Every 4 or 5 months I'll buy comics for a month but I just don't feel I'm getting my money's worth. So I subscribed to marvel's digital comics. It's so awesome reading the older comics without having to pay hundreds of dollars to buy them. I wish DC had online comics available like Marvel. I'm not sure why they don't. The demand is definitely there.

My main comic preferences lean more toward comics that are attached to a franchise; G.I. Joe and Star Wars comics are the main ones, with Star Trek, Doctor Who, Buffy and Transformers as backburners to the Joes and SW. |

I grew up on G.I. Joe and Transformers toys and comics. Every now and then I browse eBay and dream of owning the ones I once had. They've become so collectible, so expensive, there is no way I'll ever even come to close to owning what I had as a kid. Of course, as an adult, I would like them all in mint condition in the original boxes, etc. The pro graded ones are way out of my price range, but even a a full NM run of 80's Marvel Joes would cost a fortune. lol Oh well, it is what it is.

My favorites are Amazing Spider-Man, Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, Wolverine, and pretty much most of the current All New 52 Batman titles. Although, I suppose, I don't really physically collect them anymore. I've gone completely digital with my comic book reading. |

Reps: 568,677,445,621,351 (power: 568,677,445,622) | | I've read comics for most of my life, ever since I pulled out comics from the trash my grandmother had threw away. I even have a site dedicated to superhero fan art and stories called superherouniverse.com.
I have to say though that lately I've began to lose interest in new comics. The comics are costing way too much. They are way too liberal and they've lost that fun factor they used to have. I've gone back and started trying to collect any silver age comics I still haven't gotten in my collection. I actually have an entire room dedicated to holding my collection.
My favorites are the standards like Superman, Captain America, Hulk, Spider-man. I also loved all the old Earth 2 stories, which DC has now currently ruined.
But anyway the old Justice Society All-Star Squadron books are great.
But Superman comics are probably the favorite of my collection. I have more Superman books than any other comic.
