I don't know why. It was like a sudden onset of chicken pox or a rhinovirus. I suddenly got sucked back into the world of Comic books, and it's not gonna let go this time. I used to collect comics in elementary school (Sonic the Hedgehog FTW),but then I just started getting more into books. Now, though, Teen Titans have grabbed my attention. Did you know that Teen Titans Go!, a recent series, is gonna end soon? Only after 50 issues! That's, like, blasphemy! Yeah, so now I'm obsessed with Comics, and I think someone should start a comic book-esq RP in here. And I mean REAL Comics, not like Heroes, or Anime, I mean DC, Marvel, Spiderman, X-men, Justice Leauge, Teen Titans COMICS.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Yeah, so, um.....This post is so you guys can talk about Comics and stuff along that line. So, um, yeah.

But Heroes HAS a comic series.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_graphic_novels

Is it printed, posted, and sold at various comic shops all across the country? No. It's only available to people with a decent or better Internet connection.

It is still counted as a comic. Printing is not a necessity for data transmission anymore.

Okay, point being, I reallly don't have a point. So, new topic, um, okay so no one like comics but me. Great. But manga still counts as comics, so Ha!

Well, I guess it does, whilst comics do not count as manga. 0.o

So, basically the only comics that I'm interested in are the selections of manga and manga... American/whatever-type-of-comics-there-may-be-that-you-read comics don't really satisfy me, and to tell the truth, I think they're pretty plain... Oh well. I don't have anything against them, and I still read some from time to time that aren't manga, but I still prefer the Japanese-ness over all.

For me, it was my love of American Comics that led to my discovery of Anime and Manga. If it wasn't for Marvel, DC, and Archie, I wouldn'tve found Tokyopop and Dark Horse.

Heh. I somehow stumbled upon them all at around the same time, so I can't tell. I actually think manga got me into reading...

Wow. I can jsut imagine in some class somewhere, there's a discussion about their first books, and a kid says "Well, my first book was Naruto volume 1..."

That would crack me up.

Other than that being highly impossible, I would smack that kid and yell, "Domo will eat you!" Yea. I don't know why, though.

Nah, trust me. It would, and probably will, happen.

Well, for one, Naruto isn't that popular.
Two, your parents wouldn't get that for you to read.
Three, it's too hard if you've never read before.
And five, they wouldn't know of Naruto until they've read at least SOMETHING.

Okay, well, One, I meant any sort of Manga
Two, My parents would
Three, It could be the first thing you like to read
And FOUR, Naruto is an Anime on Cartton Network now, so they could know of it before reading anything. My brother, who is five, knows about Naruto. And he hasn't fully read a book yet.

Okay... 0o0

I need to admit that that's not even a bit odd, but really odd.



But okay.



Hey wait, he's five but hasn't read a book yet? Don't you hafta read for school requirements once you enter?

He just turned five. And he knows his phonics. He just need to know how to read, which he does.

And now to buy him a Naruto novel, eh?

I was thinking One Piece, myself.

XD No. Buy him Godchild.

SCAR HIM FOR LIFE.

Or, Angel Sanctuary.

Just make sure he doesn't end up falling in love with a relative.

'Cause that's how we roll.

XD

Hmmm...
So that's what he means by you being a bit scary at times...

Anyways, I personally would say, "Let him read off the forum." But --

-forgets what to say next-

So, comic books... Anyone ever been to a convention?

Oooh! Ooooh! Me! Me!

Actually I've never been to a convention. Wish I could, though. I would be, like, that guy who goes around with a camera and trying to overtly take pictures of cosplayers and failing horribly.

Okay... A bit odd, but okay...

As for me, I don't really feel the urge to go to a convention... don't know why though, 'cause with my black-hair-with-orange-flying-everywhere-around-it, I really look like a genuine anime character.

But I don't see why that would bring me to a convention.

If I stay long enough, we can go to Metrocon together next year, Anachronist.

That would be awesome, thanks! Although, I have the feeling something will go wrong. But then again, it could be negativity rearing it's familiar head.

Plus, there are several other conventions during the year. My friends Eric and Jason went to like four or five during the school year. Not sure what they're called, however.

And... convention talk begins...

In this case, I have no idea what that'll be like. Also, it's great that someone's being invited to a convention by someone else. It's just what the world needed.

In other news, Devking goes mad by speaking nonsense in public. He claims, "I don't know if it was sarcasm or not." That silly mongoose.

Witnesses at the scene were reported to be traumatized, humiliated, insulted, and a bit turned on by it....

Sorry, I think I've been hanging around Lainey a bit too much...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cons are great, but for some reason, people seem to forget about hygene while being in the vicinity of a convention.

What do you mean they forget about hygiene? And who's turned on by it? >.>

----------------------------------

Moments later, a crazed man emerged from the crowd, AEG in hand and computer in mouth. We caught this before he started attacking the citizens: "Mmrph."

Most people at cons tend to smell, due to the fact that they believe bathing will strip them of valuable time that could be spent at the con.

--------------------------------------------
We caught it, and we're not exactly sure what to do with it. He also robbed an Apple store, liquor store, and video game store, all in the span of 11 seconds.

Oh! There goes the anime con with loathes of stinky people.

------------------------------

Wow. That's all I can say.

So, new comic book related question:
Who is your favorite comic book superhero/superheroine? (Not supervillans yet.)

AOSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.

AS expected.

For myself, I can't really say. I've never followed a series so --

I just don't really feel attached to any character.

Watch Heroes.

Then you may join me in my obsessive Sylar/Mohinder love.

Anachronist already is... He just doesn't know it yet. BWAHAHAHAHA-

Stop. Think. Tylenol.

U need one to stop watching shows like they were candy.

And don't be like Angrite and say: Dude...W.T.F.?

Dude...W.T.F?

Again, I'm not going to say... anything.

-implodes-



Dude...W.T--is stabbed--

-------------------------

And just to share personal insight so that this doesn't look like simple spam,

TV is candeh.

Heroes isn't that good of a show.

I wonder why I keep bringing everyone down.

Because someone has to, and if it's not me, it's you.

Okay.

I'm not kidding. That one word is my post. But just to make this not look like spam, although everyone should know it is by now, (xD) I'm going to make up a paragraph about something completely random, like why we've come on such a random talk when this thread is obviously about comic books and manga... So, let me be the one to bring everyone down again and say, "Let's get back to the subj--*gets kicked*

Ha ha!

Well, how about talking about......*stalling and looking for a topic* Aha! "What superpower would you want to have?"

Yeah, let's go with that.

Seeing how things work.

Oh yeah, I totally went there.

I would go with either being able to suck oxygen out of the air, or probability manipulation.
