I collect the original MIB Men In Black comics. There's just a bunch because too, theres the pre-movie and then the post-movie comics done in an older, edgier style.
I also collect Harley Quinns!

Well, I get Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Batman, and JL Adventures every month. I'll occasionally get some other DC titles, but I don't read Marvel.

Awesome list there Kid Flash! Alas, I only collect one comic....at the moment at least, and that's Nightwing. I've always wanted to be big in collection certain comics, like Batman, Robin, BOP, X-men, etc., but the nearest comic stores are just so far away and I'm always spending my money on just about everything else :rolleyes: . As I get better at this I'll probably start expanding into BOP, and who knows what else.

Heh, yeah, it's always scary for me to post it because it forces me to remember that three years ago I was only buying one comic a month. Then it went to two. Then five. Now it's at...29 (25 in August!), and that's where all my money goes. It's kinda sad, but there's just too much good stuff out there!

At the moment I collect: Flash, JLA, JSA, Daredevil, Rising Stars, Poison Elves, core Superman and Batman titles, Crusades, Orion, Impulse, Young Justice, Green Arrow, Doom Patrol, Suicide Squad, Tom Strong, Punisher, Legion, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and DC Animated titles.
Quite a few I guess, mostly DC. Yep, the very sight of money in my wallet offends me. ;)
Books I'd advice checking out (if your tastes are anything like mine...and they probably aren't): JSA, Flash, Orion (or I would, unfortunately being cancelled), Legion, Tom Strong, and Detective/Batman are generally okay.
Books I've recently dropped or considered dropping: Titans, Superman books (not really but I should), Spectre, Hunter: Age of Magic, Birds of Prey, Nightwing, Catwoman, and Daredevil. (in other words - not advised in my book, but then what do I know?)

I buy all of the Bat titles but Bird's of Prey and Nightwing. I am also interested in the upcoming Transformers book.

Hmm this list used to be a ton longer but I just dropped most of the heroes return books and Uncanny and New X-men. Here it goes:
Adventures of Superman
Action Comics
Superman
Superman: The Man of Steel
Amazing Spider-Man
Peter Parker: Spider-Man
Nightwing
JL Adventures
Green Arrow
The Ultimates
Battle Chasers (if it ever comes out again :( )
Usually try and pick up:
Batman (McDaniel is incredible!)
Detective Comics
JLA
Ultimate Spider-Man
Ultimate X-men (altho both of these are easier to read on the web :D)
Ultimate Team-Up
Books I miss
X-Man - incredible character with great potential, until Ellis got a hold of him that is
Aztek - dang, dang and dang - Morrisson killed a great character
Maverick - followed the adventures of the other Weapon X guy, good stuff
Battle Chasers (when is the book finally going to be out again?)
Uncanny and X-men - these titles are virtually dead to me, I can't get into these titles anymore for some reason - altho is there any truth to the rumor of Ron Garney coming aboard one of the titles?
A.D.A.M. - I seriously doubt anyone will remember this character
There are tons more that I can't think of right now but I do know I want the upcoming Transformers and I need to track down the GI Joe books that just came out.
-Joe!

Books I miss:
Excalibur - Especially the older issues with Alan Davis. They were fresh, amusing and diverse. I'm a big Captain Britain fan too. I thought he was a distinctly English character. Big, sexist drunk... ;)
X-Factor - Wonderful title. Enjoyable at the start with the old X-Men team - fun in the middle with the arrival of ship and X-Men team ups, great in it's revamp with Strong Guy and Havoc... then, well, it died. Pity. Shame.
Deaths Head (The ORIGINAL) - No one liked him, yes? Except me. His stupid tusks and superhero cameos made him a fun, violent and ultimately stupid bounty hunter. Bet none of you remember him, yes?

Well, I remember Death's Head. He was pretty ridiculous but I liked him a lot better than the crappy reboot.
Books I miss:
Uncanny X-Men: And all the other X-titles before Claremont left and things were reshuffled to consistently suck henceforth. I used to love X-Men and particularly Wolverine. I haven't been able to stand any these titles in years though, despite occassional attempts to return to the fold.
The Tick: Some of my very favorite comics. I've never forgiven the much less funny cartoon for causing the series to abruptly end.
G.I. Joe: The old series by Larry Hama was one of my all time favs despite some very bad writer choices made in its later issues. So far the new comic hasn't got my attention like the better issues of the old.
Hourman: I guess I was one of the few who actually liked robot Hourman and his series. I was genuinely sorry to see them have to rush a wrap up because of cancellation.

What I used to collect .. I was a Marvel-Junkie .. "Not-Brand Echh !!" was my cry to the world .. I was up to 25 monthly books .. and it had me broke ..
Then the Lord invented the ... Mini-Series .. and I had to have them also .. not just one copy .. many many many copies ..
Now 20 years later I have a collection of over 5000 single issues ..
MAKE MINE MARVEL !!!
Thank goodness the madness ended .. now when I sell them I will have a down payment on a house ..LOLOLOLOLOLOL !!!

You do know they're still publishing new Tick comics, right? For about 5 years now, at least, I'd say. It's even in color now. However, that jacks up the price to $4 an issue, and that's just too much for me.

Well, I know some new stuff was released shortly after the cartoon, sort of like like holiday specials. They were by different writers though and fairly low quality in comparison to the original run. More like the cartoon.
If Ben Edlund has started writing the title again though, then I was unaware of it. I suppose its possible since I haven't paid much attention to the character lately. I guess I'll have to check it out (but $4 an issue sounds like pretty heavy price gouging IMO).
