What does your spouce, girlfriend/boyfriend, partner or whatever think of your comic collecting...

[HiEx]

Luckily I live in a country where comic reading and toy collecting by adults is a normal and accepted thing. It's more common here to see grown men reading comics on the bus and train rather than text-only novels.

My wife doesn't mind me reading 2000AD as she knows it's something I've loved since I was a kid, although she does have a lighthearted moan every now and again about the cost and the space the back progs take up.

Can't get her to start reading 2000AD for love or money though :(

Luckily enough Mrs. Zeep has become a 2000ad convert,  lured in initially by Sin/Dex.  She now reads the prog every week and has taken Halo Jones to work with her (eek!) and left it there! (double eek!)

I think she was a bit surprised though when I went in to FP in Edinburgh the other week and was able to spend ?22 quid on comics in less than five minutes.  Hey, it's not like I buy myself clothes or anything!

Mrs Rotts puts up with it, as many do, with a puzzled look and resignation. Mind you she has taken to buying me a GN for Birthday/xmas pressie. This is probaby more to do with not buying anything apart from tooth & the meg these days.

She's read some things, and for some reason holds Daredevil close to her heart.

"I'm planning to hit her with Halo Jones (not literally, I hasten to add), as I figure if there's one strip which could convert a girl, that'd be it."

Didn't work with my other half. She thought it was alright, but nothing special, and also thought the characters rather badly developed. She also tollerated Watchmen, but really enjoyed Top Ten and has since been badgering me regarding when I'll buy book II.

As far as general collecting goes, she doesn't care one way or another. As far as we're both concerned, comics are just a form of entertainment, often more intelligent than trashy soap operas and trash fiction.

Regarding movies, she enjoyed X-Men and Spider Man and thought Dare Devil was a bit pants--then again, the only one of those I thought was alright was Spider Man...

My missus thought DareDevil was crap, especially as it?s a film about a hero with a disability and is shot in such a way that makes it nearly impossible for people with a slight visual impairment to watch.
