Off the top of my head, Daredevil: Born Again (ordering it in a couple of days though) Y: the last man BPRD ( I love Hellboy, just never got round to reading this!)
I could be here for a week listing all the comics i haven't read yet but here are some off the top of my head Secret six (although i have all the issues) Daredevil Born Again Starman (again i have all the issues) Strangers in Paradise (again i have all the issues i really should start reading these things) Y the last man
Batman: Year One - But I did see the animated movie. I liked it.
Ex Machina - Ditto above.
I just got the deluxe volumes of this and I love it all. Mitchell Hundred is the type of political candidate I want, to a degree... plus he's a superhero.
Is this like a confessional. Will we feel clean again afterwards.
Crisis on Infitine Earths
Infinite Crisis
But I'm not really ashamed about it.
I've filled a lot of holes in my list of shame over the last few months after buying Elephantmen, Ex Machina, Starman and a few other bits and pieces. My conscious in clear and now I do feel clean again.

I might buy some trades when I get back from vacation.

Just got the Deluxe Edition of Batman: Year One. I haven't read it in year and really loved it. I did find a fair bit of extra material from Mazzucchelli in the book including original pages. If Mazzucchelli was complaining that this edition was a poor version of what he had planned then I want to see his version.
Christopher Priest's Black Panther: I haven't liked his other work, and I'm not a big fan of the non-Don McGregor Panther stuff Kirby's Devil Dinosaur: I LOVE Kirby's 70's Marvel stuff, but just haven't gotten around to reading this run. Maybe this summer Any of the Malibu Ultraverse or post-Shooter Valiant Lost Girls. The damn thing is too expensive!
There are also some that I have been told are GREAT and when I sampled them, I didn't read through:
Silver Age Superman and Wonder Woman: Every time I try, I feel as if they are children's stories written by people who hate children. New Look Batman: The Julie Schwartz edited stories before the Batman TV series. They aren't BATMAN stories, but always read like Flash or Green Lantern stories that happen to have Batman in them Shooter's Valiant: It just reads like warmed over New Universe stories to me. Sorry.

I really enjoyed that run of Black Panther, but I also liked Priest's Quantum and Woody and The Ray . Priest's Black Panther is a good series.
Kirby's Devil Dinosaur wasn't good. I hate to say it, but it was just dumb. The best thing to come out of that run was the Devil Dinosaur (one of my favorite Marvel Monsters). I am glad I got the Omnibus even if I didn't enjoy it.
If someone had asked me this question four years ago, I would have said Watchmen, Infinity Gauntlet, Kingdom Come and Crisis On Infinite Earths. Thankfully, I've read all of those now.
I'd say The Killing Joke is the one I'd be ashamed of not reading yet. And Y, the Last Man.
I've had 'From Hell' on my shelf for years now and I've yet to pick it up. Part of the problem is Eddie Campbell. I like his art, but it just seems to bother me in a comic narrative setting.
Frank Miller's Ronin. As much as I love all things Frank (yes, even ASB&RTBW) I have never read this book. Fortunately I just bought it off Kevin so that situation will be remedied shortly.
Sweet Jeebus!!!! Really!!! That's the second one this week. How many more 'must read' comics have you NOT read? And you call yourself a geek. The shame of it. Al...your not a geek to me anymore...you're a 'newbie'.

See I read the few chapters of From Hell that were serialized in "Taboo". But until last year I had never read the rest of it. Really well done book. But I am also a huge fan of Campbell's artwork.
me no read: 93. Ennis's Hellblazer 86. Starlin's Warlock 80. Carey & Gross's Lucifer 67. Milligan's Shade the Changing Man 45. Ostranders "The Spectre" 40. Moore's Promethea 35. Hernandez Bros Love & Rockets 27. Grant Morrison's Invisibles 25. Sim's Cerebus 23. Ellis's Transpetropolitan 14. Morrison's Doom Patrol 8. Ennis's Preacher
So out of 100 definitive runs, Ive only not touched on 12. A number of them fall into the same type of book (fringe supernatural a'la Hellblazer, Lucifer, Shade, Spetre, Promethia, even Doom Patrol) A number of them fall into my "out of comics timeline (I missed about '91-2002).
I dont see myself going back after any of them anytime soon

I think the ONLY one that I have any shame in not reading is Cerebus... so iconic for the 80s, which WAS my era of comics... but then again Im not a big Conan guy...
I always feel left out that I haven't read Preacher (have ALL the TPB's, but just haven't been able to face finding the time to read them all) and I haven't read Animal Man (Morrison), which is crazy considering my interest in animals and how much I'm loving the new Animal Man (Lemire), too.
For all you peeps that listed Strangers in Paradise, at least jump on board for Rachel Rising! Just getting started and it rocks!

With Cerebus after the first 25 or so issues it becomes less of a Conan parody and becomes a great comic.
