Adults should grow up and stop watching superhero movies.

Hey, Miller's DD omnibus received a new printing this year, after the success of DD season 1 last year. You could find one on the cheap on either Amazon or Cheapgraphicnovels.
You also have an impressive collection. I plan on skipping John Byrne's Collected Marvel works, but I will be picking up his West Coast Avengers omnibus that comes out later this summer. West Coast Avengers was THE Avengers book back in the day. Also the last volume of JB's Superman comes out in April. I'll be picking that up too.

Adulting is awful. It is truly, truly awful. Enjoy being a child as much as you can. Who are you going to answer to, anyway? I guarantee you that every person has something they enjoy doing that others would frown upon as being immature. To hell with that. It's your life, enjoy it as you see fit so long as no one else is harmed by it.
I don't think that was really the point. I think the point is that super-hero movies can be enjoyed by adults as much as adults enjoy watching sports. It makes me wonder though, how many comic book nerds are also sports fans. I certainly enjoy both. I also enjoy Mozart, Beethoven, Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel and Arcade Fire. I enjoy reading Charles Dickens, opera, independent cinema, b-horror movies, Stephen King, and JRR Tolkien. I don't differentiate what is for kids and what is for adults in any of these cases.
For the win!I'm waiting till they release the comic book version of it.
@M.A.C.O. -- Thanks for the heads-up on the DD/Miller re-issue. My same regret applies to the Simonson Thor run as well, but, damn! You can't find that one for under $175 either.
And I don't know whether to thank you or curse your name for making me aware of cheapgraphicnovels. Oh, my aching bank account.

Comic nerds and sports fans ?
They're not mutually exclusive, but they don't cross over hugely.
What makes me chuckle is sports fans looking down on geeks and nerds before returning in an irony free manner to their in depth discussion of players and stats from an obscure game that took place fifteen years ago...
Yeah, I broke down and bought one those $175 omnibus' off ebay. It is in perfect condition. I guess the original owner only read it once. I put it on my credit card and didn't feel too bad buying it, since the original price was $125.
I know the feeling. Cheapgraphicnovels is almost a steal with the collected volumes they have for sale.
I was joking but there is a real book...

Sounds painful.
I'm both and have been since I was a child in elementary school in the 1970s. One does not preclude the other though I admit I've only met one other person like on that front.
It comes down to all comic fans being socially inadequte, and all sports fans being stupid.
Who'd want to be both ?

Here's a shorter version: Pay bills, clean up after yourself, and be responsible.
Done.
The best part about being a grown up is that no one can make you grow up.
