No, I'm not dead yet. And fyi, we have a member here who used to be a very important production member of one of the larger comic book companies.

Comic books, or graphic novels, have far more interesting storylines than anything on tv today.

Since all(well most) of these superhero movies have made so much money, I guess you would have to consider those that went to see them morons too, huh?



As for StuperMan, so eat Krytonite!

Well, I knew as soon as I posted that it was going to piss someone off - but then again I studied literature in college and still read a lot of books and none of them have cartoons in them.

Don't worry, I have become a cigar snob too since joining CA.

As for the movie industry, I'd say they know their target audience pretty well (it just isn't me anymore).

So because you studied literature(ooooooh), you can call people morons for liking comic books. I see.

And if you are you calling me a cigar snob, you can f yourself.

Don't get you panties in a bunch, I was calling myself a snob. I'm also an asshole too (admitting it is half the battle).

But I will never consider anything that needs pencil drawings to tell the story a novel.

Still there is an audience for everything, how else could professional wrestling still be making millions?

I think Superman and the Ultimate Warrior have been brought back from the dead the same number of times.

You are funny. Your communications style indicates that you either did not pay attention to your studies or failed to absorb lessons from your readings.

You may wish to investigate the influence on culture and modern literature that is the legacy of the comic book, graphic novel, etc. Whoever granted you your degree was remiss in this area.

I'm headed back to reading about quantum mechanics and m-theory. The book has pictures and diagrams, so I must be a moron for reading that tripe.

Only if your text book has pictures of the Green Lantern in it

It isn't a textbook, it is a novel and while it mentions superman and has a drawing of a car that could be Speed Racer, it doesn't have The Green Lantern. Sorry to disappoint.

It's INFANTRY BLUE.
