I read mostly DC as well but dabble in Marvel, Indie, Image and such.

My current read list is GL, Final Crisis, Final Crisis Rogues Revenge, FInal Crisis LEGION, JSA, X-Factor, Thunderbolts, War Heroes, Booster Gold, Secret Six, Manhunter, Transformers All Hail Megatron, Checkmate and Ex Machina. Shadowpact used to be here till they got canned.

Recently dropped Flash (waiting for the new series), JLA, New Avengers, Blue Beetle, Titans, and Astonishing X-men.

Might pick up Squadron Supreme. Waiting for Flash Rebirth and the subsequent series.

I voted alittleathis, alittleathat but like Kat and others I read lots of everything.

Interesting to see that there’s not a lot of Manga readers here.

I think I’m more in line with Torsten’s thinking. As I commented at the poll site, I’m a comics omnivore. “alittleathis, alittleothat” doesn’t quite cut it for me. LOTS of EVERYTHING is more what I do.

Um… All of the above? Other? *sob* Feeling so lonely…

I read *GOOD* comics. I read *FREE* comics. I read prose books with a superhero theme (like Julie Kenner’s “Aphrodite” romances). I read stuff written for kids, for teens, for adults, for “adults”, and even stuff in other languages I can’t read! I even read graphic novels that aren’t considered graphic novels or comics, like David Macaulay’s “Black and White”, and MAD Magazine! Heck, if I’m really bored, I’ll jutxtapose two images next to each other and create a narrative! (Try that next time you’re at an art museum!)

I picked the option ‘Alittleathis, alittleathat’. It’s just more interesting to read a variety of different titles & genres instead of sticking to the same old thing over & over.

I’d probably feel guilty if I actually picked the Marvel or DC options, even if it was true. (They both put out a lot of comic books, I read a lot of comic books, it could end up embarrassing.) The suggested “I follow writers and artists” option is pretty sound, though.

Hmm… not sure if I should go for the plurality (DC) or just alittleothis, alittleofthat

I assume this is for Floridian readers only.

Omygod! Was that for real? I thought that was an example just for show!

I’m so embarrassed - I’ve got a hanging cyber chad!

I guess I am not that poll. The color combo/stars make it tough to read.
