[QUOTE="BossMaroni, post: 74107, member: 5200"] LOTS of people still read comics. My 2nd job is working part time at the local comic shop. We have more customers now than we've ever had before (we've been open almost 15 years). We have a couple hundred regulars, including a few dozen who EASILY drop $50 a week on comics. Back in the day, before I was married, I spent over $100 almost every week. Currently I only read a few dozen titles, but some of my favorites are: The Boys The Walking Dead (a zombie comic which is the best-written book currently being published) all the Star Wars titles Conan the Cimmerian Ex Machina Scalped Punisher Max Kick-Ass I could probably go on for a while... I'd definitely recommend picking up these books, which should all be available in trade paperback (aka collected) form: Sandman Preacher <- my favorite comic of all time Y, The Last Man Sin City Watchmen Civil War Kingdom Come Incidentally (for the naysayers) comics are mostly NOT for kids these days. The average comic book (note: [B]NOT[/B] manga) reader is a 25-35 year old male. [/QUOTE]
