I like to mostly buy my comics from Comic book shops and subscriptions. If Marvel is having a discount on titles I absolutely love, I will buy a subscription to it. Otherwise all the other titles I casually read, I buy at my local comic book shop. I like to keep the little guys in business. The owner practically knows me and gives me discounts and occasionally free stuff.

I buy trade paperbacks from bookstores like Barnes & Noble because they give me a discount while my local shop will usually charge me the regular price. But if Amazon.com has my title of the trade paperback I'm looking for then I buy it there, and take advantage of the huge savings.
