Probably since I was 4 or 5
I kept reading up till about 5th grade, then in high school I picked up some stuff like Sandman that got me into comics again, but it wasn't till I read Animal Man that I started to like superheroes again

Specifically, Morrison's Batman and Robin.

13. I read Spider-Man and Deadpool all throughouth highschool, and when One More Day happened I got so mad I didn't read comics for a few years. Got back into it in college and now it's my main hobby.

After my hiatus was over, maybe 7 or 8 years.
>How much money do you spend a month on comics?
Somewhere between $100-200. Depends on what's out.

Batman Year One. My copy is falling apart I've read it so much.

I started pretty young, though I can't remember when I learned to read, I imagine I would enjoy the drawings.

I've been reading since then, tastes changing but never stopping. I got into American superhero comics after I saw Linkara, so sometime in 2007 or so I'd imagine.

Varies. Nowadays I usually buy from Comixoligy, and if there's a sale I'll binge but otherwise not.

Not sure what my favorite comic would be... I suppose in terms of comicbook it'd the Swedish Donald Duck.

read Marvel as a kid (spider,Xmen) but eventually lost interest, figured western comics were dead to me
couple of months ago I watched the old Justice League cartoon and decided to read a couple DC comics. I've been reading non-stop since then pretty much exclusively back issues

I read online but when I have money I'll swing by the local comic shop and throw some cash at them to support DC generally between 20-30 bucks
so far the best thing I've read was Martian Manhunter 1998 by John Ostrander

Technically at like age 5 with Archie Comics. I read those until about 12, then I only read books until 18, then I got into comics proper. Still love Archie though. I'm 25 now.
>How much money do you spend a month on comics?
Way too much.
>What is your favorite comic?
Probably All Star Superman, but Fullmetal Alchemist and Walter Simonson's run on Thor are in contention.

>How old were you when you started reading comics?

I started reading stuff from my dad's collection of Franco-Belgian comics when I was about 4 (mostly Spirou, not that I understod any of the sex jokes at the time). I think I got into Bamse and Donald Duck around the same time. Didn't start reading American comics until I was like 14 because that's when I realised that you could pirate them.

>How long have you been reading comics?

I'm 21, so 15-ish years.

>How much money do you spend a month on comics?

It really depends. I spent like $6 this month and $60+ last month, which is a significant part of my disposable income right now.

>What is your favorite comic?

Legion of Super-Heroes, if we're talking overall. Current ongoing is probably Wrong Earth, Beasts of Burden or Runaways.

>How much money do you spend a month on comics?
Too much. $20-30 a week.
>What is your favorite comic?
My favorite single issue ever is probably Flash v2 91 by Waid/Wiring. Favorite story ever is probably Avengers Forever. Those are both capeshit, so I feel compelled to announce my appreciation for Love & Rockets and Hicksville for street cred.
Recently I've been on a Superman kick. I'm focusing on in-continuity books from the late 80's/early 90's by Ordway, Stern, Jurgens. I'm convinced the period from post-Crisis to the Image founders leaving Big 2 is the best period of capeshit.

No one thing is really that favorite. I've re-read All Star Superman the most, but it would more likely be top 5 than my favorite.

First time to read a comic ever? Not a clue probably 2nd or third grade from a stack of them next to kids books.
First time to buy a comic? When I was like 10 or 12 and bought one at a news stand in an airport cause "Hey I've got $2 to spend on a random issue of Superboy".

When I got into comics for real?
18 when I had some spending money and was about to go to college. I bought GL Rebirth cause hey GLs seemed cool in the DCAU, and two Batman trades (Joker's Asylum and Long Halloween cause it was a good size for price).
Ended up enjoying them all and about a year later I learned on /co/ current DC reading order and got into main continuity and by then I was hooked.

>How old were you when you started reading comics?
Seven years old when I learned to read. Before that I just looked at the pictures.
>How long have you been reading comics?
25 years. First two capeshit comics I remember reading were the Spider-man's Return of the Sinister Six and Larra Hama's Wolverine where he goes visit the old Weapon X building or something and fights the Shiva robot. Shit was dope.
>How much money do you spend a month on comics?
Easily 20-100 euros. I buy both digital and print trades, so when there's a good sale on Comixology I could easily spent 20-30 euros in one week alone. I buy so much shit in print that I have a gigantic to-read pile on my nightstand, and my Comixology list is equally enormous.
>What is your favorite comic?
I don't really do favorites because it's impossible to quantify and I would be changing my mind all the time. I don't really do much re-reading anyway unless I get something in print (and even then it might take me years to actually get around reading it), because I concentrate on just reading new stuff. Something like All-Star Superman is ever green. I also like shit like Daytripper and Jonah Hex. I want to collect all of Modesty Blaise one day but so much of the older Titan collections seem to be out of print so it's a bitch.

Quoted By:

I was gifted with a stack of my babysitter's brothers comics when I was five years old, mostly garbage titles from the 80s but I fell in love with the medium and started buying value packs of X-Men comics from Toys R Us. Became utterly obsessed with the line, to the point where I now own nearly every X-Men comic written post-Roy Thomas.

Favorite comic is Moonshadow, Enigma or Cerebus depending on the mood. I drop maybe $50 on comics a month, but I've been living in Japan for the past five years so I mostly just pick up whatever random tpb I can find in the used book stores I regularly haunt. It's basically impossible to build up a good collection when your entire apartment is smaller than the room you rented when you were a university student.

Generally, I was reading Asterix since I can remember. I started reading Capes with Ultimate Marvel, around 2003 or 2005, so at about 6 or 8 or so.
>How long have you been reading comics?
Well, dunno, depends on when I started, so let's just say 15 years to be sure.
>How much money do you spend a month on comics?
Nowadays ? About 30 to 40 euros. It was around 60 or even 90 a few years back. Nowadays I mostly download stuff, but I'm too bored to read them. Honestly, I'll probably drop this useless hobby. Way too much money wasted on cyclical stories that push degenerate agendas. And worse is, that wasted time is never coming back. I'll be damned if I waste even more on them.
>What is your favorite comic?
Honestly ? Nothing. Looking back, they'll all tackle the same issues. Always about the fags, and the nigs. You can't even read Doctor Strange without gettign a story about "muh ebil Yuros who opressed muh peaceful nigs". Fuck them. Fuck this hobby. I curse the day I started buying this shit. With all that said, if I had to choose one, I'd go with Grendel.
