I don't actually follow Batman comics, but somehow am reading both Detective Comics (which now features Batwoman as a main character) and Batgirl (which is sort of DC Comics' 'oops we screwed up all these female characters and now are going to put them in a book together and try not to be like that, at least until we forget that was our goal' book). Unfortunately, I don't think any of those have a TPB out yet and that's all the DC I'm reading.
I can't remember what Marvel stuff you like, other than Jubilee (who hasn't been in anything) and Deadpool (who has been in a whole whole lot of shitty books). Any guidelines? I think you'd probably like the Iron Man book Matt Fraction has been writing -- which has a few collections out already). X Factor was kind of lousy for a while but has gotten good again (Rictor and Shatterstar are officially boyfriends, omg). Terry Moore and Kathryn Immonen have been writing Runaways but I'm not sure what you'd think of it -- it's not really the book it used to be. Indiewise, I feel like you'd like Joe Kelly's I Kill Giants (though warning, it's 'make you cry in your pancakes at IHOP sad' in places, not that this happened to me); and possibly Mysterius the Unfathomable by Jeff Parker? It's got a kind of Dr. Who vibe. Oh, and back in Marvel, Agents of Atlas by Jeff Parker is awesome and ridiculous -- make sure you start with the miniseries. Oh, and there's more Phonogram out!
(And I realized I'm assuming you were asking for stuff that's out in collection, but also obviously you can get all of this on the Internets, in theory).
Also, hi. :) So sorry you're ill, but glad you're back with the Internet. And also
