| My comic collection is pretty all right. Like AI, I never really got into DC at all--about the only DC books I have are the 'Superman gets dead and then comes back' trades. Batman rules, but only if I'm watching instead of reading.
My favourite Marvel characters are the Punisher and Nick Fury. They're gritty. I don't have many Punisher books (mostly just trades), but I do have the entire comic series of 'Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD' (tracking them all down was a lot of fun).
I was big into some of the X-Men series when I was a lot younger, but I kind of got out a little while after the old 'someone or other goes back in time and kills Professor X' thing back in the mid-nineties--it was getting to be the next thing to a damn soap opera.
Outside of Marvel, I've gotten into Dark Horse's big serii (Sin City, Hellboy, and especially Usagi Yojimbo), and it was pretty much inevitale that I'd snap into their Star Wars stuff, too.
Cerebus rules.
Haven't bought any comics for a while. Trades are usually cheaper and less vulnerable to damage, so I tend to opt for those these days. __________________
