El Sitherino Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 alright, so I'm really bored. And very curious. What do you prefer comic books or novels?
CapNColostomy Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 I grew up on comics. Now I read the occasional novel. So I voted both. *Points to this as my least interesting post, ever.*
Black Knight of Keno Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Both. Mostly I read Donald Duck's as comics and as novels, I'm reading the Forgotten realms: Dark elf-trilogy. Got to book two allready
Pie™ Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 I read both, but the comics I read nowadays aren't exactly like the ones I read 5 years ago
Astrotoy7 Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 *see, well it all depends....something like the graphic novel 'From Hell' was far more terrifying than the book, and way more cooler than the movie(as much as I liked that).... But badly drawn Batman with swollen testicles on butchers paper type comix give me the shytes big time... I have a few of the SW TPB, most notable the thrawn trilogy and the XW/Rogue Squadron series, theyre freakin awesome.... adding a whole new *visual* dimension to the EU ; In fact, the NJOs 'Nom Anor' was actually introduced via the great "Crimson Empire" TPBs *runs off excitedly, digging out his From Hell graphic novel and SW TPBs* mtfbwya
Samuel Dravis Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 I find that novels are far better at telling a story than comic books when they're written well. There just isn't enough room in a comic book to have a huge, intricate plot.
Captain Wilson Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Both. Lots I Love my Books and treasure them as m y most prized possasion. Unfortunatly, they still havent taught me to spell I also love my comics or as i call it, manga. Normaly grand for a laugh and more mentaly stimulating then sitting in frounmt of a box
topshot Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I read both. I'll read both comics or japanese manga, as well as a good book.
Mike Windu Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Novels. I never got into comic books. I prefer the slow character development and good plot, instead of sporadic comics that I never keep track of.
ET Warrior Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I voted both, but I read a LOT more novels than comic books. But I do love comic books
ckcsaber Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Never really got into comics. I used to watch the animated Spiderman and X-Men tv shows though.... I read a lot of books. I was thinking about being an english major, but I got scared off.
Prime Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I would recommend to anyone that they pick up an issue of the Star Wars: Republic comic series. Excellent stories of the Clone Wars...
TiE23 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 I only have 2 comic books in my possesion, but like 50+ novels So I voted novels TiE

Sivy Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 both i have loads of spider-man & superman comics from when I was young, which I still read from time to time. but nowadays I prefer a good book.

Edit- hmm first one to vote dont read But you do read posts on this forum, right?
Samuel Dravis Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Originally posted by Pie™ But you do read posts on this forum, right? I think the more correct question is: does anyone read the posts before them?
ET Warrior Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 Originally posted by Samuel Dravis I think the more correct question is: does anyone read the posts before them? People post here?
leXX Posted August 11, 2004 Posted August 11, 2004 I love both. I have an extensive comic/graphic novel collection, and I have two big bookshelves overflowing with novels. I actually need to buy a new book shelf. I've read 10 of the top 20 novels atm. My husband says I read too much. =/
jebbers Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Originally posted by Pie™ But you do read posts on this forum, right? aren't we a funny one! but i do read these...i was referring to the comics and novels....other than that i read the forums....
Bob Gnarly Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Try Graphic Novels. Try The Infinity Gauntlet Kingdom Come Sin City (they're makinga movie of it soon with a naked Jessica Alba:cool: ) Watchmen Earth X Anything Sandman 100 Bullets - a personal fav. And from what ive heard... Spaghetti Western is amazing
ckcsaber Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Mamba, wth you been? And the movie version of Sin City looks like it's going to be amazing. They have so much talent working in it.
Bob Gnarly Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Well for awhile everyone left the forums includeing you, and since my "master" chi3f stoped coming by, i just hungout in AAO. Now i just work, read comics, play any MOD that interests me on Half Life (cant find any Natural selection servers, even though it looks awesome). Anyways now im more active at ConceptArt.com then anywhere. I only posted here because i collect comics andasking for comics or novels is kinda dumb when you have Graphic Novels, best of both worlds!
