What's your opinion about comicbooks?

Yesterday I found a box full of comicbooks from my dad. I read 2 Spider-Man comics and I am really enjoying. I don't think they're childish or nerdish or anything.

Why do people say comics are for nerds? Do you think that? Or even better, do you think that they're for kids? Because those Spider-Man comics had violence and blood in it and well that's never for kids.

I've gotten to chapter ~150 of Spiderman since I started reading it, found it very entertaining.

I also started reading Batman, but the amount of cheese the first chapters had and the terrible artsyle turned me off really badly. Will start reading it again when I have more time.

love them. and i have plans to become a comic artist in near future.

I can tolerate Deadpool.

Love em.  I have my own pull box at my local comic shop.  Some comics can be bad or juvenile, although with modern comics, "juvenile" tends to mean more along the lines of gratuitous violence, swearing, and T&A, ie they appeal more to preteens and adolescents with more "mature" ::cough:: content (hmmm, what other medium does that...).

If you plan on getting into anything current, I can tell you that the current runs of Daredevil, by Mark Waid and Hawkeye, by Matt Fraction, are stellar.  Get the trades for those.  Yes, I know it's the less popular characters, but these books are the best books Marvel puts out right now, Daredevil won multiple Eisners last year, and Hawkeye is up for some this year.

If you're thinking of reading some current "Superior Spider-Man" be warned.  It's good, but a lot has happened to Spidey, and he's not himself, to say the least.

There's plenty of other amazing books out there, both current and collected in trade, go explore!  

I enjoy them but, for me personally, there just isn't enough content in each episode to keep my interest. I'll finish a comic book in a few minutes, then I have to wait a month before I can get my next few minutes of content. I just don't think that formula holds up well today.

I only cared for Spider-man comics really, but I don't read the new ones anymore since Spider-man died

I bought one recently, but I couldn't get into it. When I was a kid I dropped comics for pokemon and then anime/manga and now I don't care for any of it. Stereotypical 'nerds' and kids do read comics though, so that would explain the perception. 

I like comic books, I just wish they were more easily accessible. I have yet to see a comic book store where I live.metroidprime55

I like them. You just have to go through all the crap to find the good stuff. There is alot of good stuff, but there is alot of bad stuff as well. Luckily, the bad stuff doesn't usually sell well and is cancelled, unless you are some big character like iron man or superman, your books can be as bad as anything and they wont get cancelled.

I don't think they are that popular in the UK. Don't know of anybody who reads them.

Never been able to get into them because I can read the whole thing in minutes. Hell, I can put down a 400 page novel in three hours, a comic book just isn't worth the money for the two minutes it takes to get through.

Enjoyable

Comics are cool but single issues are expensive as fvck. I just wait until the collected editions release.

You can start with the amazing spiderman then lol. It's 700 chapters long and was finished in january.

I still love comics and graphic novels, more so than ever actually. I feel like image has been releasing non-stop quality as of late and has been re-inventing the wheel so to speak.

I use to like comic books, and I respect them to this day. When I was 8-13 I use to buy a lot of comic books, mainly GI: Joe. I'm kinda glad I have a comic book collection, even though it is not that well cared for. Off-course in my day we didn't have the fanciest of videogames and had to use are imagination.:) I was actually going to buy a GI: Joe a few months back to see how the series has progressed, but I was too lazy to go to the store.

Comic books (western comic books anyways) are awesome and full of awesome storytelling, incredible artwork, fascinating characters, and humor.

Anyone reading Saga? Pretty twisted and a visual trip.

Going through Ys The Last Man at the moment.

Comics are fine, but I prefer the greater variety of manga. I mean where are my sports comics?

How the heck do you read 400 pages in 3 hours. A 400 page book would take me weeks, maybe a month to two months.

It's that voice in your head that's slowing you down. You can learn to read without having to 'say' the words in your mind.

Edit: Here, try this.

my favourite hobby, atm.

comics are great because not only are they simply fun and able to spark my inner childhood, but they also offer intellectual commentary on the real world. i also love the balance between story and art, and there's nothing better than reading a comic where the two arts forms flow seamlessly.

I like them, but I rarely read books anymore.
