Yeah all the time! Collect them every 2 weeks when they're released. Been reading and collecting them since 02 when I was around 5 or 6. I pick up all titles across Marvel and DC.

The New 52 collection of Swamp Thing was fantastic, as is Alan Moore's portrayal. Swamp Thing for me, as much as I enjoy Batman/Joker, Swamp Thing has something completely different to offer that I can't quite put my finger on, but I highly recommend it, if you are easying in, I'd recommend the New 52 of ST first, and then Alan Moore, if you find yourself enjoying what you're reading.

Watchmen was also one of my favourite's growing up!

Sometimes, but not massively so. I mostly own the New 52 Batman and Suicide Squad comics. I own a few older batman titles such as a death in the family and hush. I have a couple of Iron Man comics, some Rick and Morty ones, and then the first compendium of The Walking Dead.

I wiki comicbooks / read spoilers, but havent really purchased any minus goblin nation 1st editions, edge of spiderverse 1st and 3rd prints (including edge of spiderverse 2, which is the debut of spider-gwen), the variant of the debut of Silk, a few spider-gwens from the original run (whcih I am debating whether or not to sell now or wait) and some doomsday clock alternate covers (stopped collecting after issue 3). Im personally still kicking myself over not getting the captain marvel issue which had the debut of Kamala in costume & getting planet hulk when I was in high school /sixth form :|

EDIT- the only manga I still read tbh is attack on titan but thats ending fairly soon and tbh it doesnt interest me that much

I think my Dad had a couple of boooks and a tray with Beano on them

Isn't Dennis the Menace one of the characters?

I have a collection of 200 and something, but I don't actively read anymore because it was too expensive.

Not really in presence, but in the past a lot. Most of them were Franco-Belgian comics as in Lucky Luke, Asterix and Obelix and Tintin. Still own the great part of this collection.

If I am reading any comics, they are mangas.

I used to read Commando comics, but the WHSmith I got them at stopped getting them regularly and I stopped having enough money.

I don't like the new Marvel comics. So, I tend to read the old storylines Marvel made. I stay up to date with DC.

from what I have seen (on reviews / wiki) and read, Id say my personal fav. marvel series in the 2010s was the original run of superior spider-man.

Graphic novels, not comics which is essentially the same thing, only larger volumes.

I like mainstream comics - Batman, Green Lantern, Superman, etc. So mainly DC but some Marvel when I'm in the mood (X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man).

I've read some non-superhero GNs (Craig Thompson novels in particular) which are cool but not my cup of tea.
