The Walking Dead - extremely weird since I'm not even a zombiephile. I do love the show and admittedly am missing a few of the comics so I've had my Walker friends fill me. in.
The Watchman - This alter-universe 80's graphic novel was actually the first graphic novel I read and I loved it. The movie was totally awesome and moving replica of the novel getting scenes exact. 
The X-men and alternate universes - something people should know about superhero comics is that nowadays there are alternate legends and mythologies for nearly every character.
I'm not sure why I've chosen comics as a method to do research on - maybe because I feel they are easier to read, faster and I can always have my true comicphiles fill in the gaps. I go to the library and get a few of the new ones, hunt down an occasional deal at the comic store or borrow from friends. I'm not o collector in the true sense as much as an avid fan.
I just got done watching Season One of Game of Thrones. I have not read the series by George R.R. Martin and I'm undecided if I will. Epic Fantasy has always been a daunting read for me and I'm not sure I would be able to follow the subplots of so many integral characters. Comics are much easier that way and for some reason my brain absorbs the graphic content eagerly. I look at the next book in Game of Thrones and I'm just not sure I'm ready for it.
I love Graphic Novels so much I'm actually story-boarding an idea for one with a very talented artist, because I'm horrible at drawing. Maybe that's why I enjoy Comics so much. I can write but I sure can't draw. :)

Storyboarding? How cool is that! But don't sell yourself short. If you can track all the origin stories and alternate histories in the big ensemble comics (X-men, I'm looking at you, LOL), Martin is EASY!
