Megan Fox talks comics!
Considering she is going to be popping up all over comic book movies for the next couple of years, it should come to no surprise to anyone that in a recent interview, MTV thought it a good idea to ask her if she actually reads any, and which are her favorites. To my surprise, when asked about her favorite artist and comic book she actually had an answer to the question that went beyond "I like Batman."
"Michael Turner, clearly. J. Scott Campbell. Those are my favorite artists, always and forever," Fox told MTV News.
"I grew up reading 'Gen 13,'" said Fox, who then went on to name-drop the first volume of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' groundbreaking crime noir series, "Criminal." "There's one called 'Coward'—that's not the same kind of comic, that's really dark. That's more like a 'Jonah Hex."
"'Midnight Nation' is super interesting," she added. "It's religious-based, not unlike 'Constantine.'"
Kudos to her for name dropping J. Scott Campbell and Michael Turner! Check out the short interview with MTV. How many of you think she memorized this before they got her in that chair? I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

I don't care how many of you people on the vine hate her she is just so f&%king hot it's insane, and that interview just got my wolverine boxers all bunched up . Wether you people like it or not she's gonna be here for a while so get used to her in the movies people.
Yeah. Wha-Eva. She rattled them off like she was recalling a grocery list.

I think it was memorized, but I think she still meant it. I don't think someone told her "okay, if they ask you about comics, say (this)".
i mean all actors do that they think what if they ask me this question? and just prepare themselves for an answer
Cool with the name drops but like everyone else said, it did sound memorized.

Well, within reason...
" @ryanwh said:Well not to say that she didn't read that stuff, but I'm inclined to believe she suddenly 'gained interest' after snagging a comic book movie role a month or so ago and went ahead and memorized some things she wouldn't have normally knowing questions like this would come up. Which is fine I guess, her fanbase is pretty nerdy and she's learning her stuff so she stays in touch." It does sound memorized, by maybe just just speaks like a robot all the time.

she still hasn't given me a reason she's hot and all but her acting in T2 was bad compared to T1..which was not that great either..and why did she do that to her lips D: her lips were fine before D:
another famous person promoting comic books, good whatever way it's sliced.
I think she probably meant it.... btw why do so many people seem to love hating the famous? O_o

She's not bad but there were probably a hundred better looking girls that I went to high school with. And as for her personality and acting "skills"... lol.
She probably asked her agent for some HOT tips and was prepared.
Now remember, she didn't say a specific issue, story or characters so....

It did seem memorized but she did mention some comics I've never heard of. And I've been collecting forever, but I suppose I'm too mainstream.

That was scripted. It sounded as though someone prompted her for it bc she didnt have any passion about it or raw enthusiasm that us REAL fans have.

" @ryanwh: Poor kid. lol! I think she did feel bad about that, though "I thought I read that they were gonna fly the kid out to meet her or something. I could be wrong.
