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
http://browse.barnesandnoble.com/browse/nav.asp?env=web&visgrp=fiction&bncatid=784541 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
