I...don't read comic books, nor have I ever. x: I don't read as much as I used to, aside from school-related stuff.

Totally irrelevant, but my classes were quite weird today. One guy kept randomly throwing drug references into everything, which, funny as it was, was not appreciated by the teacher. It was his hand motions that made it specifically funny, though.

I only read manga, not comics, although they are the same, but I don't really like Western comics. (i hope you know what I mean)

There's too much to learn about comics for me to want to read them. I feel like I would have to know way too many things to be up-to-date enough to even say that I read comics, and that just discourages me before I start, haha.

Oh goodness, I understand this. It's why I only really like to read things that are finished, relatively short, and self-contained. Like Watchmen. You can get all of it in one book and you don't have to know anything about anything else to enjoy it.

I enjoyed reading the Kick-Ass comic, that was a good one. Really gory, too. Never did get around to seeing the movie though.

Wouldn't it be cool to be a vigilante though?

That's why a lot of different lines are basically rebooting. Back in 2011, DC Comics launched their "New 52" plan, which is essentially taking all their comics and restarting them again from #1. (even long ones like Superman and Batman where each had over 400 issues) That whole initiative was made specifically with potential readers like you in mind. A few of the big ones like Superman and Batman start in media res, but for the most part, a lot of the titles are giving origin stories and letting readers have a very solid jumping on point. In addition to that, the new "world" is one where superheroes have only been around for like, eight years, so there isn't a ton of stuff you need to know about.

I wasn't a comic reader before then exactly for that reason. Felt like you had to know 50+ years of history to really understanding anything. Though I've gone back and started reading older stuff since then. A lot of the big story arcs are done in a way where they should be relatively accessible to anyone trying to jump in.

Another of jumping into comics is to watch some of the animates series based on them. There a quite a few free on Netflix. It's not the same, of course, but it lets you get to know the basics like who some of the characters are. The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is actually really well written.

I still need to start reading the Deadpool comics myself as soon as I get some free time from work, also there's Wormwood - The Gentleman's Corpse and Scud The Disposable Assassin even though finding those online can be a pain sometimes.

@Kura: I know that feel bro, same thing happened to my clam chowder last night.

Comparing clam chowder and nutella? Interesting.

Xulek, you have no idea how excited it made me to see your avatar.

I know I might be a bit late, but, on the topic of comics, I'm still over the top because I just found book #2 from the longest-running Spanish series, Mortadelo y Filemón, started in 1958. I have almost all their 194 books and that was the only one I was missing from the first 160. I'm so hyper right now.

Congrats Went! Damn, that sounds like one hell of a collection.

As for the Nutella topic, I went to the supermarket the other day, and apparently Jiff, that peanut butter company, made a chocolate hazelnut version. Copycats. =/

My mother just brought some Nutella home, too... think I'm gonna go make myself a sammich

Holy mother of god, Italy, here I come. I need that. Like actually, I stock up on jars. A huge jar like that would be super kawaii.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm eating a Nutella sandwich now. Yum.
