I still read plenty of both. I just avoid a lot of the nonsense.
For example, I'm loving Green Lantern right now, but I've really been turned off of Amazing Spider-Man. GL seems to be building something interesting while Spider-Man had everything I liked get torn apart.
And I'm not even bothering with Secret Invasion ($4 for 22 pages is a rip) and the only thing I really like about Final Crisis are some of the spin-offs (mainly because I like Geoff Johns' writing so much).
To be honest, I think the best thing I read is Hellboy.
