Anyone else read comic books on these boards?
I noticed in the Batman Begins thread that a few people were wanting to read some Batman collections and whatnot, but I wasn't sure if their were other regular readers on here.
If there are..what do you currently read?
Also if any scifi/fantasy fans are interested in reading a few books I have a couple in mind that might work for you.

Vertigo
Fables
Summary - This is a very interesting series that transplants characters from folklore and classic literature into our world.
The Fables have fled their homelands (a series of worlds connected via magical portals) after they were conquered by a being known only as the Adversary. They show up in our world shortly after the American Revolution and take up residence in what will become New York City.
Now these immortals live in Fabletown which is a place rich in magic and sorcery as it is in political intrigue and espionage.
Bigby Wolf is the Sherrif of Fabletown, you might know him as the Big Bad Wolf in Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. He's also the one from The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
The Mayor of Fabletown is King Cole. He's the only one that has held the position in the history of the town. He is mostly a figure head leaving the daily duties of running the town to Bigby and his Deputy Mayor - Snow White.
Jack of Tales also plays a big part in the series. He's the Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack the Giant Killer, Jack and the Candlestick, Jack and Jill, etc..
Prince Charming also shows up as a womanizer who has been divorced three times. Once each from Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.
Characters also include Boy Blue, The Flycatcher, Pinocchio and many others. Characters are from Fables and Literature of many cultures, but mostly are European. Although the Arabian Nights ones will be showing up soon as well.
I highly reccomend this book to everyone. Men and women will love it. The women in this title are portrayed quite well they are strong and most are in leadership positions.

Dracula Vs King Arthur
Summary - Evil meets Medieval. When Vlad Dracul AKA Vlad the Impaler is manipulated by Lucifer, he becomes the first vampire, Dracula. His mission is to go back through time and kill King Arthur, the champion of life.

Those are the two I would reccomend right now. Fables would be nice to read in TPB, while Dracula Vs King Arthur is only at #1 out of 4 issues.
I have also heard good things about a series called SMOKE from IDW, but haven't read it as of yet.
Another interesting title on the horizon is the SCIFI comic from Image called Fear Agent - http://www.imagecomics.com/messagebo...pic.php?t=6518
