My other main passion is comics. I used to watch Batman: The Animated Series as a kid A LOT. Gotham City is my other home (besides the Pride Lands) and I recently got into Marvel thanks to the 'Avengers'. I had some Spiderman from Marvel. I go the conventions and I might post pics one day. I went to the San Diego comic con last month. My favorite books:

Batman
1. Killing Joke
2. Arkham Asylum
3. Joker: Devil's advocate
4. Catwoman: Her sister's keeper
5. No Man's Land (EPIC!)
6. Harley Quinn: Mad Love
7. Gotham Central
8. The Man Who Laughs
9. Streets of Gotham
10. Death in the family
11. False Faces
12. Long Halloween

Non-Batman

Thor by J Michael Straczynski
The Sword by the Luna Brothers
KISS-Various (Marvel, Dark Horse)
Lex Luthor: Man of Steel (Better than "Joker" by the same artist/writer team)
Ultra: Seven Days by the Luna Bros
Superman Red Son

Not really but I have read The Killing Joke and it is an incredible read regardless of comic book appreciation! Story is great.

It's very dark. I love Brian Bolland's detail in the art.

Did you ever read Tower of Babel? One of my favorite JLA books.

Have you met any creators? I have met: Paul Dini, Dustin Nguyen, Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, Jim Balent, Ed Brubaker, Brian K Vaughn.

And since this is a Lion King board, has anyone here heard of Pride of Baghdad?

I don't usually read comics/graphic novels, but one I have read is actually Pride of Baghdad ^.^ It's really good, I enjoyed it. The art is awesome, really sad twist at the end though, brought a few tears to my eyes.

I read Tower Of Babel that is a really good story line, which was used as a basses for the most recent Justice League Direct to DVD animated movie Justice League: Doom.

I have never had the pleasure of meeting any creators, you are very lucky.
