I just bought the latest JSA book (Thy Kingdom Come pt3) and a Sandman book.
I read Full Metal Alchemist on One Manga. I think I will start collecting the books once I have some space for it.

Yeah...Comics are my life pretty much. Gail Simone is my favorite writer.

[Peppermint_M]

Fables is great. I recently borrowed book 10 (The Good Prince) from the Library and I have read book 1 and some of Jack of Fables. I'm glad the writers have been given JSA to work with, because they can craft a fantastic story.

I havent read it for a while but I loved TINTIN as a kid
Still do but havent read on for a while, but might brush the dust of one tonight
Also they are making a movie soon as well

[Eilif]

I don't follow any particular comics, but I do pick up the odd graphic novel from time to time.
Most recently:
Most of the Tintin Series. (Comic book or graphic novel?)
Watchmen
Road to Perdition


I also follow the various comics at Brickzone.

I just tend to re-read the 3 decent instalments of my own comic, Vince Broker and Eggman.

[Batbrick]

Just picked up The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 1 by Alan Moore, and really enjoyed it. Will definitely pick up volume 2 shortly.

Batbrick Away!

Ooh, great thread, I'm always looking for new webcomics to read. Here are the ones I have bookmarked:

Order of the Stick
Cat and Girl
Sinfest
Freefall
White Ninja

[Oky]

Hm, I seem to have missed this thread too. Let's see...

I just got three volumes of Uncle Scrooge by Don Rosa from my sister for Christmas. I'm a huge Don Rosa fan. Too bad they don't print his stuff anymore. I loved Scrooge and the gang ever since I watched DuckTales as a kid, and Rosa's comics are very well written and drawn, and they have really fleshed out Scrooge's character.

I also follow the Star Wars: The Clone Wars webcomic. It's surprisingly good compared to the TV show!

And I still read some Garfield and Gary Larsen every now and then.

And I have also recently "read" the Simon's Cat book, if that counts. I love the cartoons, but the book was kinda "meh" because it reminded me too much of Garfield. Still nice though.

As a kid, I read the entire Asterix and Tintin collection. That was some great stuff. Unfortunately the latest Asterix comics suck, and there has been nothing new from Tintin for a while, but I'm very excited for Spielberg's Tintin movies!

[Peppermint_M]

My list has changed! I have added

Hark! A Vagrant

Escape from Terra (on Bigheadpress.com)

and removed quite a few, for getting boring/wierd/annoyingly immature.

Hark! A Vagrant is like xkcd but for history and Escape from Terra is a SF series concerning colonies in space.

Nice thread revival!

I used to be a Marvel zombie, but quit 15 years ago and stuck to indies.  About two years ago I started buying some trades, because I heard they'd gotten actual writers working for them.  By far the best was the Captain America Omnibus, which ends with the (highly-publicized) death of Captain America.  Fantastic book.  And I really liked Joss Wheden's Astonishing X-Men.  The other men-in-tights book I really liked was Grant Morrisson's All-Star Superman.  It made a character that bores the heck out of me seem really interesting.  

Last year, I read through all of Y, the Last Man, and was completely satisfied.  The author is now a writer for the show Lost, since season 4 (ie. when it got good again), so if you like Lost, this book might hook you in.

Overall though, I like the stuff written and drawn by one person.  The stuff I bought last year:
Asterios Polyp - possibly the best comic I've ever read, about a divorced architecture professor.
George Sprott - a fictional biography of a small town Canadian television personality.
Acme Novelty Library - every issue/book is perfect.

Currently I'm reading R.Crumb's full adaptation of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, beautiful, beautiful book.

Waiting in the wings is the massive 800+ page auto-biography of underground Tokyo manga artist, Yoshihiro Tatsumi, A Drifting Life, about when he was an up and comer, in the 60's.  Looking forward to it, but it's a real tome, and will take time to get through.

[Big Cam]

Well let me step back about 20 years and I'll let you know what I used to collect.

X-Men
Cable
Superman

and lots of random ones that I can't remember.  I never did find my old comics, I'm not quite sure what ever happened to them. I'd love to find them, and sell them for LEGO money.

[Dunjohn]

I gotta admit: I despise the superhero comics genre in particular, and since it's so pervasive, it's tainted my opinion of comics in general. So I don't read many. That said, I have read a few.

I went through an X-Statix phase a few years ago, it was almost a parody of the superhero genre but eventually became just another part of it.

Years and years ago, I read Marvel Heroes Reborn and collected every issue. It's largely due to that series that I now hate superhero comics, but while I understand that the guy behind it isn't exactly respected in the industry, I still see it simply as a magnification of what I don't like about them, not as an exception to the rule.

I read Watchmen when the movie came out (though I didn't see the movie). I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It's good, it deserves its reputation, but I just read it once and moved on, mission accomplished.

I don't read much manga anymore, but I used to. The last series I read right through was Death Note, which was excellent up until you-know-what happened and still good after that. I liked Sgt. Frog until it jumped the shark. I don't normally go for shoji stuff but I loved Mahoromantic and read the whole thing.

I don't really read any dailies regularly, though Dilbert's good. I also really like Pooch Cafe and Garfield but they're in newspapers I hate reading, so I don't see them much. Historically, my fave would be Calvin & Hobbes.

Webcomics, none.

Ah yes, I forgot about C&H. I read some of those too, and they're pretty good.
You know, you can always read the Garfield strips on the official website. Just bookmark it, and hit it up every once in a while, like I do.

[prateek]

I read a lot of different things.
Marvel, mostly Spiderman and X-Men, maybe Iron Man
Sometimes DC like Batman, not Superman though
Any Star Wars I can get hold of
Newspaper strips
Sometimes Calvin & Hobbes
Any other comics that seem interesting.

I am very good fan af donald stories written by Carl Barks / Don Rosa, also Calvin and Hobbes and Garfield.
I have also the Carl Barks Complete.

[Trexxen]

I'm reading through the Watchmen "graphic novel" currently, and it's amazing - even better than the film (which is a high compliment from me, even though I expected it would be as such - film adaptations rarely live up to the source material, unfortunately.).

Aside from that, the only normal comic I enjoy is Calvin and Hobbes - most superhero-style comics I don't care for, although I do like to be versed in their lore just so that I can know something about them.    I read a ton of webcomics though, I'll list a few of them:

-Looking For Group
-Planet Zebeth (Metroid Sprite Comic - unfortunately, it looks as if it's slowing down now, but back during its heyday it was amazing)
-Slightly Damned
-Cyanide and Happiness

There's a ton more, but those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head. =P

I read simple japanese mangas because I am learning japanese and it helps a lot to learn sentence patterns and words.

[VBBN]

Pretty much any Batman comic relating to Two Face.  

[Corvus]

I'm more of a funnies person. I read them each morning over a bowl of cereal. My favorite is Calvin and Hobbes, but unfortunately, my paper doesn't run it.  

As for webcomics, I only read one so far- xkcd.

I would love that.  I have some Rosa books, like the Life of McDuck, but the only Barks I have are the odd Gladstone reprint from the 90's.  That would be a good investment.

For the others mentioning dailies, Calvin & Hobbes is great, the art, the writing, the pacing.  It's a shame Watterson retired.   But I'm surprised to see Garfield fans.  It seems really generic and repetitive to me.  Plus, Garfield is a Republican
