Other comics?

Well, we're all obviously Nightcrawler fans, (duh) but what are some of the other comics that you guys are into? I noticed someone's username was Squee22. I'm guessing that you're a Johnen Vasquez fan. Are you into JTHM, too? There's a lot of stuff that I like from Slave Labor Graphics. Lenore (anything by Roman Dirge) is another good one. There's a relatively new one called Stitch that's pretty good as well. (It's SO cute, with living rag dolls and creatures like the Skelebunnies and Devil Woobies!) So what other comics is everybody into?

Heck, I don't afford nearly anything, so I only buy comics with Nightcrawler in them. But I have read many other comics dealing with various mutants (so I get background on the people Nighty hang out with).
Double heck, I don't even afford buying food this month... Well, let me see how long I can live on bread and water! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif

Oh! Poor Gnahrf! I also have a very limited budget right now, too, so I don't pick up all that many comics, but Slave Labor Graphics puts out books that I got into a few years ago, when I had a little more money. I don't think I'll be buying any comics until Ultimate X-Men 8 comes out. They were so MEAN to 'Crawler, but I really like this adaptation. Very dark. Wouldn't it be bizzare if the girl who sings to him at night was an angst-ridden, Ultimized Allison Blaire? (Sorry, I just reread X-Men Unlimited 32, and she's stuck in my head, now.) ............ Maybe not.

Ahh... I also wait for ULT-8, first I believed the singer was Rogue, now I'm not sure at all. By the way, you must always prioritize here in life - foods or comics? Easy choice! (At least you can live without food for four-five days without getting hungry, trust me.)

Ah, hmm, well no....I named myself after my pet crayfish who is named after the sound robots make when they're destroyed in comic books: "SQQUUUEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Well right now I'm focused solely on titles that have the elf in them, with New Xmen and Ultimate xmen thrown in too. I used to buy quite a few different titles. Elfquest, A Distant Soil, mostly alternate press fantasy stuff. Xmen is the only superhero line that interests me. Lately though the non superhero stuff has dried up, so I'm not buying much at all except xmen. Anyway it's an expensive hobby, and money's tight.

My favorite comics outside of X-Men are/were the Sandman series by Neil Gaimen.

It's quite a bit darker than Excalibur, but it was quite quirky and humorous at times, and the characters were very aproachable and interesting.

(I just noticed. I must be really vain. I like characters that kinda look like me.)

Any others, nope. Budget tight, tight, tight...wish there were more online comics.

**(At least you can live without food for four-five days without getting hungry, trust me.)**

Yep! the choice is easy. But now that you mention that, I remembered a friend of mine mentioned today how cockroaches are high in nutrients and protein and that there has been cases were people have been able to survive in perfect health just on the lil cute buggies...Don't worry! I once (don't ask how, remember I'm into bio too) swallowed some ants...they were pretty good!

Then again, those are just some stray thoughts from a shorty whose way past bedtime http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

**"SQQUUUEEEEEEEEEEE!"**

OOOh, oops, almost forgot... I really like your name, Squee22! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I really like Death's solo stuff. Sandman has some great stories, too. In my erstwhile death rock days, I wore a top hat, black lipstick, and egyptian-styled eyeliner EVERY DAY. And since I'm a pretty happy person, I got some Death references. "You must be a Gaiman fan," comic fans were heard to opine as I walked to school. What character do you look like? Now I'm curious.

Lesee ... what comics do I read?
Wait a minute ... let's put it this way ...
What comics can I AFFORD to read?
Most of the titles I read are from Top Cow: Witchblade, Tomb Raider, Fathom, The Magdalena, Blood Legacy; The Story of Ryan, Darkness (I'm not too keen on the blood & gore, so I don't read it as much).
I've read E.V.E, Proto-Mecha (if you're looking for a good story--DON'T BUY IT). The new Batgirl is pretty good, but I don't like the new Spidergirl too much (how come Marvel can never launch a good series with a female lead character?).
I have the 3 Essential Wolverines (& a subscription, naturally ;D), Ultimate X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Spawn (again, I'm kind of sick of the violence in it), Eleketra (1996 back issues & the newest ones), Wild Thing, Excalibur, Gargoyles (based on the TV show), Supergirl, Lady Death, Lady Pendragon, Wonder Woman, and half a dozen other graphic novels (League of One, etc).
I blame my older brother for getting me hooked!!

