I recently started dabbling in the comic world. I’m not too into the mainstream comic collecting, but I’m loving old 80’s toy/cartoon comics. Star Comics (an imprint of Marvel) did some really cool stuff like He-Man and Thundercats. I’m loving it.
I’m looking hard at the Indiana Jones stuff from Marvel. It’s cheap and I’m a big Dr Jones fan.

If you're into older stuff, Dark Horse had the Indiana Jones license for years and there's a bunch of stories they've done. I don't believe there's anything collected into a trade or omnibus though so you might have to track down floppies.
Wildstorm/DC had the rights to Thundercats for a while and I do know there are some collected editions of those but they're out of print so you might have go on eBay or scour used book stores. Also, since you mentioned He-Man, did you know that MoTU and Thundercats crossed over? ;)

Pretty affordable trade paperback of the mini-series.
Inter-company crossovers have always been my favorite thing. Some of the ones I've picked up recently include...
Medieval Spawn/Witchblade (2nd series)
Rick and Morty VS. Dungeons & Dragons
Transformers/Ghostbusters
I saw just recently that they announced Transformers/Back to the Future so we'll see how that goes. There's also a Transformers/My Little Pony crossover due out at the end of the year. :P

I like like the trades to read I don’t have to feel like I’m about to break something. I have the He-Man/Thundercats trade. To be perfectly honest, it’s kinda dumb.
I really like the MOTU stuff DC has done since 2012. I’d recommend any of it to a friend.

What app do y’all use to keep up with your collection?
I tried Comic Geeks, but it didn’t have everything.
