I prefer manga. But I've been thinking of getting into comics, namely Spider-Man or The Flash.

I don't read that many and aren't currently reading any. hard to pick a favorite though what came to mind first was the new 52 run of wonder woman. also found of rebirth's justice league vs suicide squad, but I do prefer shorter runs in a series. wish comic series where more shorter runs (story arcs contained into a smaller series) just so it would be easier to look and find the entire story arc. perfect middle ground would be keep series like they are but give the arc a name and put it on the covers.

I never actively followed comics (ie, as things came out). I just checked out graphic novels and older runs, usually.

I do prefer graphic novels for similar reasons I stated above. I like more self contained stories.

Most comics are hipster trash atm because that's what sells. I was in the comic book store with my sister and there was one with an Asian baby breastfeeding off a black boob.

I told my sister to look at it, and she replied with "' "

Of course when I asked her what she thought about the gay Batman, she was sarcastic with "OF COURSE there's a gay Batman.", so to her somehow gay Batman (which I thought was cool, you know, because it's INTERESTING and useful to the plot) is lame, but multiracial breastfeeding on the front of a cover isn't cheesy at all.

wait there's a gay batman? if its a alt universe then whatever infinite universes infinite possibilities, Marvel has a gay wolverine I believe in a alt universe. but as far as i'm aware marvel tends to be the only one doing shit like this.

I mean DC still doesn't see the problem with black characters literally having black in their name. black manta, black lighting, black spider just to name a few.

Saga is pretty good though.

I'm not actively reading a comic book right now, but I prefer indie stuff. I don't like the super hero stuff.

Thinking about getting into DC. Dropped Marvel a year or two ago because of their bullshit.
---

I stopped reading new comics after I let my last subscription expire in 2014, but I do enjoy going back and reading the older runs that I have, especially my Marvel Essentials.
---

I read them when I was a teenager. I read Marvel. I still have them at my parents' home.

Teddyboy HK

I cannot read it though because I lack Chinese language knowledge but hey, great story and great characters.

Usagi Yojimbo is my favorite series. That one and Groo the Wanderer are the only two i buy individual issues for.

I love disney comics. I've read a lot of what IDW has put out over the past couple years.

I found a Marvel reading order and i've been alternating between a modern reading order, that begins around 2001. And a Silver Age reading order that start with Fantastic Four #1 in 1961.

The Marvel Unlimited app makes it really easy to read most of their books and its only $6.75 a month.

Currently I've dipped my toe into DC comics. with DC: The New Frontier. And the Adam Strange Archives.

I have a few thousand dollars worth of TPBs, but I dont read anything very current. The newest releases I have are the New 52 Suicide Squad and Remenders Uncanny X-Force.

new 52 suicide squad wasn't bad if I recall

also I probably could read a bunch of older comics, moms married to a mervel nerd who has like a 1000+ old ass marvel comics, and i'm sure he'd let me read them if I asked, too bad i'm not a fan of marvel or don't want to because from what i've seen hes a dick about taking care of them down to how you hold them while you read them.
