The questionnaire can be found here. These answers are from Nobs!
1. Just like Mix, I'm also into Batman. I have my own copy of The Long Halloween, The Dark Knight Returns/Strikes Again/Year One, The Killing Joke and even Absolute Hush (yes, just cause I loved the story so much) plus a lot more of Bruce Wayne. I also have others from DC like Infinite Crisis, Identity Crisis, Blackest Night, etc. I also read some stuff from Marvel like Civil War and 1602. I haven't read much from Marvel though because I've been trying to understand the DC Universe for quite some time. I recently took a break and began reading stuff like Y: The Last Man, Watchmen, Blankets, The Swamp Thing, Transmetropolitan, The Walking Dead and some local comics which include Trese, Zsazsa Zaturnnah, Nardong Tae, Kalayaan, Elmer, Tabi Po and Ang Alamat ng Panget and Many Other.
2. If I purchased them or read a soft copy of it obviously means that I enjoy reading them. I usually do a little research before reading comics/graphic novels, if I read good comments on it or if I like the synopsis then I look for them and start reading. I like reading them cause they are amusing from the drawing itself to the story.
3. What are you talking about? I think that comics are for everyone! It just so happens that not a lot of girls out there haven't tried exploring the wonderful world of comics hence, the claim that comics are for boys.
4. Craig Thompson (Blankets), Grant Morrison (52), Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns), Brad Meltzer (Identity Crisis), Allan Moore (The Swamp Thing), Budjette Tan (Trese) and Gerry Alanguilan (Elmer) are most likely my faves! They are my favourites because in my opinion, their stories are very unique or they just got me emotional. Blankets and Identity Crisis was a heartbreaker and that's why I loved their story and creators! The Dark Knight Returns just made me fall in love with Bruce Wayne much more! Superman in overrated plus Batman can beat the hell out of him!
5. Well, we have to admit that we don't see much male characters looking so seductive unlike the females but then I think all we women need is an open and mature mind. The story makes up for it anyway.
6. Oh dear! I really would love to make my own someday. Again, I don't think comics are specifically for one gender. Maybe we can lure in more girls by writing comics just like Blankets. Writing about love or probably experience itself makes a story interesting for women.
7. The story is king says my professor. Gender doesn't matter as long as the story is good! If there's one way to lure more girls then it's by influence.
8. So far, I think our local comics are doing great. If there's one thing I'd like to see more of, it would be probably more female comic book writers and more great stories!
9. See less of? I don't think there isn't anything I wanna see less of in the local comic scene.
10. We're going worldwide, that's for sure! We have great storytellers and artists :)
