The "What Kind Of Comic Geek Am I" Test

I've heard that comics are not just for geeks anymore. I think that there's just more different types of geeks than ever before. You know you're a geek, but, what kind of geek are you?

Get started with these questions...

1

Where do you get your comics?

Comics!? I wait for the trades.

For new stuff I use my LCS, for everything else there's ebay and mom's mastercard.

Hot Topic!

Borders, Barnes and Noble, other chain stores.

2

What is your favorite comic?

JTHM, Lenore, GloomCookie, anything by Slave Labor.

My favorite comic is my slabbed/mint copy of Showcase #6, the first appearance of the Challengers Of The Unknown, another brilliant Jack Kirby creation. It came out in 1957 and was blah blah blah blah...

Eightball, Love and Rockets, anything by Oni Press.

Whatever looks cool.

Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, anything with scantily clad catgirls.

3

How's the parent's basement?

Dark.

I don't know, I moved out when I was seventeen to tour with my band.

Quite comfortable, actually.

What?

4

Who killed Sue Dibny?

I don't know.

Jean Loring, duh. She did it in an attempt to bring her and her husband Ray Palmer, The Atom, closer together. This was a bold move by DC because blah blah blah blah...

Who?

5

Shouldn't you be reading comics?

I was, but I'm taking a break.

No indies came out this week.

Can't. Going clubbing.

I'm downloading them right now.

I read them at Borders.

6

Do you work in a comic shop?

Yes.

No, but I might as well for as much time as I spend there.

No, I work at (insert chain/corporate store here)

No, I work at (insert fast food restaurant here)

No, I've been banished from all the local one's because of my hygene and incessant whining.

I don't work, I'm still in High School.

7

What do you think of Rob Leifeld

I think he is/was highly overrated. I mean, the guy can't even draw feet. Seriously blah blah blah blah...

His old stuff on Hawk and Dove was really cool, but his later stuff lost something.

Actually, it's pronounced Liefeld.

He was a pale Arthur Adams rip-off.

Who?

8

What super power do you wish you had?

Dude, this is the stupidest question ever. I mean, what am I, thirteen?

Flight...no wait...laser vision, no...um...telekenisis maybe? Gawd, this is so hard. Can I think about it?

Well, for OBVIOUS reasons i would want x-ray vision.

Immortality.

Seriously dude, who asks these kinds of questions?

I wanna crap money.

Super Deform Go!

9

How does your girlfriend feel about your comics?

Um...no comment.

She collects too. She actually bought me a signed Runaways hardcover and the 1st Blue Monday trade for Christmas.

As long as she doesn't have to see it, it's ok.

She's too busy clubbing and working Ren Faire.

What?! How could you ask that, you mean man. I mean, look at me. (runs away sobbing)

My parents don't let me bring girls home.

She got me into it actually, she's a cosplayer.

10

When do new books come out?

Duh, every Wednesday.

I just go to Borders and pick up the trades.

I don't know.

11

What superheroine do you think is hot?

Dawn.

Wonder Woman could tie me up with that lasso of hers anytime.

Seriously dude, this is stupid, move on.

Power Girl.

Supergirl.

Your mom! heh heh.

Northstar...I mean, um...

Sailor Moon, , Battle Vixens, anyone who dresses like a cat.

12

Do you consider yourself a geek?

Yes, a geek is just somebody who's really into something.

Not really.

Hell no.

Sometimes.

No, I am a nerd.

13

How many toys do you have?

A couple.

All the Invader Zim and Tim Burton toys they had at Hot Topic.

Too many.

I have an extensive collection of MECO dolls, including Mr. Mxyzptlyk, as well as every Marvel and DC character ever made. I have the original, red suited blah blah blah blah...

I had to build an addition to my parents basement to hold them all.

I have a few McFarlane figures, mostly the movie based ones.

I have original, import Ultraman figures, as well as astro Boy, Dragon Ball Z, too many more.

14

What books did you get this week?

None, I haven't had a chance to go to Borders yet. I'm waiting for their next sale.

Gloom Cookie, Little Scrowlie, Lenore volume 3 and Bear volume 2 trades.

X-Guy, X-Dude, X-Team, X-People, and X-Treme X-Dudes.

Emo Boy, Local, Channel Zero, Kabuki, DMZ, and Geisha.

Too many to name.

All the Vertigo titles.

15

What was the last comic movie you've seen?

Sin City.

Fantastic Four.

X3, I downloaded an early version of the film.

Catwoman.

Aeon Flux, but I guess technically that wasn't based on a comic. It was very comicbook-like though. And they did make a miniseries based on it.

A History Of Violence.

Steamboy...Casshern...

16

Marvel or DC?

Image!

SLG

That's such a hard question. Both companies have characters I like. Marvel has Decimation and Civil War coming up, not to mention Annihalation. DC has Infinite Crisis and 52 though. Marvel has Bendis, but DC has Geoff Johns. Aaaaaaarrrrggghhh!

I don't read that corporate superhero crap!

So I can put it up on my MySpace.

Eh, it's something to do.

I'm killing time until Adult Swim.
