Yup, I do. My absolute favorite is Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. (Yay for mindless violence!!) I also like Squee, Calvin and Hobbes, Bone, Peanuts, Simpson comics, etc...
I used to read comics, mostly Marvel stuff, when I was younger, but I stopped reading a long time ago. I used to have a pretty valuable collection too, until a certain Siberian Husky had her way with it... that bitch.
I tried getting back into it not too long ago with Marvel Civil War. It was decent, but for some reason I just stopped reading after a while. My first time reading any Deadpool was in that and I liked him, he's funny. I might try reading some of his comics.
Other than that I read the occasional newspaper strip, but only if I happen upon one. I also follow a few web comics; Penny Arcade, Ctrl-Alt-Del, 8-bit Theater and VG Cats.

way too much dilbert, and all sorts of random independent ones.
currently: hellboy
I don't buy those or anything, but if I see one and feel like I've got some spare time, why not?

This is an Asian comic site. North American comics is what this discussion is about.

Lately, I've been reading Powers, Bomb Queen, The Walking Dead, Fables, Spider-man(man, I hate Brand New Day) I've also got a backlog of X-men comics from the last several years that I gotta read through, Gen13, and WildC.A.T.S.
Is powers any good?
The biggest problem I've been hearing about it on the net is they dislike the art. Which is not bad, its just a different style from many western comics. That said, its a very interesting take on superhero comics. When I first read it, I happened to have requested it at the library without knowing what it was. I'd do it again .v.

I only read comics if they catch my eye or if they are related to something else, such as a book or TV series. That said, the only ones I've completed are Serenity (based on the Firefly TV series), The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born (based on the Dark Tower novels), 300 and Watchmen. Hard to get into the major superheroes since the authors change over time and so many different storylines. Way different than manga, which is generally one storyline per series and one author/team.

On-topic: I don't really read any NA-comics. o__o Only one I still like now is Requiem. It's about Hell and all that. xD

I learned to read from comics, and I'm still an addict. I read everything in my local newspaper (so about 20-30 syndicated strips) and practically any Archie/DC/Marvel/Gaiman comic I can get my hands on. I follow "Y the Last Man" , Fables, "The Walking Dead", and buy Growley's Amelia series. I've read "Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta", but am not that fond of Moore 'cause his "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" bugged me.

I think I had a couple of Disney-type comics when I was a kid, read a few Archie comics, and of course the comics in the newspaper, but that's about it. Never saw anything that really caught my interest enough to make me want to buy/read them, though if they were just lying around I'd read them (heck, if it's available and I have time, I'll read literally almost anything...).
The whole "superhero" thing never thrilled me, the never-ending storylines are just too freakin' long, and the art of US comics doesn't appeal to me, so I still have no interest.

I read my freinds from time to time, Batman, Superman, Starwars, etc.
Dont realy like how they only ever use the same characters for the last what 60 years... they never get old and if they do die, they just bring them back to life or are in some alternate universe...
They have no overall story and it never ends making it not very interesting to me.
