    So I read a lot of comics, and I was wondering if anyone else on this site reads them too (and what kind you read).
    I mostly read non-superhero comics, I like things with strong female protagonists and good LGBT representation.

    DC or Marvel?
    I read a little bit of DC, but basically no Marvel.

    Almost all DC. I'm not a big fan of Marvel.

    I love comics!!! I'm all over the place, lots of superhero stuff but mostly anything that is well written and has a good story. I'm a big fan of writers Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Jeff Lemire, Brian Michael Bendis, Grant Morrison among others.

    I like to read both Marvel and DC. I feel like I should read more image comics though...
    But I do sway more to DC because Batman (especially the late nineties, early 2000s run with Grant Morrison) is my favourite. And Nightwing. The characters I have the most comics for are probably them along with Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) and from Marvel, Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze).

    The only superhero comics I'm reading at the moment are Batwoman (my favorite superhero), Injustice, and Gotham Central (probably not technically a superhero comic, but it's set in Gotham).

    I dig comics. I have almost all of the Civil War and World War Hulk comics.

    I do have all the Hellboy compilations and two or three novels.

    Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed.

    The Rat Queens is fantastic. Though a bit more for adults as they swear a lot and its gory in spots.

    Volumes 1-6 of the Aliens Omnibus

    Bunch of Transformers from IDW. Which are all better than that crap Michal Bay put on screen.

    A Transformers GI Joe cross over. A Terminator VS Aliens VS Predator and Batman VS Predator.

    For LGBT, I would recommend Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic. Very well drawn and written and not raunchy. It is focused a bit more on bondage than just the lesbian relationship.

    Probably 50 - 60 issues of Heavy Metal, which is definitely not for those under 18

    Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman was a great read for me and did the character justice!
    Iron Fist The Living Weapon is also one of my favorites

    I'll second Shorthaul's suggestions of Rat Queens, and Sunstone, they're both awesome books and I'd highly recommend them.
    Some other good LGBT+ comics are...

    The Infinite Loop, and Welcome Back. Both Sci Fi lesbian romance stories.

    Fun Home, and Are You My Mother? Are two autobiographical graphic novels by the lesbian cartoonist Alison Bechdel.

    And Kim&kim. A kinda punk-rock Sci Fi story about two inter-dimensional bounty hunters, one of them a trans-woman the other a bisexual woman.

    I'm not a major comic-reader, but I do enjoy some graphic novels, like the Scott Pilgrim series and some work by Alan Moore and Daniel Clowes. I'm so preoccupied with reading pictureless novels that I forget about the graphic variety :slight_smile:

    I used to love comics but haven't really read any in years. My favorites were Simpson's and Wildcats. For those unfamiliar with Wildcats it's kinda like Xmen with a twist. Instead of mutants they're aliens, androids and daemons called daemonites.

    BTW, I know people think I spell daemon wrong/weird.

    I've never been into reading comics, but I do enjoy TV shows and movies based on the comics.
