--- Quote from: Bootay on April 12, 2012, 05:40:11 pm ---I was a huge fan and collector in the 80s/90s. Haven't really read anything regularly since about 98. I did read all of The Walking Dead and Marvel Civil War recently. I enjoyed both. I think that the art and especially the stories have gone downhill for the most part in a lot of the regular series in both Marvel and DC. I stopped collecting regularly shortly after the Spider-Man Clone Saga. Now I strictly read the hardcover graphic novel collections. But I find myself buying the collections of old books more than current stuff. Like Marvel Masterworks and DC Archives.

I was mostly a Marvel guy but I did enjoy Batman and other occasional DC books. I still have all of my comics...about 6 long boxes full all of them bagged and backed too in great condition. I have been thinking about selling them because I really haven't even looked at them in 10 years. I have a crap ton of Spider-Man, X-Men, X-Factor, Avengers, West Coast Avengers, Spawn, Punisher, Captain America, Daredevil...the list goes on ..too many to name. Actually...I have a few from the Death of Superman era...I couldn't follow that story, it was kind of lame. And I remember everyone freaking out over that too saying it was going to be worth money. I knew it wouldn't be. The only ones worth any real money are the ones from WWII era and older. Ones from the 50s-80s can be worth something depending on what it is. But anything from the 90s on up aren't worth crap. Cover price usually. If you're lucky it might be worth $1-2 over cover price. I never collected them because they were worth something though. I liked the stories, and still do.

Haha holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- Bootay, thats EXACTLY how I felt, and I have the same books, same everything. Thats awesome!  :cheers:

I hope they NEVER go an all digital route, that would be stupid. "Hey check out my comic collection, its on this flash drive". There will always be a comic book, there has to be. I want something tangible in my hand, I like to read print, and visit comic shops to peruse the books, and talk to people about the comics. I dont like the way the world is heading...  :-\

A) I have no problems with comics being available digitally, but I join the hope that they don't go 100%.  I've read some comics digitally, and it's alright, but much rather prefer in issue/graphic novel format.

B) Record stores aren't dead, and neither is vinyl: http://jasonkeath.com/vinyl-album-sales-are-up-25-in-2011/

I just got a new record player this chrismas, which happily features a cassette player as well.  Woot!

Bootay:
I also prefer reading the real books, but reading digitally isn't too bad if you have an iPad or something. I read all of The Walking Dead on a tablet and I thought it was alright. I still prefer to hold a book though...and I must confess, I like the smell of comic books.  No idea why. :)

Donkbaca:
I prefer reading on a tablet, its just so much more convenient, and if I go on a trip, I can load up my iPad with a bunch of books to read, whereas if I brought like 20 comics with me I would feel like a tool.  People see a guy in his early 30's that is dressed business casual, messing with an iPad and they think he is doing something important.  They say a guy in his early 30's reading a stack of comics, well...
