Guest Gunner Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 IMO they have every right to be. I got the first one I read from my father. I have all of them (the English translations obviously) I read the entire series when I was between 8-12 y.o. Haven't read them since. :(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley's Girl Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 I read the entire series when I was between 8-12 y.o. Haven't read them since. :(( I make a point of reading them every few months. Good comic relief, and while I know most of them inside and out they still manage to make me laugh. The characters are just so lovable. Their almost like family and old friends with whom you can be completely yourself with no barriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomainK Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Conan comics by the Darkhorse comics is Excellent! That looks like adult comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley's Girl Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 The druid. :king: Getafix :king: without a doubt.

Mr. Wicket Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 have you read them? Yes. Really liked most, but thought a couple of others (5 in particular) were a bit on the dull side. The 3rd of the series is probably my favourite. If Potter is that good' date=' I will dig out the e-books. The advantage with e-books is that no one comes to know that you are reading a children's book. :D[/quote'] That insecure about other people seeing what you read, Dominik? BTW, why would you be so worried about people seeing you reading a "children's book" that has only set sale records for fiction books with massive audiences of kids and adults?

If you like William Wallace, this guy is the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temujin Khaghan Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 That looks like adult comics. no, if it was i wouldnt have posted it here. its more like teasing... than adult really.

I was just joking about that. In fact I always read e-books. I can not even remember the last time I read a proper book. E-books can be carried in a mobile phone and read anywhere. So easy.

It's cool. no i sometimes forget that a lot of guys in the forums actually post in the ICF even in the workplace... it would definitely be awkward for them... i am editing the post. regarding the movie conan... all ican say is that conan was a wussie in that movie man. The real conan is an animal. arnold was too amiable and sophisticated for that role. The actual conan has a feral streak in him. i hope the next edition coming out in 2011 will be far more realistic.

He knows everything about everything related to the Romans, including the Gauls. Ancient warfare is pretty much his terrain. Ask him anything about Carthage, and you'll end up knowing more about Hannibal's battle strategies than you thought possible. The kid's cool.

Vercingetorix was king of the Arverni, elected High King of Gaul. Gergovia was the only battle in which he beat Ceasar. His real name was Cingeto. Rix is a suffix which means king, and the prefix ver denotes that he is High King of Gaul. He was also the only High King in the history of Gaul.
