I'm not a huge comic or graphic novels fan. Mostly because I'm not a visual person. I don't have a good visual memory, which makes it hard for me to keep characters apart. I love watching anime. I'd love to read some manga, but with mangas being in black and white, I just keep mixing everyone right up.
At least I'm assuming that's the reason I never picked comics up as a child. If anyone has any suggestions for me, please feel free to comment, because I always had the impression, I'm missing out.

I need to read Saga. It seems to get rave reviews and I need to take the plunge. I haven't been reading as many graphic novels lately although I do like Alex and Ada.
ReplyDeleteI'll look into Alex and Ada :) Also, if you're into sci-fi, which I believe you are, do pick up Saga, it's magnificent.

You should continue with Saga.
DeleteI've heard so much about Neil Gaiman's Sandman. I think one of my favorite TV Shows, Lucifer, was inspired by one its characters so I should give it a try!
