Who knows how differently I would have grown up if I had stuff like this to keep me busy as a kid. Comic Vine seems to be THE place to get the information you want about your favorite super hero. I'm trying to get my 7 yr old son interested in super hero stuff. Regretfully, most of the recent onslaught of movies are a little too mature for him at 7 in my opinion.
Thanks to Profy.com for alerting me to this fabulous website. Comic enthusiasts may also check out these entertaining farm animal comic strips.
This website may be a way I can get him onto some other website where he can read about interesting things and potentially pick-up a hobby at the same time.
Comic Vine is first and formost a user-submitted encyclopedia for comics. To that end we hope to become the most up-to-date and authoritative resource on the Internet for the medium. It's a lofty goal and one we don't take lightly. Comic Vine is completely custom built and uses a toolset made specifically for the catologing of comics and comics alone. We promise to always update and expand the toolset as long as there is a community that wants to submit data. We are always going to be as relevant as you want us to be.
Comic Vine is also a community of comic nerds. We're trying to provide new methods for fans to express their passion for comics. We'd like to help out the comic wanna-bes, whether that's the 12 year-old tracing his first X-Men cover or the 40 year old who's still a big kid and dresses up for the local Con. We just want this to be a fun place to chat up comics.
