What comics do you read?  I'm fond of Preacher, Dork Tower, Knights of the Dinner Table, PvP, and Batgirl.

I had a guest strip published in one of the KOTDs...I forget which issue and have little desire to go looking through them to figure out which one it was.

Anyway, I like the Sandman stuff and Watchmen--I've also heard really good things about Red Star.

Let's change the subject back to what it originally was...

I like Clavin and Hobbes, but that's not really a comic book.

Good one. If it was a comic book, then it would have been back on topic.

I don't read any comic books anymore, but when I was a teenager, I used to read The Savage Sword Of Conan as well as Conan Saga.

I occasionally picked up The Punisher and Punisher War Journal, and once in a while an X-Men or Wolverine special series, but not as regularly as the Conan books.

I was never really that much of a comic book geek.  I reserve that kind of time and effort for gaming.  :)

So basically, they are lame unless they are not?

:lol:

I like Sandman myself. I've got a pile of old ones here. Some day I should drag them out and make sure they're still ok.

Most of what I have is old Dark Knight/Batman series though.

I used to be keen on The Punisher a long time ago. My brother is big comic fiend. He's got tons of issues all wrapped up and stored away. He swears they're part of his retirement fund.

Never got into the comic book thing, but American Splendor was a kickass movie!

I read a lot of online comics, bvut only the ones the gf emails/ims me to look at.  She's addicted...  but i do read some honest comic books too... nothing in particular.  When i was younger, i used to love the GI-Joe comic books.  Those were quality.

How about recently published material. Like Coheed and Cambria's "Second Stage Turbine Blade".

I never really got into comics, but I have a friend who runs a comic book store, and he's working on a series with Ben Avery that looks pretty interesting.  The cover art is by Greg Horn.  It's called the OZ/Wonderland Chronicles.
