Poll time yus?

Now I'm curious, so bewareee would having a lot of comic book/TV/cartoon refs ruin a book for you guys or would you dig it? I'm mostly asking since the book I'm attempting to write, Which will probably never see the light of day. has a lot of comic refs, the first chapter I make maybe three comic book refrences not in a row mind you, but the character says it snarkily.

Examples:

Makes me glad she at least chooses Saturdays to go copulate, the mall will be open till three. I can lurk and maybe go ‘window shopping’. They never notice me anyway. I just tug on a hoodie and jeans, an BAM inviso girl. My powers of being unseen TRULY come out when its date night for my mother and by mall security when I’m snatching candy bars.

The invisible woman would be proud.



This counts as two since I mentioned Gotham and Batman.

It wasn’t really that hard to get in the mall, since its summer still plenty of teens are there. We’re a weirdly sized town so an forever opened mall was a must since people being bored at three in the morning is a big no, no.
Especially when we’re close to being evenly matched with Gotham in the batshit crazy people department. All we lack is a caped man going from rooftop to rooftop claiming someone killed his parents and brooding rather loudly.

I'm half tempted to do a Harely Quinn ref next ether that or TMNT along with Usagi Yojimbo.

Tell me what you guys think, I'm honestly wondering. My non comic geek friend didn't really get the refs so- curious Sora be CURIOUS.

Mostly my 'Otaku' friends who mostly gobbled anime for breakfast, lunch and dinner kinda vaguely blinked when I talked about comics.

Thank you, I'm trying to keep it from being totally obvious and fit in with the characters way of speaking. She's a snarky bitch who read comics so it couldn't be helped in some ways.
