Yeah, the Beast Boy and Raven books are very slickly marketed and did very well in our collection (YA books do the worst of any section in the library, with the exception of the manga and graphic...

Heh, its' funny, I read Marvel Comics: The Untold Story when it came out, but I'd kind of forgotten about this guy until I read this article today, which describes him fishing used paperclips out of...

Context: I was a children's librarian for six years (I recently made the switch to academic libraries-- loved my job, but was totally burnt out). For three years, I was solely responsible for...

I truly haven't been paying any attention since Marvel NOW (I think it was three... no, FOUR jobs ago that a coworker was trying to explain Battleworld to me), so this is quite disappointing! I feel...

Wow, thank you! I remember when Spider-Man: Life Story was announced, I was in love with the concept-- but I think I saw some negative reviews of the first few issues and never ended up reading it. ...

Wow, thank you! Mentioning the issues and trades is also super helpful. I've been a patron of Crushing Krisis for years (actually, around the same time I joined here... I had an account in 2008, I...

An interesting question! As someone who's really only read the Silver Age and some Bronze Age comics (I never really read past Kraven's Last Hunt), I couldn't pick between them. Adore them both....

My local library does, but the library I work/ed for doesn't. Too expensive. And I'm not sure what comes with Hoopla as a sort of baseline collection vs. what books need to be purchased. I'll have to...

That's where I started and mostly stopped reading, so I feel the same. The comics from that era sort of mesh with the 90s cartoons, for me-- that's why I love the Hulk and Spider-Man queues at...

I think I've had a taste of Slott's ASM, and his writing on Peter might not be my cup of tea-- but I must say the idea of Superior Spider-Man essentially being an in-depth, fanfiction-esque...

Planet Hulk and Fraction's Hawkeye are two I made sure we had in the library collection, but I haven't read myself. Awesome! I have liked everything of Pak's that I've read-- I forgot to list his...

Awesome! Thanks so much for the reply! Lots of recommendations that weren't on my list-- I'm excited to check them out.

- HOX/POX has been on my radar and summaries of the storyline did really...

I started reading comics 20 years ago. I was 13 years old, X2 had just come out, and Borders had these big comic book displays with a mix of contemporary comics and volumes and volumes of Marvel...

Danny Elfman's Main Theme still gives me chills; better themes than anything in the MCU outside Black Panther.

That scene near the end where he's descending from the heavens to the blare of Led Zeppelin on it's own was the kind of thing I never expected to see in a major blockbuster. Waititi and Gunn really...

This is super helpful, thank you. It's funny, I recognize Archie Goodwin and Denny O'Neil from reading about Marvel's company and creative history, but I don't think I've read any of their work. I...

Hey! Had an account back in 2011, re-registering post-Endgame because it accomplished the previously impossible: making me want to read comics about an Avenger.

I'm a huge fan of Claremont's...

Forgive the excess of commentary, but it's what I like to see on people's lists... (and these are definitely "favorite" and not "best" movie rankings):

22. The Incredible Hulk (I'm a fan of Ang...

Maybe it's because I've hit 30, but I feel like I've transcended the barriers of embarrassment; I had a literal moment this year listening to Toxicity where I said to myself, "It is time for me to...

I think the influence of comics on my life is a narrative I've crafted in retrospect (I guess that's just how human memory works), but I'd definitely point to Yuki Urushibara's Mushishi as a...

Around the age of 12, when Raimi's second Spider-Man was just about to come out. Borders was still in business, and they were stocking those big b&w Essentials volumes. I started with the original...

I think noting that I'm a single woman gives my answer some context: I love doing things alone, and there are certain things I wish I could do alone safely.

I've also found my enjoyment of...
