I've seen Dark Knight threads so I'm assuming there are a few.I collect a few titles but certainly not as many as you.
Marvel; Power Pack, Exiles, Spider-Girl, all the Ultimate titles.
DC; Justice Society, JSA Classified, Hawkgirl, all Green Lantern titles, Blue Beetle, all the Crisis/52 tie-ins, any Elseworlds or Tangent titles
Other companies; Astro City, Hellboy, Planetary
I'm a fan of alternate history/stories, so a lot of my comic choices reflect this. I've manged to collect almost all the Elseworlds titles & their various reprints. I think I'm only missing the Kingdom Come tpb 1st printing.
I've also started collecting the original comic book art.

I used to collect comic books. I have an almost complete run of X-Men / Uncanny X-Men starting with #1 through the year 1996 when I stopped collecting. I also have lots of key issues of numerous major titles and lots of short runs on various titles that I gave up collecting to concentrate on completing my “X” runs (several spin offs as well). Still, if I saw a new title come out I would always pick up the first few issues to check them out.

Holy Snikeys! Even at my peak, I was a mere dabbler compared to you. I collected The Avengers, X-Men, Daredevil religiously and a few other titles randomly from 1977-1982 essentially. Around 1997 I discovered Sandman which led to resurgence in my interest but I have shallow pockets so I am at the mercy of whatever the libraries I frequent have available. Through this sort hunting I have begun collecting the trades for Fables. My son is developing an interest, although more in the graphic novels than in the monthlies.

I used to collect comics, mainly Marvel. These days I just tend to collect & read graphic novels & comic collections rather than the comics themselves.
Just finished Slaine Book of invasions & reread Slaine the horned god
I also love the sandman series

Welcome to the boards, Jeff! Glad to hear you are getting such enjoyment from FPW's works.
Oh, by the way, Repairman Jack is pretty much always abbreviated to RJ and not RMJ.

Your story sounds so familiar, says she who spent just $1.00 on a copy of The Tomb one fateful day...

"It has a pretty cover," she thought. "I bet I'll like this book! Girl Scout cookies will have to wait for another day!"
