Me I never read any comics untill I read mangas**I always thought that batman and spiderman was for boys,** so I avoide it, I watch the shows and stuff but thats about it, I don't think I'll ever read one either because I'm so use to the japanese mangas, now I just can't stand them(U.S comics). Maybe if I read them when I was younger I would have like them. But now only mangas and korean comic I read n_n

i read american comics for alittle while, but i was getting tired of seeing super strong looking dues, plus the art was always too "flashy"..then i met manga or manwha, and now I'm going back to american...lol...they're both good, but to mee manga has some better stories, the people seem more "killable" in manga than in american comics, but with manga, the characters, almost always seem to nice, i guess, if they aren't nice then the story is jacked sometimes...lol Now pretty face is funny...i liek spawn, i liked some others that i don't remember...

I read both, even though, lately, I read more manga than US comics. For US stuff, it's mostly strips I read, like...

Foxtrot
For Better or For Worse
Peanuts
Blondie
Family Circus

I also really like the Archie comics and still read them every once in a while. I like the Archie Double Digest and Jughead's. I don't like Betty & Vernoica's comic much.

when i lived in arizona for a couple years for school, i bought most of my manga from a comic book store and also got comic books from there. i like them both the same.

now though that i am back in los angeles, the comic book stores are out of my way so i haven't really read comic books for a while. have ben reading manga though.

Only manga at this point.

More because I have absolutely no access to comics, but manga are everywhere. Same for bunko (Like the マ series, 狼と香辛料, 十二国記, はるひ etc) compared to English novels. Bunko are everywhere, but I`d have to pay an arm and a leg for something in English.

I did read comics back in high school, when my boyfriend was part of that culture.

I grew up on American comics...X-Men, Daredevil, Wolverine, Vigilante, Moon Knight, Iron Man, Teen Titans, New Mutants, the list goes on...

Then I got into anime a bit in college...Akira, Dominion: Tank Police, Dirty Pair, Appleseed...

Then in recent years got into manga...Lone Wolf and Cub, Tomie, Tezuka stuff...

and that brought me back to the US comic world... Full circle.

Ah yes, I LOVED Archie comics. Jughead was cool and Veronica was hot stuffz

Ahh that's the ticket!

He went to my universities main campus (I went to the sub campus in a different city so I read his comics in the school newspaper, met him at Animethon.)

Nice guy, funny comic.
