I don't think we have one of these yet.
Hopefully I'm not the only who reads comics. Aha... So I thought it would be cool to have a comics thread like we do for movies/anime/games. What is everybody reading?
To be honest I'm not really keeping up with anything current as far as monthlies... I find it difficult for me to keep track of a series from one week/month to the next without forgetting about it in the intervening time (the only exceptions being some shows, but even those I tend to let build up and binge at various intervals throughout the season). The only comics I read as they update are Dumbing of Age, which I kind of just found by accident one day, and Cyanide & Happiness. But those update daily... so even though I want to be into other comics like TwoKinds, I don't usually keep up with them and end up just binging through a year's worth of updates on a random weekend.
Right now my "Big Comic" series that I'm working on finishing is something First Comics published in the mid-1980s called "Mars". I picked up an issue at Free Comic Book Day a couple of years ago, and it was interesting enough for me to order the graphic novel collection (in paperback unfortunately... the hardcover is stupid expensive).

It's an interesting scifi tale that isn't very heavy reading, but it covers some interesting concepts (like technology assisting human beings in overcoming physical handicaps). Even though it sometimes strays a little too far into "Acid Trip" territory, I'm actually going to recommend it--particularly to people who are interested in comic books but aren't really into either the manga or superhero scenes.
