Spider Man  

I don't like any of the Marvel comic books, though I tried to get into their Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow series. I got up to Vol 3 of 5 of the Battle School and Command School, but that was enough for me. Maybe if they put the completed series in a single work, but I doubt it. The book by Orson Scott Card is much better.

So yes, the Spiderman movie series is top rate, and I also liked Iron Man, and hope that Iron 2 Man doesn't disappoint me. I didn't see all the Batman series, but the last one I did see (the last Heath Ledger movie) I also liked.

Now I do like comic books, but I usually get the ones from independent shops, and on occasion something from Vertigo or Dark Horse looks interesting enough to acquire.

They said the actor from Percy Jackson and the Lighting Thief was rumored to be the next Spiderman, he will be replacing Tobey Maguire.

I'm not a big fan of comic books themselves. Or graphic novels. I just don't particularly enjoy them.

That's not because I don't like the characters, the ideas or whatever. I enjoy seeing them as films, television programmes or reading them as proper books. It's just that comics themselves seem to combine the worst aspects of both - there aren't enough words and the pictures don't move.
