I still have a few open questions from the December meme. One from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
snickfic: I would like something about a favorite comic of yours, please.
Picking one is hard, so you get a brief history of me reading comics instead.
I wouldn't call myself a comics fan in anything but the widest sense. Growing up the first comics I loved Asterix comics, and then in highschool, thanks initially to a friend's recommendations and loans, I read manga: almost all of Dragonball, about half of Shaman King, and I started One Piece, which I still read. Wow, it's been that long.
Other than OP I barely read any comics for a long time, at least not regularly. They didn't have them at the local library, so I read books instead. There were a few exceptions, of course, like Watchmen and Hägar.
I don't remember when I started reading webcomics, it was a couple of years ago. Stand-alone comics like xkcd and SMBC, and serial comics like Gunnerkrigg Court and Homestuck and Girl Genius and Nimona. For a while I read several manhwa, like Noblesse and Tower of God. Currently the only serial webcomics I'm reading are The Young Protectors and Check, Please. I keep meaning to read Kismet, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Last year was the first time I read Marvel comics. Originally I was inspired by the movies and subsequently by other fans to take a look, but I started with Young Avengers. I enjoyed it a lot, but haven't read much else. (Civil War, Hawkeye, and DC's Superman: Red Son, mostly.) I would have if I had unlimited time and money for reading, but alas… I have a list of non-web-comics that I want to read that includes for example Captain Marvel, Agent of Asgard, Birds of Prey, Rat Queens, and Fullmetal Alchemist (still undecided if I want to read or watch.) I also follow![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
