As you can see, I've scaled down my amount of books either due to dislike of certain edicts *cough One More Day* but I still happen to enjoy the great deal of diverse material that's out there. The Avengers, Secret Invasion, Thor, Captain America, Checkmate, Legion of Superheroes by Shooter, Action Comics, Green Lantern have been of great interest to me with the X-titles not trailing to far behind.

Annihilation has been another fantastic event that I can't help but be geeked out at the amount of crazy stuff going on in there. I think it'll be remembered both as a classic and as THE cosmic story for the decades to come. Annihilation Conquest....not so much but fun when it hits it's high notes.

On the DC side, Blue Beetle and Checkmate have been fun reads and I can't remember when was the last time I was excited to read a new Superman book every time it came out. Paul Dini's Detective has been phenomenal (and on time mind you) and consistently beats the pants off of Morrison's Batman which isn't bad or anything but Detective feels like a great mix of current post Infinite Crisis and what made Batman the animated series work so well.

Anyway here's my list of favorite titles:

Marvel books I buy: New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Avengers: The Initiative, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Immortal Iron Fist, Punisher War Journal, Annihilation, New Thunderbolts, New Warriors, Ms. Marvel, The Incredible Herc, Hulk, She-Hulk, The Runaways, Young Avengers, Wolverine, Wolverine Origins, X-Men Legacy, Uncanny X-Men, X-Factor, X-force, Astonishing X-Men
