The one thing I don’t like is when artists make characters look too similar.  then I have trouble understanding who is who.  But I’m also not good at distinguishing people in real life, so it’s probably the way my brain works. 

I haven’t read any manga.  I used to watch Sailer Moon, though that was better in japanese (with subtitles of course) because the plots were more fun.  I don’t even know what constitutes manga actually lol.  But I know it’s becoming more and more popular.  :-)

What is it about Death Note that is so captivating for you?

I find Buffy so amazing because the characters are so well developed, not to mention hilarious.  Also, there are some really interesting lessons that I’ve learned from characters.  For instance, Willow’s character is a really good example of good intentions going badly, and also what happens when a good person is pushed too far and reaches the depths of darkness. 

As for wonder woman, I think it’s the feminist perspective.  She’s treated as an equal.  And since they rarely have her romantically involved, I don’t have to be distracted by heterosexuality in the story.  Which is why I started reading the 52 series, because they’ve ‘outed’ batwoman.  So I was able to enjoy a gay storyline that ended up turning into one of the most interesting personal growth stories of the series in Renee Montoya.  Now I can’t wait to see how they continue those story arcs. 

I don’t really care about all the action packed stuff that many comics revolve around.  For me it’s character development and growth.  Tell me a story, don’t just beat up bad guys.  :-)  Though that has it’s place from time to time.
