SCMP Reporter

I read comics from time to time, but not local  ones.  Local comics are almost always about fighting, and that's a genre I'm not fond of.  I like to read Japanese comics because they  are full of suspense and have more  intricate plots. I'm a big fan of the Shounen Jump mangas, especially Deathnote.

No.  Local comics have  good illustrations but they're far too long-winded, and they're always about the same thing. I prefer to read mainstream Japanese comics. My favourite  is Hajime

no Ippo.

I don't read local comics, but I've heard of Wong Yuk-Long  and know that he  has been to prison. I think his comics are far too violent and  are more of a 10-years-ago thing than something that would appeal to our generation.  I don't like any of his comics' storylines, either. I  read Japanese comics, and I particularly like Slam Dunk.

No, I don't read local comics. In fact, I don't  read comics at all. But I like to watch animated versions of them,  because I  like seeing all the action played out.  I'd much rather watch than read. The animations that I watch are Japanese.

I don't  read local comics, but my grandfather  knows Ma Wing-shing. In his movie, Storm Riders, Ma  quoted some of the things my grandfather used to say.  My mum also knows Wong Yuk-long, and  he's a funny and very nice guy. I like Wong's  comics, mainly because he's experienced, and because he  uses   simple ideas to draw cool things.



Do you read local comics?
