I can say that I have become more of a fan of comics at around 18-19 than I did when I was younger. I don't read as much as before, but I still consider myself a reader and fan.

That's how I do all my comic reading now. I held off from switching to digital comics for awhile but with 2 toddlers in the house now it was pretty much a necessity.

Not like I use to. 90% of comic produced now are just not worth reading.

I've never bought a comic book in my life, but growing up I enjoyed TV shows, movies, and video games based on comics, particularly Batman and X-Men. I'm another that's like this, not just while growing up as I still like comic book movies and games today.

Yeah, but mostly Image Comics titles as they seem to have the best titles when its comes to the horror and sciFi. Image even got me hooked on a couple fantasy comic books, which is a genre that I flat out couldn't stand for the most part. I haven't read a proper MarvelDC superhero comic in ages though.

I read Graphic Novels as I can't be bothered to keep up with comics individually.

Yup. I read mainly Marvel titles, The Avengers and the various spin-off titles from that, eg, Captain America, Iron Man and Thor.

I used to read regularly but they've gotten way too expensive for me. £3-£4 for something that's (in Marvel's case by the time I stopped reading) 20% advertisements and takes 15 minutes to read isn't value for money.
I just read the Walking Dead now.

Been reading comics my whole life, I got my first comic when I was like 2 or 3.
These days I only read them digitally, and I mainly follow Image stuff and licensed comics. I do follow some of the more "fringe" books from Marvel and DC (stuff like Swamp Thing, Harley Quinn, She-Hulk, etc.) but those books never last long or have a big influence on Marvel or DC as a whole. And I can't follow the mainstream stuff because I'm sick of crossovers, and the endless cycle of "change a character, change them back, kill a character, bring them back, repeat." These days when it comes to superheroes I'm a huge fan of the movies and TV shows.

Not like I use to. 90% of comic produced now are just not worth reading. I would say the opposite, there is entirely too much worth reading right now. Everyone but DC is lighting it up, the indies and Marvel are killing. And when DC has good books they are really damned good. I just gave up on them.

I only read the odd comic book when I was a kid if I got them as a birthday or Christmas present. I didn't really start reading until I was in my mid-20's when I went into my local comic book store on record store day. Since then I have mainly just bought graphic novels because it's easier to keep track of. I tend to read Batman (Scott Snyder is doing some great shit) and the IDW version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Currently I'm reading TMNT Volumes 5-7 and then after that it's onto Batman Volume 5: Year Zero-Dark City and then Ronin by Frank Miller. For some reason this sounded really dirty in my mind when I read it. Like "Yeah, I read comics.....Digitally! "

Growing up I read a ton. Quit in the 90's when my disposable income was tight, would rather go out and hopefully get laid than sit at home reading comics. Now that I'm middle-aged married guy I started reading again but it's just trades and graphic novels, and a good amount of that just stuff I just checked-out at the library. I have like 2000 comics in my mom's basement I should try to sell.

Used to. But I'm a purist. So yeah, that guy when it comes to comics. I try not to be too vocal about it though. Just hate resurrections and undoing so many landmark moments that should've stood as is.
