I was always an art freak. I'd buy anything with Jim Lee|Joe Quesada|Bart Sears|etc and "read" them over and over again. I can still finger through most of my books and remember each frame like it was last week.
I did get into some of the more notable books (Watchmen, Batman: The Dark Night Returns, Marvels), but you had to give me good art/style before I'd read it. I used to think I'd like to be an artist who could write, but now in my old, old age of 28, I'm sure I'd want to be a writer who could draw. (That's where Frank Miller used to take the cake, I'm not sure who does nowadays.) I haven't picked up too many books over the last 10 years. I've swung by the local comic shop a couple times, but I can't handle any more obsessions in my life right now, hence the unfortunate, but unavoidable sale/gift of my collection. I have d/l'ed a good amount of them off of bittorrent, so it's not nearly as depressing as it would have been 10 years ago.

On this as well - one of my favorite traditional comic book characters ever is Aquaman. He's truly one of the most complex characters in the DC universe but rarely gets his due props. The Peter David run on that book was brilliant (well... the Peter David run on nearly any book is brilliant) and the new series is surprising me as well. I just wish ANY of the new "Doom Patrol" series were any good... even John Byrne seems unable to resurrect them properly.
