I think 25 is too much. I've always denied comics before, but I've recently read a few. All 6 volumes of Scott Pilgrim and Berserk are my favorite comics at the moment.

Doesn't have to be comic book artists. Magazine or book illustrators?
Comic book stories don't interest me so much a some of the art, which can be phenomenal.
