What got you into comics?

eclipso comics that i used to read in the library when i was like 8

Todd Mcfarlane's Amazing Spider-Man run back in the late 80's when I was a kid...the rest is history for me....He's still my favorite Spidey artist

My mom used to buy me comics back in the 90s, the ones based on batman tas. i grew up and stopped reading comics for a long time

Years later, during the time the dark knight was in theaters i was walking down the street and i saw this:

So i was like "oh, what the hell" and i bought it for old times' sake. before i knew i was hooked to batman, and recently ive started to read other characters as well

New 52 and digital got me into comics since we don't have any proper comic-book store in our country. Got hooked with the beautiful art of Justice League 1 which i spotted at a random website and decided to check it out since i'm really a fan of Batman on the big screen and would like to see how he interacted with characters i thought were ridiculous like Superman. Turned out it was a great read and i now a year later i'm a big fan of characters like superman and green lantern. I wish marvel would do sort of a reboot so I could get into their comics as well because it's really hard for new readers like me to get into the universe otherwise. Might be checking out Marvel now but as far as i have seen the titles don't look too interesting and it looks like it pay of to be a longtime reader to fully understand them.

Also, my first post here, have been lurking for comic news for a while and decided to join the discussion!

My parents. My mother was an avid collector and my father was a casual reader. They saw how well I could draw and introduced me to Marvel, and I hated them ever since. It was originally about Wolverine when he wasn't a putz.

Welcome to the vine!

I have to say it was a copy of Shazam?Captain Marvel -Dc and Captain Marvel from Marvel comics when I was about 7yrs old. It was a profound moment for me, I was instantly drawn to the artwork because I was just gaining interest in drawing. The characters had identical names and the stories were down to earth, I remember this like yesterday and I thankful somebody was cared enough about me to bring comics into my life. I salute them.

My dad took me to a comic shop when I was around 7 or 8. I picked up an issue of the Flash , and the Amazing Spider-Man.

I Loved them both and continued to collect and explore other comics. I eventually grew older and lost interest in comics.

then i was lookin around on ebay one day about 6 months ago, and an old issue of Spectacular Spider-Man caught my eye. For some reason I felt i should buy it, so i did.

Now I love comics again.

Seriously i got hooked at reading comics after i watch a Teen Titans animated series in cartoon network and i easily fell in love with it, and that's when i start reading teen titans comic books. But probably my most favorite character up until now and what really drives me to collect comics seriously is Cassandra Cain (batgirl) because i really love her silent but deadly attitude.

Batman the animated series in the 90's. That followed with a love for superheroes lead me to my local comic book store at age 8. My dad brought me Ultimate Spider-man vol 1 and that is the first time I got into comics. But I didn't start collecting comics until the new 52.

A German print issue of Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu.

Well, I've got some Batman comics since I was young, this took me into the DC universe, I later started to read something about Spider-Man, then I read some Avengers stories, so I started to read Iron Man, later Thor and finally I entered the whole Comics Universe.

X-men: First Class

...this

Seeing Spiderman on The Electric Company…channel of coarse PBS! I was like 5 or 6…changed my life. Had a drug store in town that carried Spiderman and others. My parents spot me the 35 cents and the rest is history! Now I spend way to much trying to recapture that feeling I had as kid turning the pages!!!! Coach T

Spider-man via the Electric Company

Spider-man movies. As he was my favorite superhero I wanted to read some comics about him. I got hooked on on Amazing Spider-man comics on and off for a few years until I reached 400th. Then came the breaking point and Spider-man was no more my favorite superhero due to his high morals 'n stuff and never killing villains, which usually is reason for deaths of innocents. So now my favorite superhero's are Venom (Flash Thompson) and Scarlet Spider (Kaine).

My uncle giving them to me when I was a youngen and after that I was hooked, didn't hurt I thought I was superman well before I could read

Spider-Man TAS

@sinestro_GL: tin tin was the first comic i used to read. im gonna collect all the paperbacks soon

Watching marvel and dc animated shows got me to read superhero comics
