Not so into Marvel Comics. The only comic series that I ever really got into and still love is Neil Gaiman's, "Sandman." I really, really love that series, and I pray that they never try to make a movie out of it.

Sandman was too much for a country boy like me. 
This is more my Sandman....

I think comics are finally getting their due for being some very good literature.

I grew up on Marvel, John Byrne's X-Men being central. Started reading the standard comix fare: the Hernandez Brothers' Love and Rockets, Peter Bagge's Hate and Daniel Clowes' Eightball. Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore, too, of course. I enjoyed Moore's Miracleman more than Watchmen, actually, but I converted a lot of non-comics readers with Watchmen. They'd get all excited when I came home with the new installment, but weren't all that careful with my copies. I hadn't ceased to be obsessive about mylar bags and acid-free backers yet.

I read the Batcomics pretty faithfully until Morrison came in and ruined everything. But I'm really a Marvel boy from childhood.
As for Watchmen, I think I appreciate it more than I enjoy it. I think it's rather overrated. V For Vendetta is actually a much better book, both in terms of art and story.
