Because of the outbreak of Achewood Mania lately, I was
wondering what comics you guys like. I read them everyday on
the bus and every weekend morning when I'm watching cartoons
and eating Shreddies.

Sherman's Lagoon is probably my fave of all time. About a
shark that's kind of the ocean equivalent of Homer Simpson.

I meant comic strips, but hey, let's expand it to books,
too. I used to collect X-Men comics fanatically, until the
Age of Apocalypse. Batman, Spiderman, Superman, Punisher,
wow... I blew hundreds on those things, still have a lot of
them. I have no idea what's going on in comic book land
now... it's depressing. And I never see comics in stores
anymore.

And I've got a ton of Transformers comic books! Quite a bit
different than the show, though.

man i LOVE XMEN......the old ones. i had a friend who let me
read them all. he had the most extensive collection i've
ever seen......pristine collection. i just had to read them
at his casa.....but otherwise i was left to read and read
for hours......it was marvy. funny thing is i never bought
them, maybe cos i always knew there'd be some guy around
who'd let me read them......tee hee

batman and spiderman are good too (i enjoy the new series on
cartoon nextwork and fox) again.....enjoyable reads but i
never bought/collected them.

i loved buying in canada tho, i only went to a comic store
in vancouver twice and they had SUCH amazing deals (ze ole
US dollah) gotta love the exchange rate!

i wanna see more HORROR comic fans (i like the classic
style.....not the gross out gore stuff btw....i know there's
a lot of that out there)

Jack Kirby used to draw for some of that stuff, didn't he?
This one is classic

I love the old Kamandi comics that Kirby did.

hummmm i'm not familiar with that name at all......

for EC comic's there were many different artists (from the
50's) none of who's names rang a bell.....however i'm not a
comic art expert. i just know that i loved it.......alllll.
thats a cool link, i'll look into it more.

*looks around sheepishly cos i SHOULD know more about the
artists* ehhehe

The EC comics reprints used to give me nightmares, they were
fucking eeeevil. I prefer the DC and Marvel comics from the
60s and 70s where they often mixed up horror themes with
superheroes, alternate dimensions, Dr. Strange being a prime
example. Morbius the living vampire, Dracula and the bad
muthas who hunted him, good times.

Jack Kirby also did romance comics! A friend lent me an
anthology of them. I love the way his art looks chiseled,
like a woodcut.

i love the voice of gambit on the NEW XMEN cartoon show on
FOX....very sexy southern drawl....ehehhe

i wonder if he'll be in the new XMEN movie. i wish they had
that little blue guy in it....i can't remember his name i
think it began with an N.....damn i hate when i draw a
blank!

Nightcrawler, methinks? Yeah, I'm surprised Gambit wasn't in
the first one, I remember him being very popular... then
again, I have no idea what happened to his character in the
years it's been since I read the series. He could be dead
for all I know. :-/

they used to give me nightmares TOO.....thats why i loved
them so much. i love to be scared.....strange i know but
maybe it's the adrenaline rush....ehehhehe

i have read morbius, he's a NICE vampire.....who wants
that.....ehehhehe

i like sci fi/superhero/horror......i even like casper the
friendly ghost comics. IMO the comic's of today are really
lacking in storylines.....i dunno maybe i'm an old school
snob?

someone....tee hee

hahahha!

8^D

Calvin and Hobbes

The Far Side comics

Garfield

Bizzaro comics

(old skool early era science fiction comics pre 1940's)

Buck Rodgers

The Green Lanturn

Flash Gorden

Those early ones just kicked the ass all over the new comics
comming out today... except for maybe Jimmy the homisidal
maniac.

The green lanturns creater used the shapes on the human
anatomy for his ships and aliens .... hint hint.... hahah,
he admits to it too, like star ships shaped like giant
penis's and aliens that look like a clit, pubic hairs for
the hair and all that ...... stuff like that. Its just
wonderful.

And plus comics back then were WAY more popular back then.
And often times the artists/creators were educated in the
scientific research and technology, often times artists
would talk to real scientists for advise, suggestions,
critiques.. I wish I could get in a time machine and go back
to the 40's.... a world with peace, and no hate, and in the
20's to 40's era would be my ideal heaven.

Holy shit Jayphecks, I guess we weren't cut from the same
mold after all. Why'd you leave X-Men at The Age of
Apocalypse you pussy? Some of the storylines were awesome,
especially Uncanny and Wolverine. Jesus, I can't believe
Mr.Big Bad Canuckle Head Hockey Player couldn't tough it out
for 4 issues.
If you hadn't redeemed yourself by announcing Remy LeBeau
to be the most awesomest mutant on this side of the Marvel
Universe I would have never talked to you ever again.

Last I knew he was in rehabilitation after kissing Rogue..

I hated Charlie Brown.. He was always such a loser and
nothing ever worked out for him. It could have easily been
turned into an anime.

I was getting bored of comics by the time the Age of
Apocalypse came out, it wasn't really that storyline that
turned me off, it was just like the straw that broked the
camel's back. I bought a few issues here and there
afterwards though.

And uh... did you just call the Green Lantern BLACK!?!?!?
