From Marvel:

Ultimate Spider-Man
Ultimate Marvelk Team-Up

From DC:

All Batman titles (except Azrael)
All Superman titles
All animation-based titles
The Flash
Green Arrow
Green Lantern
Impulse
The Legion
JLA
JSA
Orion
The Spectre
Suicide Squad
Titans
Tom Strong
Young Justice

As you can see, I'm a big DC fan. At one point I bought pretty much everything they put out, then I had to cut down to save money. But now I'm buying a whole lot of their stuff again, and even some Marvel (which I was never really into). What does everyone else buy?

I read all the Batman titles, Justice League, Flash, Green Arrow, Tom Strong, Promethea, Astro City, Electropolis, Daredevil, Alias, Rising Stars, and one of my new favorites, Powers. I'm also trying out my first Crossgen title, Ruse.

Separately, I buy TPB forms of Ultimate Spider-Man and the Authority whenever they come out.

I used to read a lot more, but lately I've gotten really into DVDs and don't have the money to spend on comics...

I used to read Archie comics a LOT when I was younger, but I haven't bought any in years. I spend almost all my money on DVDs since I got my player in June, so comics are not high on my to-buy list. But when I do read comics, it's mostly manga (Japanese comics).

Batman: Gotham Adventures, Superman Adventures (for two more issues :mad: ), Harley Quinn, Robin, Justice League Adv., and Batgirl. All, for the most part, awesome books....

There are a few core books I am getting monthly

Amazing Spider Man, Peter Parker, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, New X Men, X Force, Doom Patrol, Powerpuff Girls, the ABC line Alan Moore is doing, JL Adventures, JLA, Simpsons, Cerebus, and I know there are a few more. I've kind of have fallen away from some of the DC titles, but I tell ya, the JL series is really making me reconsider some of those titles. I am paying more attention to some of their titles and trying to figure out a good jumping in place on some of those. Any suggestions you avid DC fans may have, le me know!

I am really curious to see how this new way DC is doing the Superman comics will work out. If they are going to start making Superman and Action Comics more stand alone titles, I think I will finally pick them up.

I also get a few magazines regularly: Dr Who, Comics Journal, Starlog, Wizard, and Wrapped in Plastic.

Do you mean comics that I just read or comics that I buy and read?

:D

Well, I've cut back on most of the comics I buy and read, but I still get New X-Men, Savage Dragon, Green Arrow, Milk and Cheese, and Dork. I skim everything else and put it back on the shelf.

However, I'm buying a lot of trade paperbacks these days (it's cheaper). Recent purchases have included The Authority, The Planetary, and one of these days I'm going to get both Ultimate Spider-Man trades. The Batman: Dark Victory hardcover was really cool too.

I don't currently BUY any books..(cause I'm pretty much broke) but I do read a number of books at Hastings...
I have to say that in my opinion the best book out there right now, is JMS's Amazing Spiderman, and if I ever get the money, that'll be the 1st one I'll order..

Batman 80

When I was younger I used to read alot of Spiderman and Darkhawk comics. I would read Hulk and Silver Surfer on once in awhile too. I also have some of the Marvel Masterworks series of Spiderman and Fantastic Four. Now, all I'm trying to collect as many JL adventures as possible. I also have alot Batman Beyond Issues. I wish I had collected The Superman and Batman animated comics but its probably too late now since their ending. I was thinking about Green Lantern until I saw Kyle change his costume and name.

Just about every other Spider-Man comic
Misc. Batman comics(I usually don't pick up volumes, just the occasional issue)
MAYBE SuperMan...
Scud the Disposeable assasin

I have been faithful to every incarnation of The Batman Adventures (yes...even Gotham Adventures), went off and on with Superman Adventures (I'll miss ya) and bought a few issues of Batman Beyond, just for mild entertainment. I read Archie stuff from time to time, and I've been collecting the Perez run on Wonder Woman. Catwoman has earned a few issues in my room too.

Well, I get Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Batman, Justice League Adventures, and Gotham Adventures every month. I am dropping GA from my pull list and will just start getting it every now and then. I read Superman, Detective, and Robin every now and then. :)

I always meant to pick up Sprectre but the $4.25CAN cover price sort of shyed me away from it. Every new series that DC releases seems ot be $2.50 now. Still hoping Gotham Central won't be...

I read Batman, Detective, Gotham Knights, Catwoman, Gotham Adventures, Superman Adventures, Superman, Man of Steel, Adventure sof Superman, Action Comics, Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Tangled Web, Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men, New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, X-Force, Wolverine, Tangled Web, Robin, Green Arrow, JLA, and Justice League. I read the occasional miniseries (Origin and DK2) and pick up the odd issues of other series now and again.

Wow, some of you it looks like, know a lot about the DC and Marvel worlds! Way cool. I, regretfully, just never had time to read comics, and when I did, it was bought at Toys R Us or the grocery store, and that was like when I was 10, all of 8 years ago,lol. Those were just random Batman comics. What can I say, I just read books too much and do too many activites. ANYWAY,lol, I do read, when I can and love: Nightwing *screams*, infact I was able to pick some more up, which I promptly read all last night^-^
Besides that I've read Gundam Wing and some Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Rurouni Kenshin.

I also should start buying the Ninja Turtles comics again, if I could only find a copy! :(
