    Which ones do you read, have you read and which ones are your favourites.

    Some of the ones that I have read and loved are Transmetropolitan, Y: The Last Man, Powers, Watchmen, Hellblazer, The Walking Dead and Locke & Key. Plus many more. I do read some of the Superhero comics by published by Marvel and DC so if you want to discuss those I can handle that.

    I highly reccomend Locke and Key, it's written by Joe Hill who happens to be Stephan Kings son and the are is done by a guy named Gabriel Rodriguez who has quickly become my favourite artist.

    I used to read super hero comics like the Avengers and the Justice League. I eschewed the X-Men and that line because I thought they were too trendy -- everyone loved Wolverine, and while he is cool and all, I've always thought he was overrated.

    I don't read as many comics as I did 25 years ago. I read Watchmen long before the movie came out, and I liked it. I liked the first two Ultimates series, too, though the third one was utter crap.

    Deadpool has basically become the new Wolverine. If Marvel wants to boost sales of a storyline or title they just add Deadpool. They used to do the samething with Wolverine all the time. Now that they aren't using Wolverine as a sales booster he has become a much more interesting character in his own titles and as a support character in others.

    I enjoyed the first two Ultimate volumes as well. The third one was so bad that after it they decided to blow up the whole Ultimate univers (Ultimatium) and start from a point after they killed pretty much everyone. I haven't read any of it after that.
