It's only a matter of time before the mods slide this over to Fantasy & Sci-Fi Books, Movies & TV...
That said, I sort of feel this way about Marvel (not DC though, I've never really liked them). I've been buying everything with Venom and Carnage for a while, but lately some of their other stuff has started to grab me. Namely, Astonishing X-Men has shown that Joss Whedon has yet to do anything disappointing that I've seen so far. Likewise, both the Runaways series and the Livewires miniseries are hooking me in much more than I thought they would. Viva Marvel!

Ultimates are good, Ultimate Spider-man has been steady for over 70 issues. New Avengers has me waiting impatiently each month and Squadron Supreme has me wondering where they are going.
Dc with their brain washing, the return of the original (sorta) Green Lantern and other stuff- It's a good time to be a reader.
Hope we don't get moved.

Been a long while since I read comic books, but recently, I am enthralled by Dark Horse Comic series, Samurai: Heaven and Earth.

Lately I've really been enjoying the Punisher graphic novels by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. I've already read the first two, and will probably be purchasing the other 3 soon.

I haven't bought comics regularly in about a decade, but I still read a lot of 'em.
I have to agree with the Ultimate Universe line (Marvel)- very, very good.
Also, I'm a big fan of Powers and the Authority.

heh, i gotta say i like this thread! Last time i gamed i got heckled for being a geek, due to my obsesive comic collecting. 
Nothing like the pot calling the kettle black! 
Anyway, right now my i'm really loving Dark Horses Conan series. It has yet to be unimpressive.
On the superhero front, i'm totally hooked on new Avengers, anything Ultimate, and a lot of the X-men stuff. Wolverine, Cable/deadpool, and exiles deserve mention. Age of Apocolpse has been great and House of M looks to be really good. I would also second a vote for Runaways. I'm really enjoyiong the "second season" a lot (even tough it's only on issue 2.) Supreme power, amzing spider-man, Strange, Daredevil, Hulk(yay! peter david!),and thunderbolts are also very good.
Over at DC, they have some really great stuff brewing too, Identity crisis was cool, as well as Greeen Latern rebirth. Countdown to the infiante crisis has me really pumped for whats coming down the pike. my favorite on goings over there are, Superman/batman, Teen titans, outsiders, Legion of superheroes, green arrow, and batman. Aquaman's been decent, as has the flash, birds of prey, batgirl, and robin.
I get damn near everything marvel publishes, and a lot of DC. :\

My budget won't allow me to get more than about six titles a month now (at 3 dollars apiece who can!)
Last night when I got off from EN World I was thinking about the comicbooks and DnD. In Strikeforce: Morituri I have a near direct copy of Captain America (Roger Stevens aka the Captain) leading a group that includes Jean StormWeilder (Storm) and my namesake Megamania along with traditional DnD type characters.
An Eberron story I scratched at the last moment, I had a character known as the Silver Crimson. He was a Batman / Daredevil type with fighter and Psychic Warrior powers.
Then...then I remembered my Adventurers DnD game I set up for a con a few years ago. Using Hero Clix, I created the Adventurers (Avengers) using a straight forward DnD world. It was neat coming up with the concepts and how to make their powers work. The Adventurers went from 14th level to 22nd level (Black Widow to Thor) and includes classes or fighter, barabarian, rogue, Sorcerer, psion, Psychic warrior and others.
Perhaps it is time to upgrade to 3.5 and relaunch it....?
Ah the memories.

DnD pays homage to Comicbooks-
A 25th level fighter / psychic warrior with grafted wrist razors is attacked by a psion. His memories are altered and now he has an alignment of CG to CE. Said group then unleash him into the world of the harpers or other do goodies to destroy. Your Epic Level party must stop him, take him alive and return him to being himself. On the way uncover a grand plot to brainwash other powerful adventurers to join the bad guys.
After a powerful cleric of chance becomes mad, an organization of epic level heroes are attacked and forced into breaking up as they can not decide how to handle the situation. From this group, the leaders form a new team.
Sooooo many possibilities.....
