Apologies if this has been asked and answered many times. Dan's threads about "double-dipping" made me think about the desire to re-experience a favorite story, in this case particularly comic books, even when there aren't nearly enough hours in the day to read all the new material that comes out. I don't re-read books as often as I used to, mostly because I get so many new books. But there are quite a few I used to pull out regularly:
Punisher MS#1: The original Grant/Zeck joint. The "psychoanalysis" issue of Watchmen. Daredevil#226 and #228-230 Lots of issues of Sandman, including "24 Hours", "The Doll's House", "A Game of You" and the Dead Boy detectives issue of "Season of Mists".

My most re-read comics over the years are probably:
Peter Bagge's Hate (all of it— I re-read it every year or two) The Kurtzman issues of Mad (illustrated by Wally Wood, Jack Davis, Will Elder and company) Watchmen Howard the Duck Jim Starlin's '70s run on Warlock Dave Cooper's Crumple, Suckle, Dan and Larry and Pip and Norton Jim Woodring's Frank
I'm sure there's more but that's what springs to mind!

Punisher MS#1: The original Grant/Zeck joint.
Nice! That book really grabbed me as a kid and made me love comics. Clowes' Eightball is probably my most-read stuff. I usually read what's on hand, so I've read a couple of traded Spider-Man stories way too many times simply because they were on a bookshelf right in front of me over the last 15 years (like "The Cosmic Adventure").

I too don't reread as much as I would like. I always make mental notes to do so, but the new shiny things always grab my attention first. My most reread comic is probably a Batman book. Either Killing Joke, Year One, or DKR.
Just scanning my shelves now, there is so much I want to revisit. I need to get on that shit.

I seem to go through the walking dead omnibus when they put out new ones, I imagine I will wind up doing the same with invincible as well...
I've read the annihilation series a few times ms marvel shana the she devil uhm...
Odds are if I have a hard cover for something I've read it more than a couple of times really... just depends on how long its been since I have read X book & what I remember of it & how bored I am at the time/what I feel like I am in the mood for ...

Clowes' Eightball is probably my most-read stuff. Peter Bagge's Hate (all of it— I re-read it every year or two) Jim Woodring's Frank These are some books I probably should re-read. I'll bet I'd get something very different out of them now than I did originally. Mage: The Hero Discovered Never *mumble* read it.... [shuffles feet]
