Brothers Andy and Larry Wachowski, most famous for their involvement in “The Matrix” series, as well “V For Vendetta” and “Speed Racer,” are themselves also avid comic readers. “V For Vendetta” was a popular graphic novel before it ever became a film, and they also wrote and directed “The Animatrix,” a series of comic-inspired shorts involving the world of “The Matrix.” One would expect that the brothers have a specific taste in a certain type of comic, and this is true in their favorite comics of all time: they love “Ghost in the Shell,” “The Ninja Scroll,” and “Akira.” However, growing up, they also found a love for the everyday superhero comics: “The X Men,” “Fantastic Four,” and “Thor.” It’s no surprise that they also had a taste for stoic and unsurprising characters– they caste Keanu Reeves in their films.
