or DC? Whose your favorite comic book character? I'd like to hear from some comic fans.

I was into comics maybe 12-13 years ago, and I mostly didn't stick to the Marvel/DC scene. I was into Image comics, actually. Spawn, Pitt, Cyberforce, Wildcats, Savage Dragon, Shadowhawk, Maxx... ah, just listing those names brings back some memories.

I don't read a lot of Western comics, but I'm into manga. I'm reading Death Note right now.

I'm only into manga and my comic that I draw up.

You've got good taste.
I was mostly into Image, also. Spawn is my favorite comic book character (I've still got issues #1 through a-hundred-something in my garage). Maxx was an awesome(ly twisted) comic - the cartoon was pretty cool, too. Aside from Image, I was into a bit of Marvel. Never really branched out much further than the X-Men, but that was definitely enough.

I'd like to buy some comics that I've heard of, but my dad has all the comic knowledge I'll ever need. It's like he went to a school just about comics.

And about manga, It's great and all (though I prefer Anime since It moves), but comics are great too. I mean, without comics, there would be no manga, really...

Anime is great because it moves, but Manga's tend to have a better story line to it.

Take Negima for example. I've read the first 4 books of it and at about the 3rd book or so Negi gets this little ferret thing that can talk.
In the anime, on the first episode, Negi already has the ferret thing and the main girl finds out Negi's a mage a different way then the manga.

I'm pretty well read as far as comics go. Marvel is probably the publisher I have given the most money to over the years, but they're all good.

My top five series ever are probably:

Y: The Last Man
The Goon
Invincible
Scott Pilgrim
Tom Strong

I've spent an exorbitant amount of money on comics in the past, but I haven't bought anything new in almost a year.
