I posted these in other people's journals, but decided I probably ought to have them saved in my own so I'm reposting them here. :D

My interest in Marvel Comic Books died a slow death that I think started over a decade ago. I mean I bought my first in 83'. They included Red Sonja and the Elfquest books ( Read more... )

I've never read Absolute Boyfriend...what's it about?(it doesn't think liked the stuff I normally read, but hey I liked Ouran)
Marvel comics?...I'm a HUGE Spiderman & X-men nerd.

And thanks for the plot summary of Forever Knight. It kinda sounds like Angel(not that that's bad) I may check it out.

The female lead orders a very life like robot to be her boyfriend, and from what I've seen so far it's about, "Can a robot be a perfect boyfriend?"

My father was a HUGE Spiderman fan in the 60's. He had a Merry Marvel Marching Society membership. I was a HUGE X-Men fan in the late 80's and the early 90's. I had a Wild Agents of Marvel membership.

It kinda sounds like Angel (not that that's bad) I may check it out.

LOL It's, oh, 10 years older than Angel. Not only is the original pilot older than Buffy, the whole series was over before the Buffy TV series began. And, I think the main thing Nick and Angel have in common is the, "I was a bad vampire and now I want to be a good one," drive. :D

That was the similarity I was noticing.

I love Yuu Watase's artwork. I haven't tried all her stories by any stretch. I'm busy enough just collecting her series Fushigi Yugi, Ceres: Celestial Legend, and Absolute Boyfriend. I can say though that each of those series are different. The heroines may all be teenage girls, but each one of them is a character in her own right.

That was the similarity I was noticing.

Thing is, completely setting aside the general differences between FK and Joss'verse vampires, Nick was never the kind of killer Angel was. His guilt doesn't come from having been Angelus. His guilt comes from having been a Crusader, one that really believed in the cause, and having gotten turned into a vampire. They're very different characters, and I haven't thought about it before but I'm not sure what Nick would think of Angel.

I've recently discovered Fushigi Yugi(the anime). I love it...esp Tamahome.

Sounds like I need to at least get the first season of FK & see what I think.

Oh yes! Well, I like threesomes so I have a tendency to fantasize about Tamahome and Hotohori sharing Miaka, but. >:) The guy in my previous icon is my favorite guy from Ceres: Celestial Legend. B-)

*Nods.* I'm not sure how well you could get into the later seasons if you really didn't like the first one. I mean if you don't have a strong reaction to it it might be worth checking out the later seasons for LeCroix, and Vachon, but if you hate it I doubt a character or two will make things all better. :-|

It's okay. I'm not into femmeslash, and it took me a while before I could appreciate slash that was strictly m/m rather m/m/f so I totally know how everyone has their own tastes. O:)

*Nods.* Yeah, a lot of the fandom falls into the Toya camp or the Yuhi camp, but there are a number of other guys too. While Toya is my favorite guy I've got a bit of soft spot for Aya's twin brother Aki.
