who reads comics and what do you read?

Besides Peanuts,

Dinosaur Comics www.qwantz.com
Kate Beaton www.katebeaton.com
Perry Bible Fellowship www.pbfcomics.com
MS Paint Adventures www.mspaintadventures.com

I check Dino Comics every day, Kate's every week or so, PBF is on hiatus. MS Paint Adventures isn't really a comic at all? OMG

generally speaking i like the type of stuff that people like fantagraphics or drawn & quaterly put out, my favourite comics writers are the hernandez brothers, chris ware, dan clowes & charles burns, occaisionaly i'll read mainstream stuff, like runaways or x-men, i like to read japanese comics but it's hard to find good stuff, still i like the work of osamu tezuka, otomo yoshihide, hideshi hino, yoshihiro tatsumi and Secret Comics Japan is a totally great collection, but it seems to me that most of the good japanese comics don't get translated and we end up getting inane junk like Death Note and Clamp comics. when i was a kid i would read tintin and calvin & hobbes over and over again.

I never saw that phoenix, and its ages old and certainly not on the first page. Also have you been to the places in Melbourne besides Minotaur?
Anyway, I'm currently reading through old Hellblazer, upto #70 - nice to see Kit avoided the refrigerator.

heh, it was only two or three weeks ago :P

hmmm not really? maybe... not offhand? TBH I dont think I know any other largeish stockists of international published stuff? a bazillion zine stores like sticky etc, but not not actual GN or comics.. where else do you suggest?
