Well, in my quest to catch up and read a alot of the comics that I haven't read over the years I have finally caught up to date on:
Tarot - Witch of the Black Rose - Wow. A lot of issues, many were kind of bunk, but there were enough issues/story lines that I thought were fabulous.
Supergirl - Eh, I thought the chick in Smallville was hot so it peaked my interest. I personally feel the comic is garbage except for the occasional time she is not portrayed as an emo brat. The last couple of issues have really given me hope though. I like my heroes noble, ans Supergirl so far has not been. Hopefully, looking at the way the comic appears to be going, she may soon.
Strikeforce Moritori - I haven't read the spinoff yet, but the original series that I bought on a whim and loved years ago. Worked out pretty good. I am on the fence about the end conspiracy though, but overall a great comic.
Dark Horse's Conan - The first series (not the new one), all fifty of em. fantastic stuff. Expecially the Born on the Battlefield story.
What's next? I don't know. I've read some Bomb Queen so wouldn't mind going through those, but Red Sonja may be a choice. Heck with Rose McGowan in the new movie it would be nice to be up to snuff! I have always kept an eye on the Walking Dead too. Hmmm.

I've been searching high and low for a decent software application to read comics on my Mac. What do other Mac users use?
I think I finally found the answer, Comicbooklover. It's pretty awesome compared to anything else I've used.
I've been using FFView after trying out Jomic and Comical.
FFView was an image viewer in reality that reads CBR files and just worked so that was good, but there was a serious lack of other features including what I really wanted was some organization and stuff. Jomic and Comical were too much of memory hogs. Heck, They would have to be force quit many times it the comic was too large, etc.
Luckily I stumbled upon Comicbooklover through my Wakoopa site. Some other user said this was a good program. It's got an iTunes type interface where I can categorize comics, enter in writers, titles, and other key things. I test drove it for a day but there was this watermark thing at the bottom left hand corner. While not rendering it useless, it was annoying when text was under it so I registered it for like $25.
So far, I am in love with this program. There are a few issues I have with it, but for a small little program when there were no good alternatives for the Mac in my opinion, this is a godsend. I hope they keep developing it.

Well, I've been searching for a good comic community, one where I can write down my thoughts of different comics I have read (and not to mention keep track of them), maybe meet a few like minded souls who dig the same stuff. We shall see, but this place looks promising.
I'll have to read the FAQ, but msg me if off the top of your head you know if future releases can be added. I have to figure out the Pull List feature yet, and if future releases can't be added on a timely basis I dunno how good that'll be.
Dunno who she is but guess I'll have to read a copy of her comic since the Comicvine seems to think she's perfect for me:
Ah, I just skimmed through her entry...at least she's another Canadian :)
