In the Forums…

I've been out of comics for a few years. I have started to pick up some titles again. Well, then some has turned into more and now a lot. I see there are several subscription services online. I was wondering if anyone on here uses any of those or if you pretty much stick to the local shops? Or subscriptions directly from Marvel/DC? My biggest drive in going this direction would be saving some $$$. (What do you think is the best comic subscription service?)
