Great topic. Cerebus: High Society. I've taken that journey so many times, and I can't wait to get back to it each time. Probably going to re-read it over the Thanksgiving break. Some others are Tick: Karma Tornado, Avengers Forever, and Earth X. Generally old FF and Legion get a fair amount of re-reading as well, and some of my B&W Showcase Silver Age reprints like Supergirl and Sea Devils are well worn. Wow... believe it or not those are all on my list. I would add Paul the Samurai... more Tick humor that never gets old. Also, I have read through many times, now, the Guardians of the Galaxy by Dan Abnet Omnibus. I USED to read Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen, almost yearly.... but haven't read either in a long time, now. |

I probably read it from start to finish at least 20 times by the time it was ten years old. But it's been five years since the last time I read it. And I've read High Society and Church and State a bunch of times. But not lately. |

Byrne’s FF AND Alpha flight While I don't reread it every year, the FF run is probably the most re-read of anything in my collection. I've probably reread AF a fair amount as well.

Usually The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One.
I usually have goals to reread more, but my mood reading gets the best of me and I go squirrel.

The Thomas and Busiek Conan runs. Every five years or so, I start a curated, in-universe chronological reading, but my ADHD always kicks in around Conan The Barbarian in about the 30s, and I end up abandoning it. Every time I restart, I waver between picking up from last time, or promising myself to start from the beginning and finishing it this time. I always choose the promise that's sure to be broken. So my most re-read comics are the Busiek run, plus most of CTB up to 30-something, plus a few select issues of Savage Sword.
Other than that, I think Morrison's Animal Man And Milligan's Shade are the only significant runs I've read more than once - twice in each case. The only single issues that I seek out to re-read as not part of a run is Superman Adventures 36 (from Millar, the one with the puppy dog!), and Hitman 34 (Superman again). I'm not a die-hard Superman fanboy, but these happen to be the stories that challenge me to hold back the tears (not including We3 - it's almost impossible to revisit because it's so... draining).

I never get tired of revisiting that run! Something about that Cary Nord art as well. |

I think I only saw Cary Nord on Daredevil prior to that, and my impression was that the guy had his own style, but I didn't think his art alone would be a selling point on anything. And I balked at the idea of the obviously sweetheart Busiek having an ounce of savagery in him. |

Some that have always been a personal favorite of mine are the Dredd epics "The Day The Law Died" and "Block Mania"
I remember reading slivers of these in the American Eagle reprints and I just couldn't get enough of them. It was years before I read them in full and I think what makes them so great is that they're impossible situations that Dredd shouldn't be able to survive and yet, somehow he does
Dredd is, with some caveats, also kind of portrayed as the hero in these stories. And while he does succeed, the endings to these and other such stories are not inherently happy. Which is the reason I've been a fan since my teens
