Getting my sister into comics by making it a game night thing
My sis never cared about my comic collection till I tried something new. We started having comic nights where we pick a random issue and read it out loud together. I let her do the sound effects and silly voices for the villains. Now she looks forward to it and even picks out books she wants to try. It turned a solo hobby into a fun family hangout. She’s asking about story arcs and characters on her own now. Best part is we laugh a lot and it’s not just me geeking out alone.

Nice! Did the same thing with my nephew and Deadpool comics. He'd never sit still for normal reading, but once I let him do the voices for Dopinder the taxi driver? Hooked. We did the one where Wade tries to get free chimichangas at a Mexican restaurant, and he was howling. Now he asks if we can read the "funny red guy" every weekend.

Didn't I hear they made a kid-friendly Deadpool comic for this exact reason?

Wait, you let a kid read Deadpool? That's the part that gets me. It's not exactly kids stuff, but hey, if it gets them reading, who am I to judge.
