4.1: Yo John: what are your favorite comics?

Well, now that Love & Rockets has come to an end, the only titles I buy anymore [when I can find them] are Action Girl Comics and Rob Hanes. Seems like I have less time and inclination to read them anymore: I'd rather make 'em! But I can mention a few that have been especially influential and are still faves of mine:

Love & Rockets, Zot!, Concrete, Mai the Psychic Girl, Stinz, The Desert Peach, 2001 Nights, Watchmen, American Splendor, Yummy Fur....