"Mein Gott ... it's a Cabbage-Patch NIGHTCRAWLER!!!!"

Oh! Sorry, Squee22. There is a comic book called Squee!, about an adorable little boy, who makes the sound "Squee!" when he is frightened, which is often, because he lives in a scary world, filled with fantastic creatures, and scary and indifferent people. A homocidal maniac gothboy named Johnny used to live next door to him, too. It's actually very well done, and it's by an artist from somewhere in California, so I figured (incorrrectly) that you may be into Slave Labor Graphics comics, which is based in CA. But you took your name from a pet? That is so adorable! I used to have a pet white rat named Squeak, who was just the sweetest thing. I adore all my pets. I actually have a black cat named Lamia, so there's another coincidence! Wolverine has gotten progressively more violent, don't you think? I've never read Lady Death. I used to be into Vampirella, Catwoman, and occasionally Razor. There IS a shortage of good comic book heroines lately. And villainesses, too, for that matter.

OTHER Comics? Y-y-you mean there are comics that DON'T involve Nightcrawler!! GASP!
WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO!?!?

J/K. Other than the X-men, I read the occasional Simpsons and Dexter's Lab comics http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/redface.gif . I would probably read more and cooler stuff, but my mom might not let me (yes, my mom. I'm only 14). Plus, the only comic book store in town carries only Marvel and Anime stuff.

well...
i read (besides x-men tiles) hellboy,darkness, witchblade, sin city, but if i am short of money (as always) i only buy x-men (but only if kurt APPEARS in the issue)

give a kiss tall and dark bamfsome!!!

Oh, cool. Sin City! One of my tattooists is into Sin City, and he showed me some of his recently. I liked it. Very Film Noir. I've read Hellboy, too. Good stuff.

No kidding!? I had no idea!

Yeah, I've got alot of pets, too--2 goldfish, Squee, and 3 dogs. One of my dogs is quite ill at the moment so I'm hoping all will turn out OK tomorrow.

Just trying to keep my mind off it.

As for comics, I buy only the XMen stuff...I used to buy EXC, UCXM, XM, XFAC, and XMAN a couple of years ago. Now half of those are gone (or dried up) and so it's just Uncanny and XMen and now Ultimate. I have a soft spot for other superheroes like Iron Man and Spidey but I don't really follow the books.

If I could only afford one this month, it would be Uncanny because of Kurt.

BTW, does anyone else think it was stupid for Marvel to change the title of the adjectiveless XMen to "New XMen"--What dos it mean? They're not new, none if it is new. They couldn't have thought of another adjective? They did OK when AoA came along calling the titles Amazing and Astonishing. I'm sorry, but there's got to be a better name than "New XMen".

Incredible XMen? Brilliant XMen? Fabulous XMen? Fantabulous XMen? Spectacular XMen? http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

LOL!

Other comics?...sheesh...this could be a looong post because there's a bunch of other stuff that i'm into... http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/eek.gif Where to begin? (Cool topic btw SPOOKYSPICE!)

O.K. I'm an incorrigible and long time Marvel zombie so I buy a ton of their titles.
Of course I buy most of the X-stuff, and i'm a Spider-Man junkie as well. (J. Micheal Strazynski's doing some incredible stuff with my other favorite wallcrawler!)
I'm somewhat of a DC fanatic too, and I soak up most of the Batman related titles, including Nightwing, Birds of Prey, Batgirl (ditto LAMIA!) and Robin. JLA continues to kick complete a@@ and it's one of my monthly must-reads.

Some other books i'm really enjoying right now are Battlechasers, ( when it comes out http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif ) Rising Stars, (WOW!) Humberto Ramos' 'Out there', and Image's Warlands. From week to week i'll pick up pretty much anything that catches my fancy and/or pique's my curiosity. Oh yeah, and as a rule I buy anything put out by either Alan Davis or Frank Miller! (whew!)


BAMF!

**Gargoyles...**

LAMIA! Really?! How/where/when did you get it?! I can't find it anywhere in my area! (ok, let me cool off a minute...) http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
