I don't want to push it too hard (I hate it when people push things on me too much, so I don't want to be a hipocrit), but I thought it worth mentioning that even though 100 Bullets LOOKS like it's a different set up all the time, once you're past the first couple of storyarcs there are certain characters that become very important and therefore are always around. And that becomes more and more the case as the arcs continue.
OK, I'll leave it alone now.

Just thought people would want to know. The Walking Dead Harcover, covering issues#1-24(everything so far). Will be release within the month of december. It retails for $100. And the new Walking Dead TP came out yesterday.

I used to buy a bunch of comics every week. Right up until the end of July. Various titles, mostly DC, Dark Horse, and a few Dreamwave (before it died). Also a lot of manga.
Then I had to move to Cornwall. The ass-end of Canada. Our only "comic store" is actually a sports-cards/paraphernelia store with a couple of racks of Marvel titles. 
The last comic I got was Serenity #1 (I found 2 & 3 in stores in other towns), online.
I'm gonna start ordering books online, now that I have income. Any suggestions of reliable, wide-selection online stores?
Especially something that carries IDW books; they're starting a new Transformers series.

I'd recommend Mile High Comics. They always do a good job whenever I order from them.

I just thought I would give honorable mention to The Simping Detective, a strip that has been running in the Judge Dredd Megazine over the past year. I REALLY cant stress how good this strip is. The art, the plots, the humor. I honestly think the 2000AD group may have hit gold and created a character that could outshine Dredd.
There wont be anyone more Simping Detective stories until next year but if you have it within your power I would suggest you check it out.

Who do you suppose is in there?

Well, based on your recommendations of 100 Bullets I did some research on it. Now that sounds like MY kind of story. I ordered the first 2 TPBs, hopefully I'll get them this weekend. It also reminded me of another reason I got out of comic books...$$$ But I figure that I can afford to get 2 TPBs a month so that'll get me caught up without killing my bank account.
Are ya happy now?!?!?

Do you think that's something that they might collect and sell as it's own trade paperback? I'd be willing to give it a look.

Hmm, where should I start?
Well, I used to read Astonishing Spider-man when it first started (Its a monthly UK comic which includes 3 issues in one - usually 2 modern issues and a classic). But I gave up when the clone saga went on and on
It was the announcment that Joss Whedon would be writing X-Men that got me reading comics again.
Now I read regularly:
(Marvel)
Astonishing X-Men
Daredevil
The Ultimates 2
The New Avengers
Ultimate Iron Man
Astonishing Spider-man (UK)
the current Spider-man "The Other" 12 part series
Ultimate Spider-man I missed, so I've been buying the graphic novels
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (by Moonstone)
All Star Superman (DC) - Granted only one issues been out so far, but I was impressed enough to want the next one
Angel (IDW)
and you know what, there's probably more
I can't wait for the new Buffy comics by Joss and the next Serenity mini-series of course
Even though I've only started reading comics again for about a year, my favourite Graphic Novels so far are:
Joss Whedon's "Fray" - Superb!
Kolchak: Pain Without Tears - love it to bits
Superman: Secret Identity
Superman: Red Son
and
Daredevil: Guardian Devil
I recently bought V for Vendetta which I'm gonna read next, and the new Ultimate Wolverine Vs Hulk comic by (Alias co-creator) Damon Lindelof
Needy. Male Companion a.k.a. First Boy Whore of Destiny
