Celebrities that are huge comic-book fans?

Does anyone know any celebrities that are big comic-fans? I'm bringing this up because I literally just learned that Nicholas Cage added 'Cage' to his professional name because of Luke Cage... I couldn't believe I only learned it now so I started looking at other celebrities and learned that Loan Gruffudd is a longtime FF reader (of course, but still), guys like Patton Oswalt and Karl Urban are big nerds too...

From my perspective, however dumb, I get really surprised to hear certain celebrities who are geeks. Sometimes I find it foreign because I've heard how Henry Cavill and Mila Kunis are World of Warcraft nerds but they never go in-depth when asked about the damn game...

Anyway, as the title says.

Vin Diesel I heard was one of them.

Henry Cavill enjoyed Death of Superman apparently.

Eminem likes comics.

um Simon Pegg

Ryan Reynolds
Ben Affleck
Ari from Entourage

SAMUEL MOTHA F****** JACKSON!!!!

Stan Lee

Gene Simmons loves superheroes and comic books. that's why he dresses up like what he does.

CM Punk

@deadpool_is_better_than_you: lol at Stan Lee

Jonathon Ross has an insane comic book collection. The only other celebrity I can think of is Nick Frost

Eminem, Esoteric, certain members of the Wu-Tang, Michael Chiklis is a huge FF fan, Gerard Way, Jerry Seinfeld likes Supes a lot, I know Affleck's actually a bit of a comic fan and liked DD, I know Ne-Yo likes anime/manga.

It's fairly well known by now but Elvis Presley was a big Captain Marvel Jr. fan.

Does Kevin Smith count?

@xwraith: I. Was gonna say that.

@allstarsuperman: I wasn't sure if I should say him, because he's actually written comics.

Archer is a huge X-Men fan......

Rob Van Dam

Kanye West is a manga fan

Nicolas Cage named his son Kal-El

Apparently Eminem's comic book collection is insane. He wanted to be an artist when he was young, he draws a pretty good Spider-Man.

Ben Affleck, I think.

Elvis Presley loved Shazam

A lot of CBM actors read a lot of comic books to get to know their characters, like Hugh Jackman or Andrew Garfield.

Eminem

Why wouldn't he?

Pete Holmes.
Patton Oswalt
Mark Hamill
Seth Green

Freddie prinze jr is a HUGE comic book fan, so is Howard Stern

@comedy_brosusa: I heard he got his stage look from Black Bolt. You can really see the similarity in the wings and color scheme.

Eminem is a big one

I actually didn't know Nick Cage based his stage name off of Luke Cage, that's pretty awesome.

I wish I knew what other celebrities were comic fans but the ones I know were already said.

Allegedly he owns Amazing fantasy number one. Makes you think how have bought those expensive comics the last couple of years.

Jerry 'The King' Lawler a huge Superman fan , he collects his merchandise & all comics then AJ Lee , Mark Hamill , Megan Fox , Barack Obama , Bruce Campbell , Jamie Alexander , Patrick Stewart, Thomas Jane , Cody Rhodes , Matt Hardy, Robin Williams are some i can remember

Yeah, and I heard that when he was a kid, he would buy a couple copies of each comic, knowing they'd be worth something later on.

Marvelwikia;

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has stated that the second part of his band's hit song "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" is about the Punisher.

Megadeths first album Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good was also a reference to the Punisher, being that the title track of the album was based on early Punisher comics

A lot of wrestlers are comic book fans. CM Punk, AJ Lee, Cody Rhodes, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Kazarian, and I also believe Samoa Joe and Homicide are to name a few. I'm not surprised really when wrestling is one of the closest things you can get to real life comics, though.

True that.

Sebastian Bach

@comedy_brosusa: That certainly sounds like Gene Simmons. Always thinking about making money.

yep.Did you hear he patented the $ sign?

@batmannflash: Nicholas Cage chose that name because of Luke Cage.

Gene Simmons is a huge Black Bolt fan.

Cm Punk

Vin diesel is a nerd and plays D & D but I'm not sure if he is into comics

I know that.

@batmannflash: You didn't mention it. I'm not psychic.

Nick Cage also used to own Action Comics #1 but sold it a few years ago when he was going bankrupt

sorry, I hope I didn't sound rude. It's strange that Nicolas Cage never named his son "Luke" haha

It's also stated in the OP

all the cast of 'comic book villians' stated in interviews that they did they movie out of fandom : DJ Quals, Natasha Lyonne, Donal Logue, Michael Rapaport, Cary Elwes.

There are also lots more out there: Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance (he created Umbrella Academy), Rosario Dawson (pushed to be in Sin City she was such a fan), Seth Myers and Bill Hader from SNL are huge comic book "nerds", Seth Rogen, Shaquille O'neil (loves Superman..ha! seen the 'steel' movie anybody?), Kimbo Slice (MMA/UFC guy has stated he's a huge Like Cage fan)

and the list goes on and on and on......

@mitran: lol yup. I think it went for 3m. Detective Comics 1 is worth about the same. in good condition

in like absolute pristine mint condition (or whatever its classified) i think they're worth over 5.

@judasnixon: Huge might be a bit of an overstatement, he just says he reads them.

Pam is more likely a big fan of the X-men.

@squares:

@batmannflash: It is?! Sorry, I may have sounded like a $&£% there.

@judasnixon: Favourite joke in the series, hands down.

Megan Fox has said that she loves Witchblade, Gen13 and J. Scott Campbell's work
