i don't really read any comics anymore. i'm down to a couple. Stray Bullets by Dave Lapham and anything by Frank Miller. i used to be into a lot of Image comics, mainly Savage Dragon and surrounding titles. I'll still pick up the occasional vertigo/dc title. but marvel is a really crappy company nowadays. the only books they have worth reading are X-statix by Milligan and Allred and Punisher by Ennis and Dillon. i don't buy batman, but i've noticed the batman titles, artwise, are looking REALLY good. i basically read comics for the art, not the resale value or just to collect and accumulate them.
