I forgot to mention The Walking Dead. I've been getting the trades for those as I like to read 8 issues at a time. It started out dark, and just keeps getting darker. Very cool, and creepy.

The Lone Ranger (The new ones Dynamite does)

Kingdom Come (BEST GN EVER)

Amazing X-Men (Second best GN ever)

Serenity Better Days (more polished and cannon than TLB, imo)

Ultimate Spiderman (Socially awkward teen who read them through highschool, connecting with Parker's socially awkward nerdiness)

300 (Frank Miller is da man)

Pride of Bagdad (Tragic and moving)

Unless there's a Serenity comic out, I hit the store once a month... when Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic comes out.

It is, in my opinion, the best of the Star Wars titles, and if you read the dialogue, it's quite possible that Miller (the writer) is a Firefly fan. At the very least, he seems to be a fan of Whedon-style characterization and continuity.

While I normally don't read comics, a friend recommended that I read The Long Halloween. It's a Batman TPB, and one of the bigger sources of inspiration for The Dark Knight. As a non-comic fan, I'm really digging it. If you are a Batman fan and haven't read it, I sugguest it.

And of course I have Those Left Behind. Got Better Days on pre-order. (I like to wait until the TPB)

Oh yeah, and I have some of 88MPH's Ghostbusters run (Still missing an issue) and a chunk of the early Stargate SG-1/Atlantis comics back when I thought I'd collect them. Sadly, those comics never really held me - but the Ghostbusters story was cool.

When I was a kid of 10-12 it was DC Comics with Batman, Superman and Flash.

Later, as a teen, it became Marvel with Spidey, X-Men, Thor and Daredevil.

Now, of course, its Serenity.

Shiny! Let's be bad guys!

As a teenager, I flitted back and forth between 2000AD and Marvel.

2000AD:
Psi Judge Cassandra Anderson was (and still is) my favourite character. Although, I also loved Strontium Dogs, Dredd, Nikolai Dante and Durham Red.

Marvel:
Death's Head II and Tuck. Mostly the classics: Spiderman, The X-Men and the lesser appreciated 'X-Force.'

There was a Marvel UK comic book series from '92, called 'Digitek', which rocked in my books. It was beautifully rendered, and the story was edgy and mature.
