Almost on a daily basis.
My wife (MJ) and I are huge fans of "Justice League", "Superman", and "Aquaman."
However, MJ was fiend for anything "Deadpool", "Doctor Strange", and "Doctor Fate" when I met her and still continues to this day; she is over the moon that her favorite characters are getting their own films.

I'm also a reader of comics, life has me behind on them right now though.
The only things I'm currently keeping up with are all the various Star Wars stories and Radioactive Spider Gwen.

Archie Andrews and Friends. Some Star Wars and Dr. Who. Generally I don't like the style and drawing of most of the animators out there. Liking the simple clean lines of the older comics that didn't need to draw your attention into multi- sized frames to follow the story.

Lots of people really didn't like Spider-Gwen but I loved her! I really likes Thor Girl as well. However I am a huge DC fan and always have been. Almost on a daily basis.

You should definitely check out the new 52 reboot! They have released some great new titles! The current run on most of the mainstream heroes is really good! Captain Atom is an amazing Comic Book, it really shows you a version of Captain Atom that is only really grasping the full extent of his powers. Suicide Squad is good, however if you are looking for a villain/hero book where the characters are dancing between the lines of villainy and heroics, I would suggest Red Hood and Arsenal. There is currently two elseworld stories of the two biggest heroes in DC going on at the moment known as; Batman Europa and Superman: American Alien. Both are really good, I mean really good. The artwork is different per issue but so far no complaints from me. I also suggest Scott Snyders Superman Unchained and also Batman: Black Mirror it is hauntingly great at giving the reader a glimpse at the events leading up to A Death in The Family. also MJ...Mary Jane...are you Peter Parker?

Greg Capullo is an incredible artist! I do suggest checking his artwork on the current Batman run! |

New 52 Aquaman is what got my wife into the new 52. Unfortunately, I am not Peter Parker, however my wife did legally change her name when we got married so that her initials would be MJ; her grandmothers middle name was Joan, so her name now reads Megan Joan.  |

I started collecting in 92' when I was 9. My town didn't have a comic shop so Wal-Mart or the Grocery Store is where I got my issues. My local book store didn't carry many at the time because the manger hate comic books and refused to keep them in stock. I missed out on the initial run of Death of Superman because of that. But a few years later a New manager took over and comics were now a main stay in the store. My collection now stands around 1000 comics. But very few modern. IMO there aren't really a lot worth reading right now. I do keep up to date on Star Wars as it is all canon now and I want to know whats happening. I have been following the Masters of the Universe series as well. A new on that caught my eye is Lois and Clark. The premise is the Pre-Flashpoint Superman and Lois are living in secret in the New 52 universe with their son.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on the "ions worth reading" thing  |
