I'm not a fan of the Spider-Man comic books. I find it boring to read. But I love the Spider Man movies. How about you?

They said the actor from Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief was rumored to be the next Spiderman, he will be replacing Tobey Maguire.

I read somewhere that Tobey already signed up for Spider Man 4. But shoudl Percy do Spidey, there might be a risk that what continued to be blockbusters might get busted this time, don't you think?

I don't like any of the Marvel comic books, though I tried to get into their Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow series. I got up to Vol 3 of 5 of the Battle School and Command School, but that was enough for me. Maybe if they put the completed series in a single work, but I doubt it. The book by Orson Scott Card is much better. So yes, the Spiderman movie series is top rate, and I also liked Iron Man, and hope that Iron 2 Man doesn't disappoint me. I didn't see all the Batman series, but the last one I did see (the last Heath Ledger movie) I also liked. Now I do like comic books, but I usually get the ones from independent shops, and on occasion something from Vertigo or Dark Horse looks interesting enough to acquire.

I agree that Iron Man was tops. I like only the last two Batman movies (Batman Begins and Dark Knight). What I kept on wondering was the irony between these two comic book companies, as far as my taste, and apparently yours, is concerned. DC obviously have great comic books but seems to have problems with their hero movies--past Batman movies and even its latest Superman Returns. Marvel is not that good in their books but gives out box office hits for its movies--Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man. And it is reasonable to believe that the writings in their respective comic books found its way into the movies. Mind-boggling.

I'm not a big fan of comic books themselves. Or graphic novels. I just don't particularly enjoy them. That's not because I don't like the characters, the ideas or whatever. I enjoy seeing them as films, television programmes or reading them as proper books. It's just that comics themselves seem to combine the worst aspects of both - there aren't enough words and the pictures don't move.
