I usually have a comic with me on all my breaks at work, I am able to read at least one trade a day at work doing so, and up to 3 when work is slow. its gotten to a point where i memorized how to get to my favorite smoking spot and when i leave my desk i dont look up from my book till im back at my desk. but unfortunantly it feels like im the only person who reads comics at my office (over 1400 employees). in europe and japan comics have become very popular enough that people are aware that they are not just for kids anymore, however here in the U.S we still cant seem to break away from that generalization yet. only in 'merca i guess. keep it real geeks hey!

Is Jim Mroczkowski writing from a large city?

The number I've seen reading them hasn't changed, though. And I don't seem to see more people reading Marvel than before. I have always spotted people reading comics on the subways and buses.
