They are sold in the UK? We have a comic book shop (ACE Comics) in our town and they sell Marvel comics when they are released in the UK... And they sell the comic collections in WH Smiths, I got Avengers Vs X-Men all in one for ?10 there!
Though nowadays I buy comics on ComiXology on my Kindle since I can get comics at US release then and for a lot cheaper, but I still go to ACE if I want a hardcopy of a comic.

I was buying comics on my Nook for a while and a manga, too. Mostly it was because my favorite graphic novel now costs $150 (US dollars, obviously) because it's rare. I got it on the Nook for $10, but now all the memory on my E-reader is used up and I can't even download the books I already own.
So I'm buying physical copies only and I have a subscription folder set up at my favorite comic book store.
Tell me, though, is Captain Britain really huge over there? I've always wondered about that, but I haven't been able to find any of the comics just yet, though I understand he's made a few crossovers in the Excalibur series.

 

[Syd]

I'll post a form like some person is creating a character for a roleplay based on me haha:

Name: Sydney
Age: 20
Birthday: 18th of June
Appearance: Short blonde hair cropped into a pixie cut, bangs always stick up and makes her look messier than she actually is. She has eyes the color of blue/grey, unfortunately her eyes are super small so you can barely tell the color. She has a big nose, dotted with brown freckles, she has recently gotten a horrid sun-burn on her cheeks and her nose though, so you wouldn't even notice the freckles at the moment. She has average lips, and normal cheeks. Sydney is super short, and it's almost damaging to her health. She basically never got her middle school/high school growth spurt. She dresses in stupid graphic tees, and skinny jeans, combined with her dying black converse. She has a thin scar running down her abdomen area, due to a kidney failure and a transplant from her sister.
Personality: Sydney is a smartass. She could care LESS about what you have to say unless it involves, Castle, Harry Potter or books. She has severe asthma and carries a blue inhaler in her pocket at all times. She doesn't care about romance, at all. She is asexual and doesn't get attracted to anyone. She is a loner, and doesn't really talk with anyone unless forced to(except the internet), and couldn't care less about her habits.
Biography: Sydney was born in Scotland, and lived there for a good portion of her life. She has a strong Scottish accent, and it bothers her. When she was 5 she was diagnosed with asthma, and when she was 7 she had to get super nerdy glasses due to her nearsightedness. Her family moved to Anaheim when she was 9, and has lived in the California area for the rest of her life. Everything was great for Sydney, until she was 18.5 years of age. She went to the ER due to kidney failure, and had to get a transplant from her sister. (Her kidneys already sucked, so the failure wasn't that surprising.) She graduated high-school and went to college majoring in mathematics. And that is where she is currently.
Other Crap: Sydney wears contacts, she sucks at dancing and singing, and is over-protective of her safety and security.

I've never seen any Captain Britain comics before, so he might not be here popular in the UK. I'll check in Forbidden Planet next time I'm in London, but they only stock New releases...

Ah, I see.
I was just curious. Captain America is pretty big here in the US. Sort of. Fans tend to have a love/hate relationship with due to his (lack of) powers and the role he played in the Civil War......Which I'm sure you already know about >.<
I'm just gonna stop talking now.
Happy comic book hunting

 

[cIementine]

Yeah, social anxiety is a lot more common that people seem to think, though it's not always recognized cause it's often written off as shyness.
Dogs are cool. I tend to favor the smaller breeds over the larger ones, though.
>.< What the heck -- Marvel isn't sold in the UK? According to what Wiki says, they're sold by Panini comics where you are. Ah, well.
I'm not much of a DC girl, honestly, though Bob Kane was awesome. Personally, I'm really looking forward to see how the Iron Man franchise recovers from Iron Man 3 with the fourth movie. That last one was painfully disappointing for me to watch.
I like manga better because I feel the story is stronger. I think the last anime I watched all the way through was Fruits Basket or Chobits, maybe. Right now I'm in the middle of collecting the Cardcaptor Sakura omnibus reprints and the Degenki Daisy series. Big fan of CLAMP's work, personally.

Yeah, it needs to be noticed more.

And no. Never ever seen a single Marvel comic in my country.
I cannot wait for the next Avengers and Iron man film. The Avengers and Iron Man 3 are what got me into Marvel.
Right now I'm watching Yumeiro Patissiere. It is adorable xD

Hello! I go by Marci!

