If you are willing to consider trades then maybe the better way to ease into them is to read series that you couldn’t feasibly get single issues anymore even if money wasn’t an issue. Series like Marvel’s Alias (not related to the J. J. Abrams show of the same name), Punisher Max (Think Secret Service but better and it has nothing to do with superheroes), Y the last man (one of the best books ever written), Preacher (I have a feeling it will either be too dated or too dark and messed up for your liking but it is one of the most imporant indie series ever writen), Transmetropolitan (same as Preacher but in a Sci Fi setting), Scalped, and 100 Bullets. You really only can get these series as trades at this point. You wouldn’t be any less of a comic collector reading them as trade because no one but those who were there at their start could have read them in single issues.
As far as series that are coming out now that you should be reading, take the advice of everyone else has given you. Get in on Saga, Manhattan Projects and the others now because we don’t normally have this many amazing indie series all coming out at once and I can’t imagine new ones will continue to pop up like they have. Get in on everything now because there is no telling if anything in the future will be as good as what we currently have.
Preacher.
You can get all nine trade paperbacks at Amazon, for less than fifteen dollars each.
Fair warning my tastes run to the non cape and stuff outside the "Big 2"
Fell, Transmetropolitan, The Authority all by Warren Ellis
Empire - Mark Waid

Mmm... kicking ass Bible style would kind of be like this guy...
I feel like you would like comics more than regular books. I personally like The Walking Dead comic series 1000x more than the show which is absolute trash now. While I do agree the book is not always better than the movie, I’ve seen a few cases where it is. Try reading Preacher, it’s one of my favorites.
