Well, I was just looking at IGN's essential reading list, because I am selling comics this week (the Ultimate comics... sorry folks) and I would like to pick up a couple trades. My results were these, organized by imprints:
Vertigo:
The Losers (want to read)
WE3 (want to read)
Y: The Last Man (want to read)
Animal Man (want to read)
The Invisibles (want to read)
Bite Club (want to read)
Transmetropolitan (want to read)
Fables (want to read, have volume 1)
Sandman (want to read)
V for Vendetta (want to read)
Dark Horse:
300 (want to read)
Marvel:
Earth X (want to read)
Ultimates (have)
Ultimate Spidey (have full run, am selling)
Ultimate X-Men (have full run, am selling)
Marvels (have)
Ultimate Fantastic Four (have full run, am selling)
The Avengers: Under Siege (have, would like to sell)
DC:
The Golden Age (want to read)
Kingdom Come (have, love, am keeping)
JLA Tower of Babel (have, would like to sell)
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns (have)
Batman: Legacy (have, would like to sell)
Batman: Knightfall, Knightquest, Knightsend (have in issues; some of my first comics; will not sell)
Batman: The Long Halloween (have)
Batman: Dark Victory (have)
Wildstorm:
Planetary (have volume 1, want to read remainder)
Ex Machina (want to read)
Stormwatch (want to read)
Eclipse:
Miracleman (cough Bass cough) (WANT TO READ)
Image:
Walking Dead (Have volume 1, want to read remainder)
I thought it telling of the company's state and ability to retain a maturing reader's interest that there were no Marvel titles on my list.
Today I picked up the first volumes of Walking Dead and Fables. I loved them both.
Marvel, mine will not be made yours any longer. This is not by any sin of your own, but by deed of the other publishers.
