I have always loved comic books and still do to this day. I loved the spider-man comics the most growing up though. The fantastic 4 was second best though and love the movie more.

How do you think the movies compare to the comic books? I've never read Spiderman fan but I have read a lot of Batman comic books and I think that Batman Begins with Christian Bale is the best Batman movie ever and really holds true to the comic books.

What don't you like about comics? I know some people have a hard time reading them because it doesn't always flow left to right and the panel structure can change page to page. I honestly had a hard time at first until I learned how to read a comic book.

I started reading comic books as a child and still love reading them. There are so many kinds, you can always find some you like. I think any reading helps encourage more reading. I know reading Classics Illustrated comics led me to read the original books. I have a friend who taught himself to read at age 4 by trying to read the Sunday comics.
Also, comic books are now a hot collectable market. I had two crates of comics in 1971 when I got married. My spouse said they were not something for a grown married person to have and I ended up loaning them to a friend. After a while he gave them to a couple that wanted them. They had the collection evaluated and they were told it was worth $5000 USD, and that was in 1975! Now I'm told It's worth over $2500 USD!

I think that is awesome that you know people that were prompted to read because of comics. I completely disagree that comic books aren't something for a grown married person. Reading is not age specific. There are comic books for young children and there are comic books for mature adults with adult type material.
Collecting comic books for the value, today, though, is not sucha a valid hobby anymore because the comic books are massed produced and so many people ARE trying to make money off of them.

I think that if you can get kids to read anything, that's great. Comic books can often be a jump start to other kinds of literature, but they are really good in their own rights. There are a lot of elements of classical literature embedded in comic books, especially the really good ones.

I think any reading material is good for kids. Anything that will make a child read is a plus. I started reading comics when I was 7 years old. It made me want to read everything. I used to deliver papers in my neighborhood and when I got money that what it went to...comic books. I would ride my bike and read comic books at the same time. I now read constantly. Not comic books so much. Boy have they gotten exxpensive. But I read 2 to 3 books a week. I love to read and put it down to reading comics.
