Graphic Novel Reading Group discussion

I reckon he goes about twice a week, so 100+ times a year. Once for a shave and then for a polish.

I don't think he's actually bald, he's was just sick of getting hat hair from wearing Cerebro to find other Mutants. The evidence James McAvoy has hair, Patrick Stewart not so much :)

If Wolverine is the best there is then who's the worst?

Ambush Bug would be the worst. Clearly he doesn't have any staying power.

If Spider-Man had to choose which one to be his good friend, would he choose Batman or Superman? Why?

Batman. It's like aversion therapy.

What's the worst comic you've ever picked up?

What's the worst comic/Manga you've ever picked up?

Death Note !!!!!!!!!!!!!





What is your favorite music genre and SOLO Singer from that genre ?????????

Rock is perhaps my most listened to genre and I would be less than I am without a daily dose of Eddie Vedder.

If you were to contribute {perhaps write or illustrate} to a graphic novel what would it be about?

I would probably write about "Red Steel" (which I actually have a fan fiction on that!) that is about Colossus from the X-Men becoming a vigilante after the events of Avengers vs. X-Men.

What's your favorite X-Men storyline?

Death of Phoenix or God Loves, Man Kills, can't decide.

What is the most, in your opinion, obscure independent graphic novel you ever read, and what are your thoughts about it?

Probably the Fear Agent series by Rick Remender since not that many people seem to know about it. So far, it's a pretty good read although there is some confusion in the plots.

Who is your favorite X-Men character?

"Your stupid questions." [thwip]

Outside of personal life events, what was the last thing that made you cry?

I used to be a hater,lol.Of Graphic Novels and Foriegn Films with Subtitles. A friend of Mine convinced me to give it another try.At this time my all time favorite is Joe Hill ( Locke & Key Series ) have you read that?

No, I have not read that. But I probably will.


I'm reading 04 books, at a time. How many are you reading, at a time ????????????

I'm reading about 3 books at a time so I could catch up with my reading goal for this year (150 books!)

What's the worst X-men storyline you have ever read?

The Dark Phoenix Saga - decent enough story, but heavily over-written. I hate being spoon-fed, you should be able to work out the characters' motivation from what they say and do, shouldn't need loads of thought-bubbles and explanation text-boxes.

So, now we've covered that, what is most likely to annoy you in a comic?

Jeff Lemire - I love how he writes about the brokenness of family and relationships.

Mark Waid - Clever, smart and just knows how to write a good story. (Really love the recent Daredevil work.)

Kurtis Wiebe - After reading Green Wake, I'll try anything he does. Even though it was very different from Green Wake, I also loved Peter Panzerfaust.

What's been your biggest graphic novel disappointment this year? (Not necessarily published this year.)

You did say "Not necessarily published this year.", so I'm going to say "Naruto" ................



What is your current book's chapter number and title that you are reading ????????

I'm on chapter one of Telegraph Avenue, and just starting X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills. Oh, and I'm still dipping into the 'back-matter' on Jinx.

No! Evidently I aint the only one :)

Christopher Isherwood, a novelist.

Question: Are there any horror graphic novels?

Lots really .. all that comes to my mind now is
Swamp Thing - Alan Moore
Hellboy - Mike Mignola
Locke and key - Joe Hill ( Stephen King's son )
also there's lots of Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe stories that were adapted into comics.

S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders

Which comic would you most like to have read as a plain-text book?

Charles Vess
I love his artstyle, not only that, but I met him once and was one of the genuinely nicest people I've ever met... + he drew me a free sketch inside one of his books :-)


Which comic celebrity have you met that totally surprised you as a human being?

Neil Gaiman surprised me by just being a generally nice guy, I'd expected him to be all intimidating and... well, he wasn't. Grant Morrison on the other hand...

Will the X-Men: Days of Future Past movie be any good?

I have to go with Spider-Man, followed closely by the Avengers. Spidey has always has always has great attitude, and I enjoy the team aspect of the Avengers.

My question is which anti-supes book do you prefer? The Boys or Black Summer (warren Ellis)

I'll try to get this thread started up again.

It's interesting. I haven't read the Boys or Black Summer, but my favorite comicbook series were written by Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis respectively(Preacher and Transmetropolitan.) I'd have to say from what I've read that I like Transmetropolitan better, but I've actually finished Preacher so I'll say I like Preacher better.

If you were stuck on a deserted island with one comic, movie, novel and album, what would they be?

I met John Byrne at a Chicago comic store in the early 80's. He came across as aloof, as if signing the book that I was buying(one of his art books-which I still have) was a terrible chore.

Which Howard the Duck story did you love and why?

Sorry, I misread which question I was answering. I would take Watchmen, Billy Jack,anything by Heinlein, and anything by Elvis to the island.

My question still is: Which Howard the Duck story did you love and please explain why?
