NGN FAVORITES: COMIC BOOKS

What happens to be the Non-Geeky Nerds' favorite comic book and characters? Well, I am glad you asked haha It doesn't really vary from what I assume to be either a general fans or a fanboys. A matter of opinion I guess. I don't really care, as I like what I like. So here it all it...

Fav Comic Books As A Kid

• Batman
• Detective Comics
• X-Men
• Uncanny X-Men
• X-Force
• X-Factor
• The Amazing Spider-Man
• Spider-Man
• The Spectacular Spider-Man
• Web Of Spider-Man

I had a couple other comic books, but it was Batman (1989) that got me to really take a look at them. Startd with just Batman, then I moved to the east coast. Where I lived, there wasn't any Batman on the shelves at the stores, so I got into Marvel. Mainly X-Men, but I did like my exposure to Spider-Man and company as well. A friend I had at the time, was able to get his hands on Batman titles though, so I didn't completely miss out on Knightfall. Which I went on to later collect (single issues) as an adult.

Fav Comic Book Characters As A Kid

• Batman/Bruce Wayne
• The Joker
• Bane
• Wolverine
• Cable
• Havok
• Gambit
• Bishop
• Spider-Man
• Venom

Like I said, it started with Batman and his rogues gallery. Like most, The Joker stood out to me. But, so did KBGBeast for some reason, but beyond a cover I don't remember that much. But, then I discovered Marvel. Like most, I gravitated towards Wolverine. Hard to avoid, being Canadian and all. Bishop had the sickest mullet haha Venom was another obvious, but Carnage could have/should have been included, but left him off because I hadn't read much about him beyond Maximum Carnage. Bane broke the bat. 'Nuff said.

Then, unlike other things there is a gap for my teen years. Moved back to central Canada but, where I was at least, there wasn't even any comic books for sale at the stores. There was a comic book shop for a very brief period, but that was mainly back issues. I kept drawing, watching movies, but beyond that comic books disappeared from my life for a period.

Fav Comic Books As An Adult

• Batman
• Detective Comics
• Justice League
• Green Lantern
• Harley Quinn
• Red Lanterns
• Batman Inc.
• Robin: Son Of Batman
• Batgirl
• Catwoman

Fav Comic Book Characters As An Adult

• Batman/Bruce Wayne
• Robin/Damian Wayne
• The Joker
• Harley Quinn
• Two-Face
• Catwoman
• Poison Ivy
• Bane
• Scarecrow
• The Riddler

As you can see, it is Batman through and through, well I njoy The Joker and other villains the most, but you get it. I even named my youngest after Harley Quinn to emphasize the point haha I actually enjoyed the New 52, unlike many, but I used it to get back into and my oldest starting into comic books. Plus, I really liked some of the revamps of Bat-villain backstories. Made them updated, but still "work" and not annihilate the characters.
