I shall keep an eye open for it. Thank you.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Definitely Fray. The first -- is it 6? -- issues are out already.

I'd go with the Sandman comics over Fray, myself. The Sandman grabbed me on a fairly complex and literary level, whereas I think Fray is like a mediocre episode of Buffy set in the future. When I was starting to read comics again, I also found myself drawn to anything by Alan Moore. My wife, who disdains most of the comics I read, really loves Moore's Promethea series on America's Best Comics. I liked the deconstruction of the superhero myth in The Watchmen.

Well, I didn't know if she wanted Jossverse or not.
Non-Jossverse: I'm a HUGE fan of Ultimate Spider-Man. And you can't go wrong with V for Vendetta.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I'd definitely recommend Sandman, though I'd suggest starting with "Preludes and Nocturnes" since it gives the backstory and introduces some major characters. I tried to start right in the middle and just got very muddled.

I'm sorry, Teppy; I wasn't meaning to be critical. Ignore me. I'm grouchy today.
I was trying to answer the question of what to read when getting back into comics, rather than what Jossverse comics should one read.

I was heading for Buffyverse as a way of reading comics without having to get into a new verse. But I'm open to suggestions.

With the Sandman, I started closer to the middle (A Game of You) and then went back to catch up, which I recommend to anyone who thinks exactly like me. Otherwise, Madrigal's right: start at the beginning.

No apologies necessary, hayden -- I thought *I* was being short-sighted.

Right on.
