You know, you'd think I'd be really into comic books, since I like things like video games and cartoons. But I've never really gotten into them. I've tried a few times in my life, but they just didn't stick. It's too hard to get to a comic book store and if you want to keep up with a series, you have to keep buying them and the money can add up.
The closest I've gotten to being into comic books was when I was a kid and learned that the DuckTales cartoon was based off of old Uncle Scrooge comics by Carl Barks. Then for a while I bought some reprints of old Uncle Scrooge comics to learn more about them. As well as other Disney Afternoon cartoons turned comics, because I really liked them, too.
Most of my knowledge of comic book characters from Marvel or DC usually only comes from the movies, LEGO games, and Marvel vs. Capcom titles. Heck, the only reason why I said She-Hulk was my favorite Marvel character is because I thought she was cool in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Before then I didn't even know there was such a thing as She Hulk!
What's strange is that even though I never really got into comic books, I have a strong interest in newspaper comic strips. Always have really, ever since I was a kid. I love learning about old coimic strips from the early 1900's like Little Nemo in Slumberland, and I've always liked reading newspaper comics like Peanuts, Garfield, Dilbert, and Calvin & Hobbes. I really miss newspaper comic strips.
