Hi, I'm from Italy but I'm a great fan of American entertainment in comic book form. My username + avatar are pretty big hints about my favourite title of 2015. To be fair, I still have to find something penned by Garth Ennis, whether DC, Marvel or Indipendent, I can't enjoy at any level, so I could be a little biased in my opinions about the author.
My current reads are almost exclusively DC, but that doesn't mean I don't love some Marvel classics, like Claremont's first Uncanny X-Men run, Peter David's X-Factor, Byrne's Fantastic Four, or less celebrated works like Busiek's Avengers and Michelinie's Amazing Spider-Man.
I registered a week ago, but I thought that today would be the right time to present myself to the CBR community AND to wish a merry Christmas to all the forum members!
Hi everyone. I'm Jeff, a long-time action figure collector, and I'm starting to tire out of action figure collecting. I started collecting comics due to the launch of DK3 Master Race!
Hoping to read for several days/weeks to get more knowledge around the Comic Book Collecting hobby.
Hi,
I go by Phonytoast, I am a long time Comic Book reader (DC, Marvel, Image, Others) and Gamer (Mostly fighting games. I have been collecting comics for about 22 years now and recently started a comic book podcast\live stream as well. I don't want to advertise on here but if you google my name I am the only Phonytoast so you can check out the previous episodes on my youtube. I haven't been on a comic forum for a while and miss the online discussion format. I hope to contribute to this large community.

Well, i'm Sam, for a living I sell various bags, usually ones with steel zippers and synthetic fabric made from an offshore manufacturer in China. These are high end bags none the less but I was born with a serious condition... I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep. I started reading comics after I wasn't allowed outside for my safety, they really appealed to me as it allowed me to feel like i was living in another world, like... I was from Gotham or Keystone City, etc. Now I sit at home still to this day like when I was a kid reading comics, but now I do it from a computer...
Hi! I am starting my collection with some Deadpool and Marvel collected editions. Also, recently I have found Transformers books with really good artwork so have been starting to build a small collection of those as well! Eager to see what people think in this community.
Hi, I am from Aberdeen Scotland and used to read a lot of comics when I was a kid (and also a lot of D&D & WW RP). Not sure when that all stopped but a few years back I read Watchmen in preparation for the film (I like to read the sources before movies I want to see) but after the film got slated I didn't bother watching it. Anyhow, after reading the Watchmen I forgot just how powerful graphic novels/comics could be so I slowly found myself reading less books and more stuff with artwork.
I have 2 daughters (7/10) and I am slowly getting them into enjoying comics themselves. I am always on the look out for age appropriate material for them and I am always on the hunt for that new story. I am also trying to convince my wife (who often says "you're such a geek") to get into comics too and she like Red Thorn #1 so if you have any recommendations for stuff like vampires and pretty much anything supernatural I reckon I could convert her.
Currently I am reading the following
Huck
Superman American Alien
Snow Blind
Everything so far from Aftershock label
I think I got up to #130-ish on the Walking Dead, need to catch up on that
For your daughters: Gotham Academy (DC, Cloonan, Batman universe but not too connected) for your daughters, the wife and maybe even you. Think Hogwarts in Gotham City.
Black Magic (Image, Rucka) for your wife and you. A female cop against a coven of witches.
Revival (Image, Seeley) for your wife and you. A female cop, Stephen King small town type horror and zombies (with a twist)
