Neat! You rarely hear about women enjoying comic books(I know that they are out there as I have a friend that owns a comic store here)!
Being as this post of yours is over 2 years old, do you still read comic books? If so, I have a couple of recommendations of large story arcs/events.
1. Blackest Night. If you are a fan at all of Green Lantern/the Green Lantern Corps this is one of the best "events" happening. This is a great one even if you aren't a fan of GL since the repercussions shoot off into almost every main title in the DC universe. Basically, Blackest Night involves the Black Lantern Corp and to get into that particular Corps? You have to be dead. Think of any BIG names(not necessarily superheroes) that have died in the DC universe and you will see them in all their undead glory!
2. Dark Reign. The Skrulls(hopefully you know who they are
) failed in their Secret Invasion and Norman Osborne(the Green Goblin) shot the gun that killed the Skrull Queen. Due to this he was given almost complete control of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers Tower. Dark Reign is the term for how the Marvel universe is under the bootheel of an insane man who has an immense amount of power given to hi.
3. The Siege. Dark Reign gives way to this, and this is an event that is seven years in the making. Cool!
Bionca, you mentioned that you enjoy zombies. I would highly recommend checking out The Walking Dead. You could pick them up in trade paperback format, as it is almost impossible to find all the back issues(and they would be uber-expensive).
Now, as far as hobbies that I enjoy:
1. Dungeons & Dragons(I've played D&D, AD&D, AD&D 2nd edition, 3rd ed, and 3.5. I have not played in a few years, so I have not played 4th edition)
2. Comics. I love to read comic books(and graphic novels) and I have a pretty good collection.
3. Tennis. I belong to the Tennis Club and I play during the Summer.
4. Reading. I love reading books. I particularly enjoy reading books of the Fantasy genre(Wheel of Time, the Dungeons & Dragons novels, The various Book of Swords by Fred Saberhagen, Harry Potter, Lord Of The Rings, and many more) and Horror genre(Stephen King and Dean Koontz are two of my favourites). I own hundreds of books.
5. Puzzles. I enjoy working on jigsaw puzzles, especially on a cold Winter day(or night).
6. Chess. I have not played in a few years, but I enjoy playing chess.
7. I enjoy playing boardgames and CCG(collectable card games such as Magic: The Gathering and Munchkin). I enjoy playing Talisman(sort of like D&D but as a boardgame), Munchkin, Settlers, and Carcassonne.
8. Computer games. I enjoy playing RPG, Adventure, Turn-Based Strategy, and Real-Time Strategy games the most. I have a large collection of games.
Did I beat you out via the Nerdness factor?
