    This whole thing where the ladies are suddenly into cosplay is the single greatest thing that could have ever happened to the world of the comic geek. Just sayin'...

    @bunnyxhime Have you read the Cyclops spinoff from the All New X-Men? It's pretty good.

    I had to do quite a bit of classical drawing and painting in school. In some ways that's easier than drawing comics/graphic novels, IMO.

    Unless you're talking oil paintings like John Singer Sargent or something lol

    really? i never found it that way. I found the simplistic style of comic books and (the more popular nowadays) manga a bit limiting, If were talking the wolverine one above then i havent drawn that style before.

    I appreciate the creation aspect of a comic, the ability to not use a static ref, i found that hard.

    I'm strictly graphite, i draw part time now, doesnt pay well haha. do you have any examples of your work?

    This one? If so, I only came upon it recently (I know it's been out for over a year >.o), but I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it. Is Cyclops your favorite X-Man?

    Love this thread and had to share my two cents. Kamala Khan (Ms Marvel) gives the best description of Logan that I've ever seen in these panels. fgb0imt9tsp8.jpg

    Unfortunately, yes. It's very weird. Also new to Archie is exploration of the main character's own death and afterlife. I haven't seen the issue but read that he dies as he lived (selfless and willing to do anything for a friend), while defending said character who otherwise would have died for those beliefs.

    yeah the volumes are the way to go for reading, I bag and board all of my books, but whats great about technology is that my ipad has electronic versions of the books, they even digitalized old old issues

    I love having actual issues of comics and such, but after moving around so much, it's easier (and cheaper), to just read stuff on the computer for me these days.

    Gave up on actual comic book issues a long, long time ago. But I still grab compilations / graphic novels when I get the chance. My boys are getting into them now, so it's been fun revisiting them through their eyes. ;)

    While it's been a long time since I've done any real sit down reading, comics were the inspiration I used to build my physique. I started reading in the 70's, started collecting IRONMAN from #68 and a few others mostly from Marvel.
    Not quite the geek anymore, but I still love catching a great read once in awhile.

    I mostly do volumes, but I also read online a lot. I can't afford to buy as many as I would like, and wouldn't have room to store them all anyway. I have several stories by issue and lots of volumes anyway though. Currently, I'm reading everything from House of M through to Civil War (across all series: X-Men, Iron Man...even the remote and unknown ones like Arana: Heart of the Spider). Almost all of that is done online, cause that would be an insane amount to buy and half of the stories are from series that I don't regularly follow. Thank goodness for Marvel Unlimited.
