You and I have swapped on this one before, I think, so I'll just mention (for the others) that I used to hit the stores religiously during the 90's, but, probably in about 2001, I started pulling back because of a lotta little reasons. In short, after reading books for around 30 years, I just saw a lot of storylines blending together a bit, mirroring one another, and then somewhat morphing into a contemporary metrosexual take on life. I'm not interested so much in the "hero finding himself" stories as others are; I can dig a good origins story, but there has to be some really compelling reason for me to start up with any new characters. I started reading, mostly, graphic novel collections, and I've been able to make my peace with that. Title-wise, I'm all over the map, though Superman and Batman have always (and will always) remain favorite central characters.
