I'm a huge comic book nerd. I read a a bunch of Malibu and Image comics as a kid, as well as the standard Spiderman, Captain America, Superman, and Batman.
I still read a bunch of comics... mostly online now due to the cost. I miss the comic shop.
Right now... I think my favorite is Hellblazer. I also really enjoyed the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Marvel 1602, marvel Zombies, and still read Spiderman, Captain America, Image titles like Invincible, The Walking Dead, and load of others I'm forgetting right now.
Comics are like my drug. need my weekly fix or I get the shakes.
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

I loved Archies and the whole gang... I don't read comics per say but I admit I do read the funnies if I happen to go through a newspaper...

Couldn't agree more. And I loved Wolverine. The origin...
When I was younger I read Conan, Spawn and the Phantom. I love Hellblazer Marvel 1602 and Fables. And I buy the American version (not translated)
What do you mean you miss the Comicshop? Don't they exist anymore?
I that case...thats horrible!! That was highest on my list to visit when I someday get to go to US...

Oh the comic shops are still around. It's just at 3 dollars or more a comic I can't afford to visit them any longer. I get them cheaper through digital access instead. But it's not as great as shooting the breeze with the people atthe store, and getting into intense arguments over something from the medium.
Oh yeah, I remember that X-O Manowar is being redone, as are a lot of comics from the 90's that I used to love. It's made me very happy.

Female!
When I was a kid I read the Archie comics, Sonic, and Sonic & Knuckles.
Now I read Transformers and BPRD. I've also considered picking up the Deadpool series, but I haven't yet.

Deadpool is pretty great for the over the top comedy and general sillyness.
Ever looked at Atomic Robo? Constant nerd fest of awesome!
Current stuff has Robo being trained by Bruce Lee!

I read comics a lot when I was a kid inthe early to mid 60's...
I always liked the Marvel characters better than the DC ones and those were pretty much the only choices back then (oh there were other companies but they were not really in the same league)...
Characters/books I liked:
Thor
Spiderman
Fantastic Four
Martian Manhunter
Green Lantern
Magnus Robot Fighter (from a smaller company I believe)
Didn't care for Superman or Batman at all really...
other characters I liked (some came much later):
Kilraven
The Haunted Tank
Jonah Hex
Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos
Now I subscribe to Thor - that's about it...

I have heard of Atomic Robo, but never really looked into it. I'll have to look it up later.

Got a ton of comics but don't read or buy them much anymore. I'll get one off of ebay every once in a while.
