I have been thinking about this, there are some videogames i usually revisit every year or so like some older Fable and AC games. I dont reread comics that much, outside some outstanding issues like The brave and the mold from Tom King’s Batman or Lemire’s Green Arrow, but those have been more occasional rereadings more than a yearly ritual.
Ive reread Sandman every couple of years since high school and it always leaves me in my feels.
I often go back to my Alan Moore dc collection, and Jimmy Corrigan: the smartest kid on earth (it’s depressing but very real and hits the way a great classic Hollywood film does)
I re-read Preacher (Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. R.I.P Steve) about every five years or so. Love that story.
The Asterix comics are the only ones I’ve read more than once.
Superhero comics don’t interest me at all.
- 100 Bullets
- random Tintin
- Bone
- East of West (mostly because I put it down for years at a time and want to read it all start to finish but haven’t gotten past volume 6 yet)
- Hellboy
I’m not sure if this is fair game because it’s a webcomic, but I’ve re-read Kill Six Billion Demons multiple times. The art, the little fables underneath, it’s all done so well. The drawings regularly burst with detail, and you can spend several moments just noticing different things in a panel. I think the author is in the process of finishing up the last chapter now, but it’s a great ride.
Kingdom Come, mostly for Alex Ross’ art.
Bone because it’s fun and pure escapism.
Akira, the World War Hulk series, and Batman: Knightfall get a re-read about once a year.
Damn, you reread the whole knightfall once a year? i finished it two months ago and i can tell you its not going to be a regular reread for me lol
Long Bow Hunters. Such a good story from the early days of the comics can be for adults era.
I need to revisit long bow hunters again, it has been already around 3 years since the last time, i have been waiting for a good chance of picking up the rest of his run for a decent price.
I do like going back through The Goon
James Robinson’s run on Starman.
All-Star Superman - whenever I’m having a tough time this comic will always cheer me up.
Also anything Neil Gaiman wrote. Marvel 1602, Mr. Punch, and of course Sandman and its many offshoots. There is so much detail in those stories that I catch something new every time I read them.
Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis.

NextWave! It’s kind of my comfort read, because it’s very light hearted in a lot of ways that traditional comics aren’t. It’s very violent and swear-y though.
