Interesting.
Between my brother and I we have one of the largest comic book card collections I've ever heard of. We have more than I could possibly remember but I'll try to list some
X-men fleer 1, 2, and 3 (i think)
Spiderman fleer 1
Marvel Masterpieces 1, 2, 3, 4
Ghost Rider
Punisher
Batman (during Knighquest)
Marvel Metal series
There were about 3 sets of Marvel trading cards that I'm not entirely sure what brand they are but one involves a set of 9 cards becoming one giant picture.
The newer Marvel series
Overpower
Not all of the VS but a good number of them.
2 sets of DC
and Marvel vs DC
So you might say that I was influenced by them but I would like to think my comic books pervade my desicions foremost.
Most of mine is from actual comics. Anymore, I don't trust anything else (TV, movies, video games, etc.). They're entertaining, but I don't treat them as 'information' in the strictest sense.
And I can't afford too many comics, but a great local book store lets people come in and read whatever they want. I buy stuff when I can, but that's where I do most of my reading. The downside is, they are kinda behind so I have to wait a while to read stuff. For example, they won't have Infinite Crisis (the collection, not the TPB's) until August. 😬
But still...not bad for free.

1. comics - I usually download them first to see if they're good and use it to get issues I don't really plan on spendin a cent. If i like them enough, i buy them and if it's a major crossover or a part of my collection, i buy them right away.
2. Websites: Wikipedia, Marveldirectory, titan's towers, Leader's footnotes, Marvel.com, hyperborea.org, corvusonline.net, etc.
3. Comic forums. CBR, comixtreme, SHH, SHC, comicboards, alvaro's, buzzscope, CX, CXF, animenation, newsarama, etc
4. Handbooks. Never trust them in a debate for finding info since almost all are usually 60-40% reliable.
im so so with the info back then cause i really dont have any old books. my grandpa had some old ones but he gave them to my older cousin before hi was borin. he gave him fantastic 4 #1 cap #1 and my other cousins they tore them apart when they where little. lol guess he didnt put them in a safe place which was stupid.
