Read all the comics!

I've been an on-again, off-again comic book fan for years. I started off as a huge fan of The Avengers when I was in Middle School. I stopped reading comics in High School, but [livejournal.com profile] taraljc dragged me back in when she forced me and my roommate N. to borrow and read her Watchmen and Sandman collections during our Freshman year at U of I. I spent the next decade collecting comics (especially the Vertigo titles), going to cons, and buying tons of merchandise. Around the time Caitlin was born, I lost interest. Not to mention, the comic book hobby was simply too expensive for our household. By 2005, [livejournal.com profile] rarelylynne had convinced me to donate my entire collection to NIU (she's good at that).

In the last couple of months, I've been burning out on reading prose (I blame my writing). After hanging out with some comic book pros, the bug returned. The plus about reading comics in 2010 is that my public library is fully stocked with collections. So, I've been on a tear while Cait has been watching her PBS Kids shows and Disney DVDs.

I know that a few of you are comic book fans. I would appreciate some recommendations (especially by female creators). Also, feel free to start a conversation with me about any of the things I've read this year. :-)

So many comics... )
