So, I know I'm not the only comic collector/enthusiast in this forum and I'd like to know some of your favorite heroes. First, do you tend toward Marvel, DC, or some other company? And then within that, what series do you read or collect? And why do you enjoy that character/series so much?

For me it's Marvel normally. I like a few DC heroes, and I've been dancing with the idea of reading Green Lantern comics, but for now it's Marvel. My favorites are Thor and Ghostrider because of the Mythology/Occult connections. I've collected a lot of Mighty Thor issues, several of them consecutive, but I have a long way to go. I particularly enjoy the early 90s issues in which the actual Thor is exiled and his powers are given to a mortal man, Eric Masterson. He changes up the attitude and style. I like Ghostrider as well, but I have only a few actual comics and a few essential collection volumes. I'd like a lot more, but it depends on the price and how much time i've got to devote to it.
