Comics?

[JustaBitOutside]

I am so into The Walking Dead it's ridiculous! The new batman and robin stuff is pretty good, star wars legacy is what lucas wishes his new movies could have been. Anyone else read comics?

[MyNameDidntFit]

Not real ones... I just read the occasional webcomic... meaning that I just read xkcd >.>

[Lance]

Use to - I had a collection of 15k+ at one point during my teens. All Marvel - mostly the X-Men titles (all around the late 90's) - with Spiderman, Avengers and Fantastic Four mixed in. But I got rid of them ages ago, got tired of lugging them around when I moved so I gave them to my nephew.

As far as webcombics - Ctrl-Alt-Del, Applegeeks, Little Gamers, Looking for Group (hence the avatar) and xkcd are on my list.

[JustaBitOutside]

hmm, I'll have to check those web comics out. Agreed that collecting the issues is a pain, I tend to stick with trades, or read them in Electronic format.

[Anne]

I've always been a Marvel fan, with X-Men being my fave. I dropped out of reading them a while ago and then kinda got back into them about a year ago.

As for webcomics, you can't beat Dinosaur Comics. You just can't.

[Jason]

Ah, I could never quite get into Dinosaur Comics. It's one of those strange things where I can see it's funny and clever, but somehow I don't quite find it funny.

Gah, it's hard to explain.

[Anne]

Oh Jason! You break my heart! (http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1164)

[Jason]

Hah, that was quite a good one. :)

I have to say, I'm a big fan of XKCD - it has a habit of being funny enough to get me laughing out loud when I really don't want to be!

EDIT: I forgot - I also quite enjoy Dr McNinja (http://drmcninja.com). Anything with a main character who has a pet raptor called Yoshi that fights Zombie Ninjas is worth my time.

Dr. McNinja is without a doubt one of my favorite web-comics of all time. Though I much more liked it back when it was Black and White. Seemed funnier to me for some reason.

This is another one I really enjoy:

Achewood (http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/home)
This is the very first strip from 2001:

The comic has changed so much over the years it's almost scary. And it's still being updated.

Oooh I love Dr. McNinja! The artwork is amazing. I don't read it often like I used to, but I do like to go back to it and catch up every once in a while.

[Jason]

I'm not surprised you like Achewood, Konnie. I was reading a few myself the other day to kill some time, and I actually thought "this strip is pretty much written for Konrad".

I'm unable to decide who I find funnier, Roast Beef or Phillipe.

[MyNameDidntFit]

So, I couldn't resist... I bought xkcd: volume 0, a hard-copy of a selection of comics from the first 600 or so xkcd.com strips >.>

I like it. It looks and feels sexy and makes me feel gloriously nerdy when accompanied by the "Science. It works, bitches" shirt I also bought from the xkcd store...

:D

[Jason]

Haha, I liked that one, but I think this one is the one I'd get:

[MyNameDidntFit]

I was considering getting that one as well, but I didn't have the funds in my PayPal >.>

[dimples]

I'm sure I would love many comics, but only ones that I read are Donald Duck ones xD *insert embarrased face here*

[JustaBitOutside]

It's ok, I like Archie still :)

[Lance]

For those that like Looking for Group, the creators are doing a new comic alongside LFG called Gutters. Each comic is a stand-alone comic that parodies the comic book industry - they've released a sample of the first issue:

[Jason]

I can now add the excellent Sam & Fuzzy (http://www.samandfuzzy.com) to the list of webcomics I use to kill time when I'm bored. Well worth a read, and it's pretty easy to pick up - I started at the beginning of chapter 5, and then read the entire back catalogue in an afternoon after that.

[Jason]

Just found this little beauty - it's a promotional comic that the Penny Arcade guys were commissioned to do to promote the release of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory's multiplayer segment.

I enjoy the webcomics :D
