Just curious if any MacRumorer's read comics and/or manga. If so what do you read? What are you reading? What are you ordering for the future? What is that one issue you really want?

Currently reading One Piece. Previous ones I've read are Shaman King and Yuyu Hakasho.
Started collecting US comics when I was 12yo and recently came back to that by chance. Funny that both Marvel and DC both rebooted their universes also recently so it's kinda easy to come back.
Definitely a good time to come back! I recently just started. I bought a lot of the DC New 52 Volume 1 trade paperbacks and a few of the Marvel Now Volume 1's also.
I was always a Marvel guy but got interested in DC now as well (being older = more open minded ) so I follow the Forever Evil cross-over (as well as Marvel's Infinity) to get an idea.
DC pulls would be, besides those Forever Evil issues: Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Green Arrow (mostly because I like Andrea Sorrentino) and Batman Superman (which I will cancel when Jae Lee jumps ship). Some Vertigo Stuff as well. I haven't read the best about the New 52 from lots of DC fans but I'm clueless since I have nothing to compare it. Think it's mostly because of the continuity which shouldn't really bother you when just started to follow. You should check out the forum of comicbookresources. I'm new there, too. wee tee's the name over there.
And I haven't found any Marvel I like! Weird. If you're good with non-superhero comics, those others I mentioned in my prior post are really really good.
I can't get into Animal Man, haven't read Swamp Thing (but last I left Animal Man he was headed to meet Swamp Thing so nope!), Green Arrow didn't seem that interesting to me, and I've never been a Superman guy. For some reason the crazies of Gotham are my thing...
Actually I agree, most of those series I've mentioned are completely new to me too! Batman got kind of worn out though. I too am not interested in Superman, but my favorite artist has to be supported!
re Animal Man: fully agree. Got it because of some recommendations and would have stopped it because of the reason you stated, but they changed the artist to the better so I'll give it some more time to build up. I actually like the Before Watchmen series which just finished. Ozymandias is exquisit (also Jae Lee).

I personally have moved as I got older to more independent publishers.
If you want a tip for a good Marvel Title try Runaways writer Brian K Vaughan.
He also writes Saga which you also like.
Locke & Key is one of the best comics out there, Joe Hill is of course the son of Stephen King, so it does sit in the genes.
I agree, the mainstream series I pull now do provide some nice nostalgic moments but aren't exactly great. I won't get them for very long I guess. I do wonder if you know The Wake? And if yes what do you think?
Yeah I have the Runaways. I don't dislike Marvel as a company by any means. I just don't have any caring for their main properties like Fantastic Four, Avengers, Spider Man, or X-Men.
@Happybunny, no it's not. The Wake (series I talked about) is published by Image. If you're that much into comics I'd definitely recommend you a look at it, it's highly addictive! Can't provide any links right now but reviews are great as well.
Pulling some Vertigo ones as well, thumbs up from me too.
Agreed about Marvel, I've always been a Spidey guy, but there is actually not a single series I'm interested in now. I'd recommend Remender's Uncanny Avengers though.
Just back home.

How far are you in One Piece? I've got the first volume and read it. Enjoyed it quite a bit but haven't purchased further items quite yet.
Forgot to add the following:
TPB:
Rubicon (modern spin on the seven samurai's story)
68' Jungle Jim series. Pretty graphic and the story is good to boot!
Used to read the following but haven't in a while:
Vampirella
Lady Death
Evil Ernie
American Vampire
.
I just love reading and rereading stuff, even the ****** 90's Image era.