I'm 23 years old, just graduated uni as a communication studies major. I really enjoy public speaking and giving presentations. I also like getting to know people from other countries as well as learning about different cultures. Grabbing a lunch with someone is definitely a great way to get to know someone. I also love good company: positivity, spontaneity, a good laugh, and food. And a good game is nice in a group too, just as long as everyone's having fun.

I also enjoy a good book as well. I used to do volunteer work in a library and do a lot of reading when I was a kid, and my love for reading just sticks today. Though they haven't been books lately... ahaha. ;D (Seriously though, I feel like I've read way better fanfiction than some books out there...)

Anyway, when it comes to video games I'm more of an RPG player than anything else. I've stuck with Pokemon throughout the years, and I love playing with others who enjoy it as well... as long as they're easy-going and nice 'n stuff. Honestly I'm surprised I've stuck with ACNL this whole time though, but I guess I can thank my kid sister and other nice players who make the game enjoyable.

So that's it for the moment because I think someone's eyes might've fallen out with all of that information I gave about myself. (Sorry about that!)

Hey Marci! You seem like a really positive person. I love getting to know people, but I can get nervous and sometimes, as fabulous as I am, the person doesn't seem to like me.

I love reading. I am currently reading 'A dog called Homeless' and just finished 'The Hunger Games' for the umpteenth time.

Video-game wise I stick mainly to Animal Crossing New Leaf & Wild world, and will occasionally get back into 'My Sims Kingdom' which I played when I was younger. I thought I lost it for good and found it on Christmas day last year. Best present of the year! I've heard good things about pokemon and am considering getting it, but it doesn't seem like my kind of thing, and with full dreamies, I should concentrate on my NL town.

Nice to get to know you c:

 

[nabooru]

My name's Emily! I'm from Scotland, I'm in my 20's, and I study Social Sciences at a university in Glasgow.

I'm quite a shy person and I really like my own company. That being said, I can be outgoing when I want to, I'm just not an extrovert, if you will. I really like History, Politics, video games, animals and shows like South Park/The Simpsons (old episodes) and American Dad!. I like to read; I don't particularly have a favourite book, but I like F Scott Fitzgerald and John Steinbeck.


That's literally all there is to me. I really like Zelda and Penguins so if you like them too then well we can be friends.

Hi Emily! I'm from the UK so we're not that far apart!

We have in common a love for History, reading, animals, and the Simpsons!

 

[chillv]

My occupation is the arts (writing, painting, drawing, music etc.) and gaming. I want to become an indie dev one day.

I am an introvert and I am shy. As a result, I don't have many freinds and I basically do things by myself, even when I would like to have someone to do things with. Also, I am an american, black, teenage boy.

Phobias: Arachnophobia, Angriphobia, Trypanophobia, Angyrophobia, Ailurophobia, Cynophobia, and Pteromerhanophobia.

 

[Zakarri]

Okay, so yeah, hi, new guy here. My name's Alex, I'm 16 years old, I'm from Michigan, and I suck at these.

I consider myself really chill and easy to talk to. I can be a very giant goof at times, and I really like to make people laugh and smile. A lot of people have a talent or a passion, like writing or art. I always like to say that mine is people. I like to make people feel good about themselves, make them happy, and if someone's down or upset I won't ever give up on them. It came make me come off as a bit overbearing, especially when I gush about people, but oh well. That said, at times I face depression too, and need people to show me that what I have is great and to see stuff that's kinda right in my face, haha. This kinda goes along with my ENFP personality type.

There's a lot of things that I liked that you could talk to me about. I love expanding my musical tastes, same with my movie/TV library. I'm also very into social justice and progressive politics, and I'm usually willing to have a friendly debate with someone if they want. I don't tend to make arguments if the other side isn't willing, though.

Anyways, that's all I have. I look forward to making your guys' acquaintance, and I always appreciate a random PM if you wanna talk, so please, don't be shy!

 

[cannedcommunism]

I am 13, male, and single (not like that's going to come in handy). I am in 7th grade, and hate school SO MUCH. I am a huge Mario Bros., Dragon Quest, Animal Crossing, StarFox, and Star Wars nerd, and have played almost every game in the Mario series. My favorite video game of all time is Super Mario Bros. 3, even though I can't even get past World 3. I'm 100% Irish in descent. I also don't like stalkers, so I ain't gonna tell you where I live. Lastly, my favorite villager is Hamphrey.

Also, I have an iPod filled with hipster music, as well as 41 Lady Gaga songs (she's my favorite music artist, in case you couldn't tell.) I also like Lorde, the Backstreet Boys, Maroon 5, fun., Tegan and Sara, and Adele.
