Style of Comics You Read
Spectacular Sameth:
Most of my American comic collections are superheroes:
Iron Man
Spider-Man
Batman
Fantastic Four
The Tick
Teen Titans
X-Men
But I've got like two or three non-superhero ones such as Bone. Bone (for those of you uncultured bastards who don't know) is a fantasy series by Jeff Smith about three cartoon-looking characters getting kicked out of their village and end up in a battle between the humans and the rat creatures. Very good stuff. It has some "OH SH!T!" moments and some funny moments. I also read a few Star Wars books, but nothing that lacks Boba or Jango Fett.
But typically if I'm going to buy American, then it's usually got a super powered person in it...or someone who fights using technology (Batman or Iron Man.)
And I've got quite a collection of manga. About 120 volumes. Mostly what's referred to as "Shonen," which appeals to the younger male audience...I've got a series about bounty hunters, a series about American Football, etc.
Mostly I read action related comics, both American and Japanese. My excuse is that if I wanted something deep, I'd pick up a novel. Comics/manga being a visual medium, I want something to happen.
Dresden Files, though I prefer the novels, fit my criteria, except I really don't pick up many comic adaptions of books or movies. I made an exception because I like The Dresden Files enough.
Edit: I'd like to say: most of what I've read of Fantastic Four and X-men is the Ultimate line.
Uilos:
To be honest, I read mainly graphic novels, collections of issues and so on. This is mainly due to two factors: The stores around me were flaky about issues and I developed a lack of patience in waiting. If the story was good enough, I'd wait for the GN
This has changed lately, mainly due to the Dresden Files, but also because of the Batman RIP arc. The other main contributing factor is that I've discovered Midtown Comics in Manhattan, and I frequent it often
Chuck Chuck Razool:

-The Dark Tower series.
-The Stand
and I'm currently borrowing the trades of 100 bullets from my buddy Sam.
exorcisingemily:
Anything by Neil Gaiman, plus I am a shameless Marvelite almost despite Marvel.
I'm one of the fans that reads it and yells at the comic for mistreating my characters. Which I can only assume is worse than yelling at the television.
Wolfhowls:
High Moon
OPSEC
Two online comics I like.
Dark Reign:Secret Warriors (Wiki-Link), the Deadpool (Wiki-Link)comics and Dark Reign: Dark Avengers (Wiki-Link) are probably the best Marvel comics out this year.
Oh and Secret Invasion
I also like Dark Horse comics Hellboy and B.P.R.D
