Most of the big names are back working with Marvel and DC now. Frank Miller and Jim Lee are doing a Batman book now. (it doesn't live up to their potential in the least though, damn it!)

There's plenty of good stuff out there though. The other major change is that you can buy just about any title in trade paperback form collecting numerous issues (usually a complete story arc) at just about any major bookstore (or if you're smart amazon.com)
