comics and graphic novels?
 
even when I am ridiculously poor, if I walk into Minotaur it is rare that I will leave the store empty handed. (generic pop culture store.. http://www.minotaur.com.au )

my reading genre is fairly narrow, goth, dry humour, erotica etc. I'd probably like to read more but at the moment I dont see the one friend I have who does read comics and graphic novels.. and there are so many other costly hobbies I have.

what do you read>?

My friends read comics. Manga mostly.

I read books and scoff at them.

noisereductions 01.09.2009 09:22 AM

I don't like manga.

I tend to like the old EC stuff -- and I like horror stuff in general. Friday the 13th stuff, or the stuff Rob Zombie's done, etc.

The smurfs.
Smurf King and The Smurfette are my favorites.

I always stop and look through the graphic novels when I go to the bookstore, but nothing ever really catches my eye. But I love the idea of them, and would love to find one that I really liked. And yes, I realize that Barnes & Noble is probably not the best source of graphic novels either :)

I'm too old for comic books. I only watch cartoons.

I bought Watchmen two days ago and am absorbed in it, about halfway finished. It is the first cb/gn I have ever read, but I can tell it'll be far from the last.

I enjoy most things Marvel.

Yeah, anything by Charles Burns is great. My favourite comic ever though is Love & Rockets.

I just borrowed Planet Hulk from the library for the snowy weekend...

mangajunky 01.09.2009 02:20 PM

I love samurai comics like Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal.
You could always read some of the stuff I put out like Akihabara@DEEP, Fujoshi Rumi, or Maka Maka. ;)



 

 

 


I'm totally shameless.

I read a lot of Marvel stuff. Some time ago I was into MAD Magazine, but they have become pretty weak. Now I mostly buy the German Gothic mag or sometimes the "Dark Spy" mag.

I'd try, but my nails need clipping.

that said...I'm off to rub one out while listening to Earth, Sun, Moon (it's the closest I can get on such short notice).

really enjoyed this, hardly any text if i remember rightly, i want to say you could re-read it many times,but due to the lack of text you kinda like just re-look at the pictures!.

Phlegmscope 01.09.2009 06:23 PM

I'm bummed that I can't find any of the stuff mentioned here in the libraries.

Lately I've been catching up on a lot of series by reading the trade paperbacks. Let's see... Criminal, Y The Last Man, The Walking Dead, Northlanders... a few others.
