Sitting here reading this weeks 2000ad (started when prog 1 first came out and never looked back!) And was wondering what you lot read on a regular basis...
I also get Dark Horses Conan each month (I'm a sucker for Conan comics, always have been) as well as the UK versions of Wolverine/Deadpool and just started on the UK X-Men one as well (used to be a big X-Men fan but House of M killed it off for me...).

**Iron Priest**

I just started reading Spawn online. Pretty good.

**Cheese Elemental**

The Halo Graphic Novels and WH40k comics (currently flipping through Blood and Thunder).

**Kanluwen**

Cheese, you're up to date on the Halo stuff.

What's the deal with the supposed ODST graphic novels?

**LunaHound**

Im interested in following a comic series , the last comics i ever had was thrown away, never bought another again.

**reds8n**

Batman and Robin, and the Blackest Night stuff currently.

I mainly buy graphic novels, just finishing off Y : the last man at the moment, top stuff. Oh, and Fables too, sublimely good.

**Roze**

JTHM (Johnny the homacidal maniac) i love those comics! and Lenore, "the Cute Little Dead Girl"

Ah, you mean Halo: Helljumper. The first two are out already, with the third due this month. One of them (not sure which) has a cameo from John-117 before he was promoted to Master Chief, so I assume it's set sometime before 2552.

**notprop**

Currently reading through Judge Dreed: the complete case files vol #1 - nice bit of nostalga there!

Also regularly read Servants of the Imperium and Ctrl Alt Del online.

Special mention to Watchmen which I first read at the start of this year in the small hours of the morning when my daughter was first born and she didn't sleep for more than 20mins at a time, an absolute god send when you knew she would be up crying again in a little while and couldn't be bothered to go back to sleep! (even the pirate ship guff!). Throughly recommend it but I imagine that there are very few that have not read it here!

**Khornholio**

I used to read 2000AD, Viz, Hate and JLA. My brother was addicted to comics, so I read a lot of his stuff too. Now I only read Lupin III and sometimes Atashin chi.

**Fifty**

I also read 2000AD, and buy a lot of other graphic novels, British, Japanese and American.

Favourites include: Strontium Dog ("Because I Hate You"), Nemesis the Warlock, ABC Warriors (especially the Black Hole Saga), Slaine (especially Bisley's work), Nikolai Dante ("We can't run from who we are, Kolya"), Necropolis, Charlie's War, The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, A few bits of Batman, and favourite of all Akira ("TETSUOOOOOO!").

**Gwar!**

I've read a lot of the Batman Graphic Novels (Sounds so much more mature than "Comics" eh?) but I spend most of my time re-reading Fantasy Novels now, though I did Pick up Book 1 of the Wheel of Time Series.

**Jimi Nemesis**

Most of mine are webcomics.

Least I Could Do, Looking For Group, XKCD, Cyanide and Happiness, Servants of the Imperium, TSOALR when it was still going, Ctrl-Alt-Del when it was still GOOD.

xD thats the exact same as me.

I also follow Order of the Stick, Gone to Ground, Zero Punctuation, Apocalypse Lane and The Nostalgia Critic/Chick

**Anshal**

I read mostly old comics that I buy second hand, but I read a few new ones also. Im currently working my way true all the Preacther series and just started reading Tex Walker witch is the most badass western comic ever

**generalgrog**

I collect Captain America, so I read it occasionally. I stopped reading shortly after they killed him off. I did read the one where he came back(I knew they would bring him back once Bush was gone), but's thats the only one in the last few years.

**Manchu**

I could never catch up with OotS, there're just too many of them.

I've been following Mouse Guard.

The story is so-so but the art is really lovely.

Are the 40k comics any good? I only leafed through the BT one in the stores. Seemed okay.

**MeanGreenStompa**

I used to get 2000AD, Judge Dredd the Megazine, Aliens by Dark Horse and a number of others over the years.

Just Graphic Novels nowadays.

The Authority.

Invisibles.

Anything with Nemesis the Warlock or the ABC Warriors.

Slaine.

and the works of Alan Moore, Frank Miller and Neil Gaiman.

**Lint**

I have pretty good sized comic collection, mostly "Spawn" and the spin-offs. I also really liked "Simon Dark" when it started, but it got a little silly. I got back into "X-men" for the "Messiah Complex" series, but it was too expensive to keep up with 6 different books just to stay with the story.
"The Darkness" is really good too. I prefer my comics more toward the adult end of the spectrum, lot's of violence and lot's of big breasted women wearing skimpy outfits.

**Gwar!**

Oh, I just finished reading the Civil War bumper collection book i borrowed off my brother.

Nice art. And Tony Stark is a dick :p

**Manchu**

Speaking of Dark Horse, I dearly loved Dark Empire and Tales of the Jedi as a wee one.

**FITZZ**

As a youngun back in the 80's I collected a few Marvel/DC comics ( various X-men,Spiderman,Batman etc).
I was also given a lot (about 100) older comics from the late 60's early 70's(mostly Spiderman andCaptain America) by my cousin,that I realy enjoyed simply due to the whole look and feel of the art/stories.
I sort of fell off in the late 8o's (girls/guitars/gigs)but held on to my colection,which unfortunatly drowned & was buried in Huricane Katrina.
I've yet to find anything current that's caught my eye,with the exception of the whole "marvel zombies" run,witch I found fun but silly.
Since my taste run more into "horror" (I loved the old E.C. comics),I'm looking about for interesting "horror/zombie" related books now.

**Manchu**

Everyone goes on about this, Fitzz.

**MeanGreenStompa**

Oh and I got a copy of Marvels sent to me as a present and it's really good.

**Manchu**

Did you like Kingdom Come as well?

Excellent. If I remember right, it's supposed to be Buck's early life, so we'll see where that leads.

However, annoyance: Some of them are saying they're not available till next year

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ack! No wonder, I saw the hardcover edition, which I'm assuming has ALL of the issues in it.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Currently reading 200AD and Viz religiously.

Mate of mine edits The Amazing Spiderman in the UK, and makes the dioramas for the GI Joe comic.

Only just getting back into the comics, following a random purchase of 2000AD (the one with the sex olympics, Zombo, Cradlegrave, and a couple of others) and thoroughly enjoying it!

Graphic Novels I find a bit touch and go. Pricey in the UK, I tend to wait until somewhere has an offer on, then takes leaps of faith. Unless it's Marvel Zombies, which clearly rocks big nads.

**GoFenris**

Calvin and Hobbes

The Far Side

Madman

Sadly I can only enjoy collections. Nothing new

**Black Blow Fly**

Cable, Deadpool, Captain America, Black Lantern series
