-uncanny X-men: haven't cared about X-men in years but it's actually getting interesting again. northstar kicks ass. New X-men still doesn't interest me as much....may have something to do with Frank Quitely's art

Like the stuff we create on this side of the ocean. I know I'm not the only one here that reads "normal" comics. What are some of your favorites? Feel free to exbound...
Some stuff I'm into:
Anything Brian Ralph makes. (Cave In, Climbing Out)
JTHM (Just like everyone else)
The Red Star - I swear I can't give these books enough praise. I've never seen a book that looked and felt like watching a movie in this literal of a sense. The story isn't lacking in any department either. Check this out...
Goodbye, Chunky Rice - Chuck Thompson
Really, just about anything 'Top Shelf' puts out.
Andi Watson does some really good stuff (Slow News Day).
The Sandman - I don't think I need to explain this one...
I forget the fellows name, but the book is called 'Flood.' It's only pictures, with a minimal amount of text in the end. Really creative.
Who else...?
Boo, Hiss.

Alot of the "one of" stuff from Fantagraphics Books is good

Frank Miller
The Tick books
Eric Larson
Uhm...yea, thats about it. I'll list specific titles and such later, but right now I'm multi-tasking like crazy.
Right now, all I am reading is "Out There", pretty good so far. I need to out and get somemore stuff.
Also, I cant get enough of re-reading "Kingdom Come".
"I see the world didn't end yesterday."
"Are you sure?"
Stormwatch: Team Achilles
Bone
Liberty Meadows
Midnight Nation
Shonen Jump (best bang for buck on the market)
Hellboy
Never under any circumstance scrutinize the mastication orifice of a gratuitous herbivorous quadruped.
I think this would be better in Sound Off but anyway:
Alias
Ultimate Spider-Man
Amazing Spider-Man
Ultimates
Uncanny X-Men
Ultimate X-Men
Avengers
Thor
Exiles
Black Panther
100 Bullets
JSA
JLA
Daredevil
Stormwatch Team Achilles
The Flash
Green Arrow
GI Joe
Batman
Extreme X-Men
God damn, that's alot. On any given week I'll pick up a random book from a smaller publisher, or a self published book that catches my eye.
www.classic-games.net updated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
There were a couple big comic book threads in Sound Off, the monthly one keeps popping back up. Anyways, I just bought Creature Tech.

I've liked some of Vasquez's stuff in the past, but JTHM is complete crap.
I (casually) read...
-
Stray Bullets
Sandman
SPX releases
some Marvel Essentials
the occasional Fantastic Four
and of course...
-
Watchmen
lots of Frank Miller
Maus
I borrowed JTHM from a friend and I didn't like it either. "oooh, johnny kills someone! weeee!"
pwned by Ivan
The book really isn't about him killing people; that's just what draws the kiddies in. It's really about Vasquez trying to find a place for himself in the world. Johnny is the same way. At least that's what I get out of it, from the interviews and context... :/
Boo, Hiss.
