Can I participate in the quiz fun? 
what's your favorite ongoing?
I'm not into any ongoings. If I was, it would to be digital only. I do buy the Brazilian edition of some comics though (Spider Man and Secret Wars montlhys only, then I'm stopping once and for all).
who is your favorite artist?
Hard to say. Coipel and Capullo I guess.
favorite writer?
Hickman on the comics side. But, I'm not gonna lie, I'm more a manga guy. So I would go with Togashi (YuYu Hakusho and HxH) and Araki (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure)
Why do you read comics?
I actually only want to tell this story.
You see, my father is a big comics fan. And he was even before I was born. He and my uncle used to be subscribers of Marvel Comics in Brazil (at that time, they were published by Abril in size smaller than the one used on the US). So, as a child, I always saw ton of Spider-Man and X-Men comics.
But, that was the 90s. And the 90s were fucking confusing. Opening up a Spider-Man comic to be greeted with clones and weird shenanigans when your only contact before was the cartoon is certainly not the best way to get into comics. So, I didn't really read those and kept only reading Turma da Mônica (a Brazilian all-ages comic).
Even so, comics were always there so I always took a peek. Then, after Onslaught my father stopped reading them because he was tired of that shit. That was also when manga started to come around here and I decided to buy Dragon Ball. We were both hooked right into it.
We only read manga for a long time and only came back to comics at 2006ish right when Civil War was wrapping up. And then, we subscribed to Marvel (for 3 years).
Right now, we buy more mangas than comics (again). And I'm more up to what is happening since my father didn't really wrap his head around the concept of digital comics (he doesn't like to read then in English either). We're probably going to stop buying the monthly titles after Secret Wars and stick to the trades that are finally being released around here in a steady pace.
So, it's all my father's fault. Thank you dad.

Having the artists vision of the scene laid out really draws me into the story. Also comics relax me when things are stressful in ways that normal novels don't

I'm really curious to see what this is going to be given how Marvel is teasing it and it has multiple artists. I'm guessing it will be an important tie-in book for IvX or something, but Marvel only tends to do teasers this long for the stuff they deem big.

It is absolutely epic man, really eye opening stuff. The trades are really nice too, the paper they used, I don't know what it is, but it's so nice. Really really recommend it.

Silly PsychBat. It's never time to read comics.
oh, is that all? Let me know when they give her icicle gun a rapid-fire mode. I bet that's coming next.
Nah, man. I'm telling you guys it's about the lost civilization of Mu.
That's bizarre. It was a good run, definitely check it out. Underrated book right there.
oh, look. It's some 3rd-rate MAC.

Uncanny is the worst book. A terribly recycled plot that's basically nonsense, Land's art is mediocre at best and usually just bad. Lashley's art was enjoyable, but like I said that entire arc's writing was pure nonsense. The team has average chemistry, again, at best.
Extraordinary, '92, and All-New are all better than it by a lot.

Seriously, when is she getting her own book? Come the fuck on, Marvel.
I'm not saying I agree with them, but that seems to be the prevailing opinion for whatever reason.
The X-Men are moving to Mu!

Haha brilliant, I liked this. Funny thing is, the first spiderman comic I ever got was a clone saga issue, right at the beginning. I ate up as a kid though, I even vaguely remember thinking spidercide was a cool villian.
I mean, I'm sure once I've been around a while again it'll be easier, but I'm literally always reading things you guys all say then scrolling back pages trying to get a track on what you read, like, don't like haha.
Well, learn something new every day. Why were they published in a smaller size, tho?
I'm a junior, too. So this would be cool to see, as well.
And you are killing me in posts, 206 to 66, so you'll get a better understanding much quicker.
I only started reading comics regularly so I don't have a favorite artist or writer yet.
what's your favorite ongoing?
Berserk, JoJo(I'm on Part 5), Superman and Wonder Woman
Favorite complete runs?
Midnighter, Injustice Year one, John's Aquaman, Burnside Batgirl
Why I started reading comics?
I watched Young Justice for 9th time then DC'c Rebirth happened. I was thirsty for super hero cartoons so I started reading comics.
I really need to start reading Marvel but I need to get a job first.

The X-Men are going to a time and place before FOX ever got the movie rights.
So does Gene Simmons. Not saying a lot.
Is the stuff within Amazing Spider-Man OHC Vol. 2 the end of the run up to ANAD?
Here's what's included in it: Amazing Spider-Man 7-18, Superior Spider-Man 32-33, Free Comic Book Day 2014 (Guardians of the Galaxy) 1 (Spider-Man story)
Also, is ANAD a direction continuation?

Haha well I knew some people well, but there's a good turnover in here I guess, some of people I remember or not really posting much, some people gone completely, but a whoooole bunch of new folk, and a lot of the books out now are different so in terms of current stuff, I'm a bit headless what everyone is into.
As for posts, I just like shooting the shit haha and I have a lot of free time to post in a way, too much time haha. My last account has 3000 odd posts and most of them had been in comicsgaf as well.

No, but there is already the next ASM OHC announced that will include the missing issues.

I dunno. With my luck I'll probably take a peak when it shows up and end up liking it. -_-
I'm not paying $500 for the Sideshow statue in a costume she's never worn.

Mmm, bleeding cool speculating MU could be a fantastic four revival or at least a Richards book not using the FF name.
So I went ahead and bought the DnA Guardians of the Galaxy omni. I was able to get it for $40 from someone because Marvel did a bad guy move. For anybody who doesn't know, they released this book like three months ago. Then, about a month ago, they solicited three huge cosmic omnis, that contain, among other things, THIS WHOLE RUN. In a much more complete format. Can't believe they did that.
Anyway, I don't think my budget would allow me to buy those three $125 cover price omnis, not to mention a crucial part of their cosmic line - Annihilation - is horribly out of print and hasn't been re-solicited along with this other stuff. So I bought this book cheap. I hope it at least has a summary page or something that will allow me to read this coherently without feeling lost. Maybe I'll get the War of Kings OHC too since it apparently overlaps with that a lot.

Sure, Rich.
The current X-Men writer is definitely writing the FF returning, not a book clearly called

I don't know. I think almost everyone could see that coming for a couple of years now. Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest pretty much followed the marvel comic reading list posted everywhere.
My only disappointment was that the GOTG omnibus didn't include Annihilation Conquest Star-Lord.
I went with the GOTG omni too. Favourite part of the whole run. The rest has a little too much mediocre stuff/filler thrown in.

Maybe I probably put too much. Its hard to narrow down and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I've been reading a long time..
I'm not sure that's the title, but the book also has two artists known for drawing X-Men stuff on it lol.
