Any of you into comics??? I have been an avid collector for quite a few years now. Mostly into the Marvel and Max titles, favorites are Captain America and the Punisher.

The new Punisher is BRUTAL!!!! I love it more than liquor

Yeah, I love comics. I started reading Batman after seeing Batman Begins (brilliant movie) and things took off from there. Favorites are The Dark Knight Returns, The Long Halloween, and V for Vendetta. Still getting off the ground, don't have too many yet.

Dark Knight Returns was okay but my favorite Batman is The Killing Joke, it has a very sick dark storyline with some of the best Batman artwork I have ever seen. It will set you back $15 - $20, but it is well worth it

Ah I JUST finished reading the Dark Knight Returns and the Dark Knight 2. Great, great series! My favorite series has to be Kingdom Come. I looooooooove comics. I am a largely loyal to DC though, Supes is my favorite hands down. I'm a classic lover. But Marvel hasn't flown under my radar :P

I don't find the DC characters as easy to get into. I haven't found a Batman storyarc that I like yet, I have heard good things about the Vertigo titles however I am apprehensive about shelling out my hard earned on any

Seconded, personally i think DC blows I mean they could do really well but they only seemed to care about batman and superman. They did a comic book the watchmen which was awesome as hell thats probaly my favorite next to spiderman.

I've been trying to find the Killing Joke for a while, the only places I can ever find it are amazon (price is outrageous, **** that) and eBay, which is where I'll probably end up picking it up, one of these days.

Crowquill-Watchmen is excellent indeed. I don't know what they "focus" on most, but DC has a ton of non-Batman/Superman stuff. Check out the stuff on their Vertigo label, there's a lot of quality material in there (V for Vendetta, Sandman, Preacher, etc.).

I know they do, but they only seem to populize on those two series. Batman is good but superman is a totally lame comic.
