OKay. Fine. Fine. I give!

Hey, comic people on my friendslist? Anyone want to give a girl some pointers on how to get into this fandom? You know what kind of thing I like, I'm assuming, and I've sporadically read X-Men in the past, so I at least know who the players are, there. Well, sort of.

ETA: If it helps, from reading scans_daily, I seem to be developing an odd affection for this Bart fellow. Hm.

I wish I could remember how I started reading comics. I think I started with the current Teen Titans run and then went back and read New Teen Titans in bittorrent form (It's nearly 200 issues, so I wouldn't suggest buying it if you can help it); after a lot of time confused, things started making sense.

I am fond of American comics in a way for two reasons:
1) It's kind of like fanfic, in a way. A bunch of different writers working with characters they most likely didn't create. It's interesting.
2) While the intertwining plots is a bitch to read because you have to buy so many different issues, it's also fun because the whole universe is so entwined.

Oh, I definitely see the appeal, I just ... I'm not used to it, is all. European comics tend to be much more ... stories in graphic format. Graphic novels proper, so to speak. I'm gonna take some adjusting to get used to this, is all.
