Anybody still collect comics?

I haven't but any new comics in over 10 years. I think something just got lost along the way with comic books, they seem to focus more on art with splash pages than actually telling a story within 1 issue. Crap, check out the prices of comics these days! Id rather have a thicker book with cheaper paper and a longer story. I remember when they went up to $1.75 a book and thinking that was to much. I usually stick to certain X-Men & Star Wars back issues these days, but can anyone recommend any current titles?

i still collect comics but nothing really from after 89. i used to collect hardcore when i was younger. but i stopped collecting at amazing spider-man 409. and i stopped collecting xmen right sometime after age of apocalyse both around 95. they got too expensive and crappy. i pick an xmen title up every so often to read. i was buying the new tf and joe comics but just slacked off towards the end. my sister reads xmen so i did read a few exiles which i enjoyed. but i dont really want any comics from 90's on. i like all marvel titles from the 60-80's my favs are amazing spiderman, new mutants, fallen angels,dp-7,psi-force,team-up's, what if's, im sure you get the jist so basicly of new stuff. exiles, gijoe,transformers, ....damn my 80's self would be ashamed of the comic guy ive become ;(

I just buy punisher comics, I prefer the 80's comics. The new ones are computer printed and too glossy, half is just ads with sexy girls, cost too much and it take about 5 issues to finish a story arc. By the way, i may have some of those punisher comics you are looking for.

I did collect the new GI JOE books, until they said that they were ending the series and then I lost intrest and stopped buying them.

Some of the back issues i still keep an eye out for from the 80s and older are:

Uncanny X-Men (anything under issue 140)
Star Wars
Silver Surfer (60s, 70s)
Warlock (70s)
Captain Marvel (60s, 70s)
New Mutants

As for DC I only pick up the following titles if they are early 80s and older and fairly cheap

JLA
The Flash (1st series)
Green Lantern
