I'll admit I'm more for the Manga scene than I am for the standard comics.  I like the fact that there is an end point for the stories eventually.  For the more mainstream gotta be Batman and Green Lantern most of the trades I've bought are those.  On the hate side it's just single titles such as freaking Spiderman

I read mostly manga and online webcomics. I love the freedom of characterization and storytelling that these types of the comicking produces. Especially webcomics! I love these indie stories!

I mean, unlike the overused and overstretched traditional superhero stories/characters that just kept getting resurrected and recycled, these comics utilizes daring new ideas and drawing styles; pushing the envelope of this unique way of storytelling.

Besides, I personally think that the paneling in manga and webcomics are more dramatic and exciting, unlike the mostly static and repetitive frames of traditional American superhero comics, y'know? They're just more fun to read!

Vertigo stuff's not bad, they're the ones who publish Fables right?

I'm not much into comics these days. My last one was Crossgen's Sojourn. I've been collecting the Saiyuki Reload manga series since. Oh, and not to mention my friends' own creation: Mangaholix.

The only new comics I've been into have been the recent rash of Golden Age revival books by Marvel, like The Torch and some of the Sub-Mariner one shots, and occasionally Booster Gold (if I hear good reviews for that particular issue off the forums).

I pretty much gave up on comics altogether at the turn of the millennium. The art was, on the whole, getting progressively worse, and the stories were leaning back into multi-issue plotlines that pulled way too much money from my pocket. I broke that briefly to buy Formerly Known as the Justice League and I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League, but then DC went and killed off practically every character I'd liked, and Superboy-Prime punched reality...

Give me hokey Silver Age books anyday.

I've been reading a lot of The Boys lately. The first issue of Victorian Undead was interesting. And the first two of Atom Eve and Rex Splode have been top notch.

I was sorry to see Crossgen fold. I didn't like everything that they did but they had a few very good titles. I was hoping that Disney would resurrect some of them but apparently not.
