I don't read any series in particular, but more of books written/drawn by that certain artist. Such as the Esiner award-winning duo Tim Sale and Jim Loeb (I think he's a Jim... can't remember), they've done books for both the big 2 (Marvel and DC) and I love their work. Another one of my favourite writers is Neil Gaiman, most well-known for his re-vamped Sandman series, I like his novels too. Then there's Frank Miller, I've only read Batman: Dark Knight Returns and the issues of Daredevil in which he was involved, just in case, Frank Miller is a legend in the western comics industry along with Will Eisner whom an award's been named after. Will Eisner is the grandaddy of modern sesquential storytelling/comics, I'm not a particular fan of his books, but I do pick them up occasionally.
The New X-Men series is also pretty cool, story and art wise. And finally there's The Invisible Art Of Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud= must read.
