Wanted to resurrect this thread, as I have taken the plunge back into comics for about the past year. I was really into comics when I was younger, but stopped reading at some point in high school. I was really into X-Men, and some of it's offshoots like X-Force and Excalibur, and also Batman. I dug out my boxes of comics from my closet at my parents' house and started reading again. I started reading X-Men Classic. The Claremont era is so good. Then, of course, I started getting into some other stuff. I started picking up issues of the Punisher. I got into a lot of Garth Ennis' run with the Punisher (as it was highly recommended) and loved it. Lately, I've been reading through Excalibur (1st series) and filling in gaps of issues I didn't have when I was younger. Nightcrawler has always been my favorite X-man, and it was such an interesting series in the X-men world.
I just read Batman Hush and really enjoyed that as well. I started buying the new Batman '89 miniseries, as I always loved the Michael Keaton Batman movies, and have enjoyed that so far. Going to the comic store by my house to grab a new issue every month has been a nostalgia trip!
Looking back in this thread, has given me some recommendations of other stuff to read next. I think I am going to give Preacher a go next, as I already am into what Ennis has done on the Punisher. I'll check out Sandman and The Walking Dead in the near future too. It really has been fun to get back into comics. My wife had no idea I was and am a comic book nerd
