Marvel is definitely going hard with trying to market to girls and women, which makes sense since the Marvel movies are the face of comics today and as far as I know there's no gender divide with that fanbase so why the **** not try to capitalize on that by catering to women? It's not like they've stopped catering to their old fanbase, they're just branching out. And some of those comics obviously targeted to girls have been awesome. Spider-Woman has been one of my favorite series over the last few years, All-New Wolverine with X-23 rules, Spider-Gwen is surprisingly solid as well, and I could give a **** what gender Thor is so long as Jason Aaron is still the writer. Also shout out to Gwenpool.

It's expensive and a bit of a pain in the ass to store all of them but reading a single issue is the best way to read comics. It's definitely better than digital and there's something about the feel of a comic book in your hands that's more enjoyable than a TPB.

I can drink a lot but I also sometimes go months without drinking any alcohol, so I think I'm more or less fine.

If you're passing out at a party at 8pm (don't know when you started drinking) I think that's indicative enough of a problem, but then, what do I know? I only have a sister who was an alcoholic and refused to admit it.

You generally go on for at least an hour or two after you black out. It's hard to tell though without someone telling you how long you were awake since, well, you blacked out.

I'm not sure I understand that. If you black out, how can you go on??
No I do voluntary work for CAMM (Care About My Mates) - sorry if that upsets you but I've seen what alcoholism can do.

And single issues are usually how I read comics. Only keeping up with two series at the moment, so cost isn't really a problem for me.

No idea but you do regardless. You just don't remember any of it. Sort of like sleep walking except you're usually embarrassing yourself in public.

When you're blacked out, you're still conscious and usually are not aware of the fact that you're blacked out. I blacked out once and throat sang for the entirety of an hour long drive from Los Angeles in a car full of people once.

I only brought up the MADD thing because it seems like you've only been exposed to the drastically bad side of it and are applying that to a night of drinking with friends.
