Y'know what you guys need - other than a girlfriend and better skin - you need someone with good taste in comics to steer you towards the good stuff you may not have picked up. Someone who you have come to respect both as popular figure at KMC, an arbiter of good taste and fine judgement and someone who you look up to, maybe even consider a personal friend.
Tough, you don't got that, you got me.
I know you are all addicted to your "men-in-tights" super-books. Yay batman! Yay X-men! Yay those superfreaks - we all love them, but it's not the whole story - so once in a while I'm going to tell you what the real cool kids are reading, and if you can get over the fact that it doesn't have a chick with big ya-yas in a skin tight top in it, you might want to at least pick it up off the rack for a look see.
I wanted to call this thread "Let go of your dick for a second fanboy" but I figured Paola would shut me down - so instead we can call it "Zero wastes his breath" ("LGOYDFASF" for short.)
I'll post my first tip soon. Not sure what rag it will be, but you may want to try to prepare yourself for the fact that Venom probably wont be in it.
Yeah, your so called taste in comics in merely opininated. though i am not much of a comic cat anymore i believe most mainstream comics are just tired and recycled crap. I think the best comics worth reading are not from Marvel, or D.C. this is just my opinion though. I am not going to pass it off as good taste in comics. I am not an x-men fan or superman fan anymore, but i recognize that i ounce was,and everyone has their journey through the world of comics. Even die hard fanboy's will graduate to matured reading in comics one day. well most times they do, or just lose interest all together, or yes become the comic book guy from the simpsons.
i know your probably overflowing with sarcasm. I am not totaly disagreeing with you. There are many great comics at the comic shop, that some people wont touch because it isnt a revognizable superhero in tights. you have to remember though that many of the concepts in the more mature comics are not very relatable or just not comprehensive to younger comic fans, so they stick to spiderman and the x-men which keep giving the readers the same metaphors they have since the beginning. I htink the best tip to give someone is to just break away from standard comic companies and see what else their is.

zero, you remind me of Newsgroup from bluntman and chronic, just don't start using the word "bollocks" every few words.
as for comics, i tend to stick to the people who actually are better writers: kevin smith, Anne Nocenti, Frank Miller, Brian Bendis, David Mack, and Alan Moore in the tights and fights realm, Jhonen Vasquez Tom Tomorrow, and Robert Crumb for other comics, and Elizabeth Wurtzel (whom I've met and is an incredibly nice person), Gabriel Garcia Marquez, George Orwell, Auldus Huxley, Samuel Beckett, William Shakespeare, and JD Salinger for traditional literature
