Someone just leant me watchmen and it blew me away. Any modern comics hold a candle to the mature smart storylines of that graphic novel? Where should i start?<br /><br />I will second Maus and Sandman, which have already been mentioned. I&#039;ll also bring up Fables, if you ever loved the REAL fairy tales (not the Disney ones). Good, long-running story arcs. In all honesty, check out a lot of the long-running series put out by Vertigo, which includes...

Then I&#039;d say Iron Man may be that new hero- not that he&#039;s a new character, but until the recent movie he wasn&#039;t really well...

Do you even have time to?<br /><br />I actually set aside about a half-hour to an hour a week to play and unwind a bit while my wife is still at work and I beat her home. The only way I have time to is to set it aside, and I do that to purposely do something not absolutely necessary- otherwise it&#039;s always work or cleaning or...

That being said, if I don&#039;t know at least the general idea of what&#039;s being said, I won&#039;t be able to stand it for the entire...

Unless it has silver foil on the cover (which I doubt; foil covers were more in the mid-90&#039;s), it&#039;s probably worth not a whole lot. It&#039;s a bit early for the speculator boom, which means it might...

I don&#039;t want my child to be responsible for being a carrier of some serious disease like Measles into a schoolroom...

One girl took me three years to get over. Another a couple of weeks. The difference? Experience. The first girl was my first love, and I was convinced I&#039;d never have another. Nothing could distract me from my depression. The other was my...

My wife never dated until college, so a teenage girl (assuming what you mean, since the questions was asked under &quot;Teenagers&quot;) can certainly do so. It may seem like everyone hooks up with someone, but it&#039;s not true. Just enjoy being who you are, and if someone looks...

That way it would be possible for many different Gods to coexist.<br /><br />According to this theory, then, there would still be only one God in charge of humanity, so there would only be one God to worship for us, at least until we got out into the universe. Good thought for a sci-fi story, though.

If I WASN&#039;T married- well, I have dated girls an inch or two taller than me and it hasn&#039;t bothered me. Basically, it would only bother me if it bothered the girl- as in, she&#039;d say &quot;I wish you were taller.&quot; Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:22:58 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3436963 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3436953 Its raining in England whats it doing where u live then<br /><br />In the Milwaukee area of the US it&#039;s bright and sunny, with a slight breeze.

I was just wondering if that was true and if any one knows when?<br /><br />At this point, I believe fifteen or sixteen issues are out. Check out a local comic book shop or dark horse comics online to order; if you want the series to continue, make sure to support it by buying it!

To make any relationship work takes work, which that statement seems (at least to me) to oppose; if we&#039;re going to meet the...

Is it state, local, or federal? I imagine it would be state, but could be wrong. If someone is passing an emergency vehicle when the lights are going, they should probably be shot. OK, maybe not that serious, but what they are doing is both stupid and wrong, IMO. ...

The book was so boring! It could be cut in half, THEN it would be good! It&#039;s so weird... Of Mice and Men is one of my favorite books, and it&#039;s from the same author!

And then she would kiss me for it. Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:11:08 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3335345 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3335338 I'm 17 and he's 21. I'm a virgin but he's not. Is that important?<br /><br />His lack of virginity is only important if he&#039;s using that as a way to get you to &quot;open up&quot; before you should. Or if he uses his past experiences as a kind of trophy. And in that case, dump him now, because if it&#039;s just a trophy-thing, he clearly doesn&#039;t care for you...

Do you lot just sit and think up stuff to ask?<br /><br />When I first joined, yeah, I actually spent time just thinking of things to ask. Now, if I ask a question, I either think it&#039;s witty (and people generally correct my misconception!) or it&#039;s something I honestly want to know. What time I spend on here, I spend answering questions....

Water as a whole doesn&#039;t expire simply because of the cycle it...

Best Buy? Probably only one of each if I can get past the crowds! Supermarket? Whatever I think I can use- I hate wasting food. Clothing? Probably whatever I can grab. There are plenty of friends I can share with. Actually, come to think of it, maybe I&#039;d just...

Why do so many people assume you will get divorced? What ever happened to the idea of getting married and being committed to the one person for life?<br /><br />I&#039;ve never been asked that- and my wife and I have been married for two and a half years now. And the idea, unfortunately, is no longer prevalent... which is a shame. Marriage should be for life, but people have screwed it up.

Personally, I&#039;d go with DC,simply because if they are going to switch things up, they make a big deal about it, and admit it. Marvel will say they&#039;ve never had to have a Crisis, but then they either ignore certain comics (such as ones that stated...

I worked in group homes for a number of years, and I&#039;ve known that many of the people I served in a variety of capacities, no matter the...

If you can handle the black and white, it&#039;s definitely worth it. You should be able to order them at any local comic shop. If there are none...

Never been a fan of either. In a fight, though, I&#039;d think it&#039;d be Jimmy, just because of the range of past superpowers, as opposed to Jones, who himself is pretty limited- you&#039;ve got his Hulk powers, and if he bangs the nega-bands...

The manga is good- though it&#039;s only three books. The OVA&#039;s were excellent, though I haven&#039;t seen the TV show.

Green Arrow eventually rebounded back into PG or PG-13 rating, while Swamp Thing became an anchor for the new Vertigo imprint of DC comics, which is aimed at &quot;mature...

Reports show that much crime is economic, and much of that can be prevented by ensuring that everyone has enough to live on. My question is ; Does Economics determine ethics?<br /><br />I&#039;d say no- though economics may well influence &quot;necessary crime&quot; in places that do not have any form of welfare. If economics determined ethics- as in, the poorer you were, the more you&#039;d commit crime- then corporate heads would be the most ethical people in the planet.

