I'm not big on superhero books anymore. I'll probably buy the last couple of years of Moon Knight for my collection, but outside of that I have little desire to try and catch up on so much missed continuity. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy capes, but getting back to reading em without being confused as to who is who or what's going on...meh. I'l take a rain check.
For my reading tastes, about the only comics I read regularly are The Goon and a little Hellboy. Outside of those 2, I prefer sci-fi (the grittier the better), fantasy, steampunk, psychological thrillers, and horror. I actually have no preference on settings for those last 2.
Artwork is a major factor in my reading tastes. I don't mind stylized art, but it still has to be good. I can't read a book where the penciller had zero storytelling skills, or there are anatomy issues all over the place. I also prefer color (whodathunkit?), or at the very least greyscale. I'm just not a big fan of pure b&w in modern comics simply because I always end up mentally comparing it with the old Warren mags.

Surfer, dad, creator, jack-of-all-trades (and Art Director, Upper Deck Entertainment)
Fear Agent - A drunken space cowboy exterminator. Everything about that sounds awesome.
100 Bullets - The best crime story I've read. The first trade didn't really catch my attention but by the end of the second I was hooked.
Walking Dead - The best zombie story out there.
Invincible - The best superhero story happening.
DMZ - Follows a journalist through the second American Civil war.
Iron Fist - Only the last two trades that have come out. They don't require you to know a ton of continuity and they were really fun reads of mystic martial arts stuff.
