Yes. That's why you should always use protection.
Oh, and returning to my previous question about comic books: I tried, I really tried but everything I read seemed to have been written by a 12-year-old. Seriously, it felt like I was watching Batman from the 1960s. So I guess that's it for that then.

Wait, what was your question about comic books? I despise most comics (manga as well as Western works), but have also found some stuff I really like, and even some I consider incredible masterpieces.
Edit-
Sticking solely to Western stuff, I have enjoyed Garth Ennis's work, especially the "Preacher" series, and his current series "The Boys". Don't expect great writing; think of it more as a compelling action film with insane violence, wild sex, and sophomoric/dark humor.
With regards to excellent writing worthy of a book, there are a few manga I could recommend.
A few comic books I've thought were worth my while:
* Sandman, naturally.
* Maus. This is pretty heavy stuff (Holocaust), so it's not for the squeamish, but it's well done.
* Usagi Yojimbo. On the opposite end of the scale. Basically semi-fantasy feudal Japan with anthropomorphic animals (I'd say furries but then people would assume that it's pornographic, which it assuredly isn't).
* Blacksad. Film-noir, again with the anthropomorphism. And some bloody amazing art.
I have to admit that I've yet to read an interesting superhero comic. I'm sure they exist, but...
Pyrel - an open-source rewrite of the Angband roguelike game in Python.

How could I forget Maus? I would definitely second that recommendation.

I agree. However, I do enjoy "The Boys" because it's a parody of superheros; virtually every superhero in that work is an insane, mass-murdering, raping, fucked-up degenerate.
