Style of Comics You Read
Electric MacButters:
Personally, I've gone almost completely online with my comics. They include:
Girl Genius- an incredible steampunk vision
Looking for Group (LFG)- a comedic adventure about a blood elf who wants to be a hero
Order of the Stick (OotS)- the godfather of DnD webcomics
Goblins- the tale of a group of survivors of a PC raid on a goblin war camp who decide to become PCs themselves to protect the tribe.
Gunnercrieg Court- it plays the plot close to its chest, but it involves diplomatic relations between nature and high technology.
That's all I can remember right now, but I'm sure there are more.

X-factor and Deadpool are the best books being published right now in my opinion. Huge Peter David fan, he always delivers.
Thor has been awesome since he came back (loved when he beat Iron Mans ass in #3). Fraction is taking it to a whole new level right now.
Secret Avengers, also awesome. Brubaker does no wrong. Captain America consistently rocks hard.
And of course i still love New Avengers, no matter what anyone says! Bendis is awesome, cant wait to see what him and Maleev cook up for Moon Knight. Should be epic!
And yeah i pretty much only read superhero comics. Its what i grew up on. I will always be Marvel all the way.
(but i do have a soft spot for Batman... he should totally be a Marvel character...)
Compass Rose:
Started reading comics (basically DC and Marvel - never cared for Archie & Co.) back in the early 1970s (when I got hooked on the X-Men, not only were the #s in double digits, but that was before Wolverine showed up and they had just gotten the costumes / uniforms that replaced those sucky blue/yellow jumpsuits they started out with...) Basically dropped out of reading comics regularly in the late 1980s for two main reasons - 1) plotlines started repeating all over the place, and 2) I was out in the real world, security police officer in the USAF, and seeing far too much real world dark stuff. At that point in time the 'anti-mutant' doom-and-gloom period was starting to take hold in comics. I didn't mind a LITTLE bit of doom-and-gloom, but there was a while when they almost all gloried in wallowing in it. Shortly thereafter found anime and manga (this was before commerical translations were readily available.) Still read a few of the manga, particularly "Five Star Stories" and "Bio Booster Armor Guyver," as well as "K-ON!!" Some of my favorites, like "RG Veda" and "Karula-Mau!" seem to have stopped publishing, sigh. In US comics, mostly read adaptions (Dresden Files, Serenity, Buffy/Angel, some Star Wars, some Star Trek) but look for decent artwork as well as good adaptions/scripts. If the artwork is horrible, I won't pick up more than an issue or two... and for the most part, I prefer graphic novels rather than picking up individual issues. Easier to find/order the graphic novels, too.

Just to echo some others... Invincible is very good. Fables is fantastic. The Boys has tons of gratuitous violence. FreakAngels (Ellis) is a really good free weekly web comic that gets put out in trades too. And I figure that Y the Last Man (Brian K Vaughn) deserves a mention here too...
