Subject Number 2 Comic Books

Is reading,collecting,being a fanboy of comics,comic books make you into the the Big bang theory guys? Has Hollywood,taking the comic books and churning them into block busters made Comics Cool? 

What do you say to Comic books? are they cool?

[Buddhagirl]

I think you should add another choice that is just "meh". I honestly have no feeling either way on comic books.

[bsfins]

I'm the same way.....I have no feelings about Comic books....But if someone says..."Hey I'm a big comics book guy" is it cool? un cool?

[Dave Gray]

Is pretty cool MORE than cool?

[bsfins]

yes

[Sunstroke]

I went with "pretty cool" on this one...because comic books ARE pretty damned cool. They also spawn some of the best movies, so that should be taken into consideration.

[Dave Gray]

I have started to really enjoy comics.  I voted Super Cool, though they are probably not "cool" so much as an interesting medium.  What I've found with comics is that most non-readers only think of Superman, Batman, etc -- but there are real stories and dramas and all kinds of other stuff that uses that medium to tell stories.  Actually, most of my favorite stuff right now isn't "capes and cowls".

I think I would still be "meh" on it. Hmm...

To understand if comic books are cool in any way, all you have to do is drive to the closest comic book convention and view the people who attend. You don't even have to pay the entrance fee, juust stand at the door and watch and listen.

^^^ You could say that about "almost any" convention out there...regardless of theme. Conventions draw the extreme among the followers of the theme.

Also... "Cool" is the blue ribbon baby among "relative terms."

I don't think it's fair to judge something solely by its hardest-core fans.

Trust me, I've been to some Dolphins functions with the biggest geeks I've ever met.  That's not to say the Dolphins are un-cool.

HMMMM where to begin. I collect comics nad I have for the better part of twenty years. I have also been to ComiCon in San Diego which is the place for all things comic related. While you do see some hard core geeks at comicon, there are also some really cool people. I met Seth Green at his Robot Chicken booth and various other celebrities throught the weekend. I also saw some very attractive women dressed up as their favorite cartoon/movie/comic characters etc.
I would equate the fans at Comicon to the hardcore football fans who dress up in extravagent regalia to show their loyalty to their team while attending games.

Bump, only because I want Lil B to continue this Cool Wall thing he used to do.  I enjoyed it.

Does the fact only geeks do it make it uncool? I wouldn't think so. Then you could only judge something by the fact only the popular people would do.

I know people who are hooked on the Walking Dead comics ( as well as his other wrtitings)  now and have never read a comic previously. These people have never been to a Comic-con and would seem like the in crowd to most. This just means to me that comics must be cool even though most of us have not been exposed to it. Chances are most of us could get hooked if we gave it a try so I'd say yes.

[Buddhagirl]

Me too. It drove conversation and was interesting to see different opinions.
