I used to read Archie as a kid, but what got me back into Sabrina was that it went manga. Tania del Rio is drawing it and has turned it into a great shoujo (girl) title. It's getting quite good, with a deeper story evolving. I'ts not just a bunch of one-issue stories.

Not sure if I have any interest anymore in the other titles.

Never really took an interest in sabrina, but it did catch my attention when it went Manga......the art is great, but Im still not a sabrina fan.

Sabrina was always my favorite character - I connected with her. I watched the cartoon and live show for a while. So it was a natural for me to get back in it when the comic went manga.

Who's your favorite character and why?

[Gray Lensman]

Favorite characters sounds like a good idea for a thread, Silva. We haven't done one of those in a while.

My answer can be found in your avatar, but everyone here knows that already. ;D

[BJC]

Out of all the comics...in every company, Archie will probably always been my favorite. Got it non stop for the last 5 years...which I cant say about any other title

Though I wasn't intending to start a discussion on that, it does sound like a good idea.

I was actually trying to ask BJC what his favorite Archie character was.

But maybe we'll just start up that thread and see what he and others say there.

[BJC]

Its an all around good idea, yes

[philster]

I read Archie as a kid, actually that's what I started with. Got a lot of double digests still.

Uh, Jughead's gotta be my favorite, even if nobody asked

[Sir Ped of Ro]

the last 6 months i've been cutting seriously on my comics monthly list due to 2 main erasons:
- tiered/unhappy at a few titles i liked/followed
- tiered of paying 3$ for a comic that within a couple of months will be on the 0.50$ bins (or you can buy from ebay at even less than that, specially in nice lots).
- i pretty much prefer to hunt down the comics that made me dream/fall in love with this medium when i was a kid (and never did read them in their original/english format)

so right now:
- Concrete (mini-series that ended, very good one)
- Fables (my fav. comic - it's been a longtime)
- Y the last man
- Astonishing X-Men (it's mostly for cassaday that i'm staying)
- Ultimates (thinking on dropping...really tiered of the huge battle formula, but i love the art)
- DD (dropped out but i can't denie that with the very positive critics and astonishing covers i'm tempted to try/pick it up again - oh and yes i also suffer from completionism syndrome)
- Astro city (whenever it gets out...like around every 2 to 3 months)
- Strangers in Paradise and Birds of Prey (for my wife)

so, from around 25 monthly titles i'm now at 5 (possibly 6 with DD) and i'm very happy with my choice...

from some time i've entered on the realm of the "silver age and bronze age" (60's and 70's) memory lane and i'm loving the trip

Added a few new titles to my pull list so it is now:

Amazing Spider-Man
Marvel Knights: Spider-Man
Ultimate Iron Man
New Avengers
Young Avengers
Marvel Adventures Spider-Man
House Of M (I actually decided to buy it!)
Spider-Man: Breakout
The Ultimates
Fantastic Four

Green Lantern
Nightwing
Action Comics

I actually decided to start reconnecting to the DC Universe. While Action Comics wasn't that great, the other two were pretty good.

Pedro, glad to hear that you also read Concrete: The Human Dilemma

IMO, Concrete's one of the most intelligent comic series I have ever read. I've bought just about every Concrete mini just because I've been blown away so much by Human Dilemma.

I must say, Pedro, for a recovering Marvel zombie, you have excellent taste in comics. -SHARK DIGGLER

Sharky

I'm still (and maybe more) of a marvel zombie/junkie, but not what has been done lately...
and since i'm not much of a DC guy ;D i end up saving some nice books for the good books

I always was interested on reading concrete (along with hellboy and sin city) and when this series came out i pick it up and was surprised/impressed and moved by the characters inner motivations and (important) social issues...

i've been hunting down also the past minis, but i'm specially looking for an 1st edition HC which has plenty of extra material/stuff...

what appealed you most in this story/mini-series Sharky?!

regards, Pedro.

[thebarkingshark]

The thing I like the best about the Concrete books is the every day problems that the characters deal with.

Unlike most heroes, Concrete's not looking to save the world from some stupid villain with pointless reasons in trying to take over the world. I love the way the book deals with political and social issues, which is a beautiful thing and I wish more comics were like that.

Great characters too. I especially like Larry Munroe, he always seems to be getting himself into bad situations.

It's too bad more people don't give books like Concrete, Strangers in Paradise, and Stray Bullets a chance. They're some of the best books out there but I guess people would rather keep reading the same old repetitive crap they've been reading that can't hold a candle to these books in most cases.

Pedro, you ever read Optic Nerve by Adrian Tomine? It's a great series that unfortunitely doesn't come out often enough. He had a run of 7 issue with his mini comic before he moved over to Drawn & Quarterly and has had 9 issues come out so far there. If you get a chance, check out that series. -SHARK DIGGLER

i share your opinion/feelings towards concrete!!!

optic nerve?! funny thing, because my friend/store owner at Portugal has been trying to find me out a few of those issues to read (he likes thema a lot).

one of my recent discovers/crushs are the graphic novels of Owly writen and draw by Andy Runton. have you tried it?! i really love the stories and the art is really a cute/nice one to see.

have you read the latest graphic novel of Craig Thompson "carnets de voyage"?! if not go get it, it's very good (even if Blankets stays my fav. to me...one of the best books i've read in this medium).

have you pick up the lates book of Hellboy: the island (mini. of 2 issues)?!
