I stopped reading comics about a year ago. I follow storylines tangentially via KMC. My plan moving forward is to occasionally pick out 1-2 titles from this thread that aren't ongoing, while keeping up with the work of the 2-3 authors that I actually care about (Ellis, Gaiman, maybe 1-2 others). Comics are great, but I was getting so much less out of them that it didn't justify my time.

Easily better than anything Marvel has put out in at least a decade.

Digi, do yourself a favor and pick up "The Twelve" limited series from Marvel. Thank me later.Easily better than anything Marvel has put out in at least a decade.
Cool, thanks. I'll put it on my list. I tend to compartmentalize my endeavors. I'll do nothing but play video games, then stop entirely and do nothing but read, then catch up on TV, then work on ancillary work projects, etc. Next time I rotate around to "read comics" I'll check it out.

Currently... nothing.. .before a great mix between dc (green lantern, superman, batman, jla etc etc) and marvel (captain america, avengers, xmen) no image stuff though .... then around the same time xmen went all phoenix five... the white lantern came about... i just gave up on everything... not sure which one it was... or all of it.. but I just felt like the writers weren't even trying anymore.
Uncanny Avengers is the last mainstream comicbook I'm still following. Which is a shame because there is a GotG comic out there, I blame Bendis.
Also Godzilla, Planet of the Apes and other random goodies catch my eye from time to time.

Start with this trade.
You won't regret it. Also, East of West just started. I just bought the first trade and it's fantastic.
