Why I Love Comic Books

  • I've always loved comic books and graphic novels. They truly are imaginative and allow new stories to be told that otherwise wouldn't. There's so many comics and characters I love including Batman, Superman, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Vampirella, Spider-Man, Black Cat, Captain America, Iron Man, The Watchmen and more. I adore how there's a version of these characters for everyone and also a mainline continuity that (usually) also stays true to the core version of said character. So whether you're reading something independent like Lady Death or a big mianstream character like Wolverine, here's why I absolutely love comic books.

      @@DegenerateJay a lot of them are struggling because a majority of new comics are soulless and don’t sell. These new writers are creating characters and storylines for the loud people on twitter- who pretend to care but couldn’t be asked to read a comic even if it was free

    I’m very thankful for Superheroes since I didn’t really have a real life strong male example for a large chunk of my life growing up. Superheroes are one of the things that literally helped raise me unfortunately. Comics and Superheroes are one of the things that inspired me to lift weights, take care, and upgrade my body. I always thought what’s the point of liking comics and Superheroes if you don’t look like one? (Or at least attempt to look like one)
    Thank you to everyone involved with building the comic/Superhero genre for not just the entertainment, but the lessons. 🙏🏾💪🏾

    I didn’t start reading comics until I was 18 and I was missing out big time. 100% agree with all your points here. I was never a huge fan of the flash growing up, until I started reading more about Barry and what he stands for. He quickly became my favorite superhero of all time.

      Not a comic but Fullmetal Alchemist is by far the most accessible manga series out there and it's still one of the greats. My Hero Academia is another obvious choice if you're into Marvel/DC. If you're looking for something with a more mature edge, I recommend stories like Blade of the Immortal, Monster or any of Inoue Asano's works.

    Hi Jay, if you had to choose 3 of your favourite comic characters who would they be, for me it'd be Harley Quinn, Black Cat and Doctor Aphra! My favourite comic has to be Harley Quinn breaking glass, I love the art direction and the story about gentrification and the spin on DC characters, you should really read it! I really agree with the video and on how comics are a way of art that gives you the pictures but also makes you think about them too. I also love comics like The Amazing Mary Jane and The Killing Joke. Fantastic Video :)) I kind of want to start reading Vampierella but have no idea where to start, I kind of want to read some Vampierella DC crossover comics. I think what you saying about if you don't like a character on screen there is going to be a comic version of them more to your taste and I couldn't agree with this more

    Yes.
    One thing I'll always love about comics is the variety of art and creativity alot if them have, some are cartoony, some are realistic, some are a mix of both like BONE, I like DCAU or Spider-Man big time kinds of art, this cartoony sharp edge like style, Blacksad has this super realistic grounded detailed design, or BONE a mix of cartoon and realistic designs.
    Disney's Gargoyles comic series also has this cartoon gritty like design, I don't really know how to explain it haha!!
    But regardless the art is always alot of fun, usually, if it isn't then I'll just ignore it lol

    Just reread Bendis’s Daredevil comic run with Alex Maleev doing the incredible art. EASILY one of the best long going runs on a character I’ve ever read, can’t recommend the omnibuses enough. The recent Immortal Hulk series by Al Ewing I had a blast reading as well

  • @seasonedmind914
    @seasonedmind914 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The little 'collection' I got of Spider-Man Omnibuses I got have been great reads overall. Two are of the original The Amazing Spider-Man comics, one's the first part of the Clone Saga, and the last is Spider-Gwen. Personally I like the two TASM omnibuses most of the lot, but Clone Saga part one really made me love Ben Reilly as a character. Not to mention how it contains issue 400 of TASM, with it having one of the greatest character sends-off that should've been left alone, and not been done away with in future issues.
    I'm planning on getting the DC comics involving Ratcatcher's first appearances, but I'm waiting a while before getting around to that. There's also the Fantastic Four Omnibuses that I'd like to get, too.

      I adore Watchmen but it's a dense read. It's more of a deconstruction of comics and superhero morality. It's definitely worth reading but I wouldn't randomly jump into it if you haven't been reading comics for long (I'm not sure if you have or not).
