What comics are you all reading? What do you think?

Currently reading weeklies: The Phoenix Comic, and Spirou. The Phoenix mainly because it features the often insanely funny Bunny Vs. Monkey strip by Jamie Smart and Spirou because I just love Franco-Belgian comics and my family bought me subscription for my birthday. It's improving my French no end.
 
Marvel: All the X-men titles currently, including Marauders, X-force, X-factor.

DC: I read almost everything in the main continuity as it is released each week. Occasionally I'll dip into a title from black label or wonder imprints. Young Justice and Hellblazer for example.
 
I picked up From Hell in the library today. In German. I'm not German but I'm learning the language.. Wish me luck!

Reading comics in another language is a great way to learn. I read almost nothing but French/Belgian comics these days - though I did buy a copy of Little Nemo In Slumberland Deluxe Edition

in the first big, proper, grown-up bookshop I have been able to visit for a year. I'm a great fan of the originals by Windsor McCay and I was slightly doubtful when I picked this up, wondering whether another piece of my childhood was about to be shat on by charlatans, but I was pleasantly surprised; it's an utterly delightful book that captures the feel of the originals and adds to it and plays the sort of perspective and frame stretching inventiveness of McCay within the smaller confines of a modern comic book page. He had whole broadsheet newspaper pages to play in; modern comic books are tiny by comparison.

It also uses what is becoming one of my favourite comic book artsy tricks with double page-palindromic spreads.

I have great memories of reading Tintin as a kid. I recently had to shift places and happened to find an old carton with my Tintin comics -it was super nostalgic, and I've been going through them.
