Who still reads/collect comics?
I recently rekindled my boy-hood love of comic books. 
Was wondering who else has subscriptions and/or online access they check regularly.
How I got back in:
Last summer (funny enough, my birthday) the Fear Itself: Deadpool series was released, written by Christopher Hastings who is the author of the Dr. McNinja web comic. Being a long time fan of Dr. McNinja I went about acquiring the Deadpool series to current and, if I may be honest, found most of those story arcs very hard to put down. i got through all of series 1 and 2 and a good bit of Cable & Deadpool before the comics dropped. Needless to say I have been hooked since.
Current stories I am reading:
Deadpool (series 4)
Uncanny Avengers (dropped yesterday)
Hellrasier
Hellraiser The Road Below
The Thunderbolts (story is good but the art I have to power through
)
Batman Death Of the Family
Recommendations:
If you are even slightly interested in batman, go read Death Of the Family... NOW!!! There's a ton of cross overs but it's just amazing. Worth every penny even buying the first prints ($10-25 depending on the comic.)
I'm hoping that Thunderbolt picks up because with Red Hulk, Deadpool, Venom and the Punisher on a team (yes Elektra too, never a big fan of her) there is massiv potential for great times.

WTF Uncanny Avengers??? I still have all my comics but probably nothing newer then 1993, about 500 comics with 91% Marvel, 7% Image and 2% DC. One of these days I need to get me a comic price guide and go through them. All issues are bagged and probably 75 percent have the support backing. Dam im hella nerdin right now, I want to read me some old ass xmen.

Yeah, Avengers Vs. X-men lead into a full collab and reboot of most series under the Marvel NOW! nomenclature.
Thus far most have been really good reads and a lot of new and returning tittles for 2013
Also forgot to add to my list the Avengers reboot:
Deadpool and/or Gangnam style all the things
