What's the deal with comics?
I've NEVER understood this phenomena. What's the deal with comics? And Anime?
I mean I'm a SUPER geek and I still don't understand it. I used to want to learn Klingon so I could talk to my Star Trek friends. I collected Magic The Gathering and Star Wars collectable cards. I collected Pogs and have been playing video games ever since I had hands.. that gives me some serious geek points. My "crew" and I hung out in front of the LIBRARY. I used to read encylopedias for fun and I entered every Science Fair there was in middle and high school. I'm a COMPUTER SCIENCE major. I'm a geek.
But what the hell is it with some geeks and COMICS? They're fuckin' drawings. Of superheroes and dumb shit like that. Or Anime? There's all these otaku nerds who love everything japanese, including poorly dubbed anime that doesn't make any fucking sense.
So those of you who like comics -- what is so damn cool about them? They're not full motion, they're not fancy computer graphics, they're not good acting, half of them are in a different language...?
What am I missing?
