For me, its easier to ask me which DC titles I don't collect. I think that may be like 4. I need some titles to be canceled really quick before I start with a bunch of new ones.

Right now my reading list is sparse. I got back into comics six months ago and within three months from that ended up dropping 2/3rds of the books. I just couldn't get behind a lot of the new directions (and it's a shame so many series DID have new directions after only two years gone).
I'm reading LSH, LSH in the 31st Century, and Action Comics or whichever Legion related guest spot is out. My only other books are Booster Gold, Tiny Titans (though I'm not sure how long I'll stick with it), and Transformers Spotlight. I'm enjoying IDW's spotlight books better than the actual Transformers series they're supposed to compliment.
This is the first time ever I'm collecting comics that I don't have a Marvel title (or specifically, an X-title) I'm picking up. Though I hear X-Force is good and I'm sure X-Factor still is, Messiah Complex and the negative statuo quo that it left behind killed my X-Men drive for right now.

Currently following (excluding just-ended miniseries, in rough order of goodness from best to least): Incredible Hercules Nova Captain America X-Men: First Class Marvel Adventures Avengers Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius (quarterly) X-Factor She-Hulk Thor
On the bubble or going: Thunderbolts - will drop when Ellis leaves & Gage takes over Transformers - I'll probably continue to follow Furman's Spotlights, etc, but I've jumped off the main series since All Hail Megatron looks crap New Warriors - it's been technically bad, but fun for a while. The fun's dissipating
Likely adds: Captain Britain & MI:13 Guardians of the Galaxy
-------------------- My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I just dropped a bunch of Marvel and DC's. Here's where I'm at (please keep in mind I share this with my father, so I only pay half the cost at an already 25% off, and he may want some that I don't and vice versa).
Captain America Daredevil Fantastic Four Amazing Spider-Man Thor Iron Man Incredible Hercules Nova Guardians & the Galaxy Runaways Thunderbolts (not safe post-Ellis) New Avengers Mighty Avengers Avengers: Classic Avengers: the Initiative (not safe) Uncanny X-Men X-Men: Legacy Astonishing X-Men X-Factor Ultimate Spider-Man Hulk* (* = father wants, I don't read)
Superman Action Comics Batman Detective Comics Superman/Batman* Nightwing Robin Supergirl* Wonder Woman Flash Green Lantern Green Lantern Corps Green Arrow/Black Canary The All-New Atom Blue Beetle Booster Gold Brave & Bold Justice League of America Justice League (when it comes out) Justice Society of America Teen Titans Batman & the Outsiders Legion of Super-Heroes Shadowpact Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters (latest mini may have lost me forever) Checkmate All-Star Superman All-Star Batman & Robin (I get this because its so awful I can't help it) Jonah Hex The Spirit
Trinity - will give it a chance Final Crisis Legion of 3 Worlds
Powers Fallen Angel Fables Mice Templar Umbrella Academy Dan Dare (just picked up, will review and decide) various others I've just picked up that I'll review and decide
Because I just dropped a bunch of titles, I've put a hold on getting anything new from DC or Marvel unless it looks spectacular or someone personally reccomends it to me. They've just let me down too often. And mini-series especially won't be added unless I hear rumors its the greatest thing since 1930's the Shadow #1.
I may have left one or two out, this is by memory...

Hm. I may have to start reccomending you single issue stories each month to keep you aware of all good comics, Eryk!

My comics buying habit is always a great reflection of my financial stability. If I'm buying lots of comics - times are good. If I'm not - they're not.
Now's one of the bad times so I'm trying to keep it down to around 10 books a month or so (give or take a few what with minis and cancellations and so on).
Here's how things are looking for me at the mo...
Buying -
Action Comics (dropped if Supergirl becomes an integral book) All Star Superman (will probably leave when Morrison does though) Batman Brave and Bold Green Lantern Justice League of America Justice Society of America (on the bubble) Superman (dropped if Supergirl becomes an integral book)
Final Crisis (when it starts) Final Crisis : Legion of 3 Worlds (when it starts) Final Crisis : Rogues Revenge (when it starts) Justice League (when it starts - maybe, don't like what I've heard so far) Madame Xanadu (when it starts)
House of Mystery (in TPB - maybe, will wait and see how the reviews go) Scalped (in TPB - great book, people should check it out) Walking Dead (in TPB - great book, people should check it out)
Dropped for Financial reasons -
Astro City Batman & the Outsiders Blue Beetle Booster Gold Checkmate Fables (though I was also tiring of this book anyway) Green Lantern Corps Jack of Fables Jonah Hex Wonder Woman
(though I would start picking up any or all of the above again if my money problems improved or they got killer new storylines)
Dropped for Hatred reasons -
Green Arrow & Black Canary Teen Titans
(change the creative teams on those books and on Titans and I might start buying them again though)
Of the books I'm currently reading I'd say Walking Dead, Scalped, All Star Superman, Brave & Bold and Action Comics are probably the best and I urge everyone who hasn't to check them out.

I recenty spend a whopping $40 for two months books, and wondered why. It's time to weed down my list. JSA and LSH v5 are on the short-list to get the heave-ho.

Doldrums... I don't think I've been collecting this few titles since my first year in college.
Right now my list is just LSH, JSA, All-Star Superman, and Final Crisis... plus Legion of Three Worlds when it starts next month. I've also been getting the intermittent Power Pack minis from Marvel. I was previously collecting All-New Atom (which got cancelled) and Blue Beetle (which I decided to drop, although not because I stopped liking the title). I'll probably drop JSA after the Gog storyline, too.
I'm really looking forward to the Agents of Atlas ongoing, though!

Legion of Super-Heroes Wonder Woman Justice League of America Justice Soceity of America Action Comics Green Lantern Corps Green Lantern Booster Gold Birds of Prey Uncanny X-Men Astonishing X-Men Mighty Avengers Green Arrow & Black Canary
I dropped Titans, Teen Titans, Young X-Men, and X-Factor, not to long ago. But I might be interested in getting Teen Titans once again.