However, when it comes to any punishment, I would urge leniency, as long as the crime wasn&#039;t violent, and some sort of help to get past...

What do US taxpayers think about that?<br /><br />I think it&#039;s not that big a deal, as: 1) To my knowledge (I admit it may be wrong) religious institutions pay or donate the Bibles, not the government. 2) No one is forced to take them.

For instance, you could do it with Greek, but not Hebrew, since they print their vowels below their consonants, making it very hard to play Scrabble with it!

In the more modern series, though, no one has been revealed.

Should I do it to be nice, or is he just being an ass?<br /><br />What are your money situations, respectfully? As it stands, I&#039;d say ass. However, if you come from a family that&#039;s relatively well off, or even middle-class, and he has nothing- honestly, I&#039;d at least understand where he&#039;s coming from!

I don&#039;t want the funeral to point to me at all; I wouldn&#039;t be disturbed if my name wasn&#039;t even mentioned. I want it to point to...

Why have the two extremes at all? One very good way to accomplish both: &quot;Yes! I really liked X. I enjoyed this part, that part, and the other part. Why did you make the choice to do that part, though? It kinda confused me. If you fixed that, it would be even better!&quot; Tue, 20 May 2008 07:09:45 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3023321 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3022941 As an adult, which children's tv show would you watch if no one was looking (and their were no children around)?<br /><br />Gargoyles or Transformers: Beast Wars! Both actually had fun, longer storylines. And I own the former on DVD and am not afraid to admit it!

A willingness to stand up for what she believes in, but also a willingness to talk about it. Off: Looking only to please other people.

If yes/ no, why?<br /><br />Depends- is it something that will remain unprofitable? Then it will likely be the more loving thing to help him or her realize that what they&#039;re doing may very well be detrimental to the family! If you&#039;re looking at the short term- a business has existed for twenty years, and for...

Should your religion stop you from lending spiritual support of a pedophile continuing his pleasure? I hope so! It does mine! On the other hand, if you mean supporting someone in right decisions and through difficult times with love- then the...

Very often at three in the morning as he screams, and I remind him he just ate not too long ago. But I still wouldn&#039;t trade him for the world.

I&#039;m all in favor of punishments fitting the crimes. The problem is, that probably wouldn&#039;t stop any behavior, as at that point it is a psychological need and...

(be honest)<br /><br />I don&#039;t consider it weird in the least; I enjoy listening to music with a good beat, and I move to it- but I wouldn&#039;t call what I do dancing, as it looks more like a hippo attempting to operate a jackhammer!

Do you refill his glass?<br /><br />I usually prepare supper and wait on my wife, as she usually has to breastfeed while we are eating supper. I&#039;m very happy to be able to serve her in that way! On the contrary, when we have lunches together on the weekend, when I&#039;m very busy with homework, my wife will usually serve me.

This boggles my mind.<br /><br />One reason: The child has special needs that one person alone can&#039;t handle. I was one such &quot;sitter&quot; for a three-year-old to basically give the mom a few hours&#039; reprieve every day. Another reason: possibly the parent just has no clue how to be a parent, possibly because they...

I have no clue why others don&#039;t; perhaps it&#039;s not as cost effective? I&#039;d appreciate more choices as I looked at what to order in!

Civil War sets up that story; depending on how much you want to spend, you may want to pick up that collection as well- but just &quot;Death of&quot; would work fine!

I have some post-cards and I had no idea they were comic book covers, I'm intrigued.<br /><br />In some ways, its similar, though Archie scews more to comedy than romance- at least any Archie comic I remember reading. Romance comics were generally just that- romance stories told in comic form. They were very bland in my view, but romance reading isn&#039;t usually my thing. I picked up a...

I received the huge collection for Christmas a number of years ago; Busiek and Perez did an amazing job with it. Total fan service; not the comic to give a newcomer, but I really enjoyed it.

If so, was it worthwhile?<br /><br />Our church required it- and it was mostly worthwhile. It talked about how things change in marriage, as well as getting you to think about things that may have been avoided until that point. The fact that we took the class also lowered the price of the Marriage Certificate- the state we got...

It would be so light. Also, I imagine that if people knew...

It would be difficult, but it would likely be the right thing to do. If there were extenuating circumstances (in self-defense, for example) I&#039;d make sure that that fact was known- and I&#039;d be very loud with it!

I think that'd be nice for gay couples.<br /><br />For the couple, I think they&#039;d appreciate that. For the child- I&#039;m not so sure. There are certain things that are provided by a mother or a father that is unique- same reason that adults should not have friends of just one gender. There are gender differences, and that affects...

Or should it improve it's crippled social security system, fix the education funding crisis, and address countless other problems at home?<br /><br />In a word: Yes. It&#039;s not either-or.

Would your past self believe it, think they were crazy, or something else?<br /><br />Knowing me- I wouldn&#039;t bother going back, simply because anything I&#039;d say wouldn&#039;t change too much.

In The Dark Knight Returns (ask in any comic shop, they&#039;ll be able to help) set in the future, a girl becomes the new Robin after Batman comes out of retirement.

Why?<br /><br />If you mean TV dramas, I&#039;d say it&#039;s more 50/50. :) Speaking of drama in real life- I think men tend to bury things more than women typically do; if something bothers us, we&#039;ll either deal with it or just not deal with it.

True answer: We get to see each other about five, six times a year, as they live ten hours away- just long enough to be a pain. My in-laws, though, come once a month.

It might take a day or two for that to reach boiling (because of the initial shock) and then it becomes not murder in the moment but murder pre-thought out.
