I think, perhaps, the term that some posters here are missing is Graphic Novel.
They are generally not your fathers (or your own younger day) comics.
"A graphic novel is a type of comic book, usually with a lengthy and complex storyline similar to those of novels, and often aimed at mature audiences. The term also encompasses comic short story anthologies, and in some cases bound collections of previously published comic book series (more commonly referred to as trade paperbacks).
Graphic novels are typically bound in longer and more durable formats than familiar comic magazines, using the same materials and methods as printed books, and are generally sold in bookstores and specialty comic book shops rather than at newsstands.".....

I'm a real clown for not knowing the difference in types of comic books? I would have phrased it "When you CAN explain it and reference it then you know you are possible a real clown and dork..."

HAHAHA.
Im not a big comic book fan at all, but i think "Graphic Novels" fall along the lines of "Sin City" "V for Vendetta" and "300". So im guessing they have more of a story, where as comic books are guys with tights.

Certainly an interesting concept, but that stringy purple hair, similar to comic books, stopped being cool in about third grade.

It does seem like DaemonSeid was being passive aggressive. If he wasn't, it's still true that you should've stayed your ass out of this thread.
