The Great Darkness Saga from LSH is a story I re-read, although I haven't read it lately. I like the mystery in the beginning of the story, the reveal of the big bad, and the double sized finale!
Also enjoy re-reading my old Archie comics.

John Byrne's Fantastic Four and Superman are, I think, the comics I have read the most over the years.

Alan Moore's Captain Britain (at least once a year since they were first published, I'd guess), probably followed by the rest of the Marvel UK CB stories, Dave Gibbons's Doctor Who, Infinity Inc, Gerber's Defenders, Englehart's Avengers, Moore's Marvelman/Miracleman, Watchmen, and the last half dozen issues of the 1970s All-Star Comics run. All of them multiple times. Also, a number of random issues of various books which I keep reading copies of by my bed just because for some reason they've stayed with me since childhood, including Freedom Fighters #11, JLA #171-172, Kamandi #58, Human Torch #8, Defenders #14, Avengers #177 and Crisis on Infinite Earths #6.

Also for me Ive been re-reading Nightstalkers, Force Works, some Fantastic Four, and old John Byrne Superman stuff from 1987 before the whole Death of Superman.
Past few months ive been buying bunch of old back issues of stuff even for Nightstalkers, Power Pack, Alpha Flight, Fantastic Four to do alot of catching up to do with old fun stories in the issues. Force Works I think its really underrated since it continues on from Avengers West Coast and the old Wonder Man comic books

What's the Great Darkness Saga?

What's the Great Darkness Saga? Legion of Superheroes (formerly Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes) 290-294, though 287 has a prologue. Agents of a dark lord attack various sites, related to magic, and gather power for their master, who turns out to be SPOILER Darkseid (they put it on the trade cover, so DC doesn't try to hide it from later readers). This was Darkseid at his most malevolent, since Kirby and the Legion get their hinders kicked for a good chunk of it, before hope comes. Darkseid actually moves Daxam and thereby creates an army of supermen, who are all but unstoppable. He takes or Mordru without breaking a fingernail and Mordru had single-handedly whooped the Legion on many occasions. Highfather and Orion turn up, late in the book, as well as a pair of cousins, who really kick some shadowy butt! Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen created the true Legion masterpiece, which propelled the book to superstar levels, in the early 80s. The Legion series rode that wave for the better part of a decade. |

The Eternals and the New Gods would be up there. And I used to re-read the earlier issues of Tomb of Dracula and Master of Kung Fu periodically when those series were still coming out, because they often featured long continuing story-lines. And I'd re-read a lot of Steve Gerber's and Steve Englehart's 70s Marvel comics back in the day, just because they were so good. In the 90s I the comic I would re-read most was Love and Rockets (the first 50 issues) in the big trade collections.
But I don't do much if any re-reading these days and haven't for many years, apart from the odd exception. I think the last thing I did in that line was a year or two ago when I re-read all the early Moon Knight stories and comics I could find because I wanted to catch up on the character before reading the then-new Warren Ellis MK series.
For the most part, I have too much un-read stuff, new and old, that I'm behind on, so I want to catch up on that first - which reminds me, the next things I'll re-read probably are Godland and The Unwritten because I still haven't finished either of those series after having followed them fairly closely for the first 3/4 or so of each run.

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run
Garth Ennis' Punisher run
Frank Miller's Daredevil run
Every once in a while I'll also just dig out random issues of Conan from the Thomas/Buscema glory days and re-read those.
