I've been talking with friends recently (yesterday) and we were discussing comics that we like. Some people only read webcomics, come people only read physical comics. Most of us read a mixture of both. Anyway, some great suggestions were made and I was thinking we should share too! Here are some of the comics I like:

My uncle is/was actually a rabid comic collector. On a family vacation they made a special stop for him to purchase an original issue of the first Amazing Spiderman. Pretty neat, if you ask me.
Haha, just kidding. I've only met him a few times. But he sounds like a super-nerd. Her family was into super-heroes, and they liked UltraMan, Speed Racer, etc. So I guess I come by it honestly. (I REALLY love superheroes. I enjoyed the Cape so much more than I thought I was going to, it should probably be illegal. YAAAY The Cape!!)
Yeah. Actually, Popeye was originally a newspaper comic. And it was originally not about Popeye. Castor Oyl was taking his Whiffle Hen to a deadly gambling island so he could use its good luck to become filthy rich. Popeye was the unfortunate soul who captained the creaking tub they set sail aboard. But he was so cool, he became the main character. (A stowaway badguy shot him, he dropped... And then he got back up and tried to fight him. Got shot again, like eight times. Got back up and totally nailed the guy. No spinach needed.)
But whoa, Popeye is hardcore man.
Re: Popeye: I know, man. I know. Kinda reminds me of a slapstick Ashitaka. (The spinach thing started because Popeye has a soft spot for kids. One day, he was talking to some and they wanted to know why he was so strong and he said it's because he ate his spinach like his mom told him to. Trying to be a role model. It was later turned into a kind of magic pill by the cartoons, but the real story is that Popeye is just that awesome. Just sayin'.)
