Unite here. So what do you read?

 

I'm a DC fanboy, with my top five right now(in order) being

 

1. Batman:Detective Series(All the other Batman arcs right now, pretty much suck but DS, has been outstanding

2. Hellblazer

3. JLA

4. 100 Bullets

5. Lucifer

 

Batman:DS, has been really outstanding as of late, including the latest issue, with a whole new side of Joker, that could very well be an amazing storyline/relationship, for future episodes.

 

Hellblazer, used to be my favorite comic, but's been slipping ever since that awful movie came out.

I read a lot of stuff, so, where to start... I'll go in random order.

 

1. Batman

2. All-Star Superman

3. Green Lantern

4. Daredevil

5. Detective Comics

6. Captain America

7. 100 Bullets

8. Uncanny X-Men

9. All-Star Batman

10. The Invisibles

11. The Losers

12. WE3

13. Vinamarama

14. Seaguy

15. Hellboy

16. V for Vendetta

17. Green Arrow

18. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

 

I've got a pretty extensive collection of Batman, owning all the single issues from 1987 onto today. Batman and Detective are the two comics I can't live without. I'd probably put Daredevil and Green Lantern as my second tier of following and everything else is a free-for-all.

 

I'm primarily a DC guy but I like some Marvel.

Yeah, I still have all my brother's Batman's/Superman dating back from 86, I've read through most of the Batman's and pick and choose at the Superman's. Mostly the Superman dies arc.

 

A little off key, but half the fun of Comics(at least for me), is the pickup, my comic shop is this little hole in the wall, on a rundown street in town, and shares the place with a few apartments in the same building. The cast of charachter's there is great.

I get probably 70% of my stuff online and get the rest of my stuff at a local place on campus that has everything. But, you can't beat the 30-60% you save ordering off-line, though, for trades and collections.

 

Yeah, I sporadically go through Superman, but generally get disappointed after awhile.

My official comic nerd membership card should be coming in the mail sometime this week. I don't pick up the series like 'Batman: #324', though I probably will eventually, but I have read a couple graphic novels. So far I've gotten to:

 

1. V for Vendetta

2. Watchmen

3. Batman: Year One (Just Finished)

4. Batman: The Long Halloween (Stopped after the first 50 pages once I realized that there were books before it in the continuity)

 

I'm going to be starting Batman: Haunted Knight in the next couple of weeks once I finish reading 'The Futurist' by James P. Othmer (excellent so far, I highly recommend it) and Slapstick by Kurt Vonnegut (haven't started it yet).

 

So, really, I'm just getting started. Once I get through my Year One/Haunted Knight/TLH/Dark Victory arc, I will undoubtedly continue reading if I can figure out what comes next in the continuity.

Continuitywise it's hard to read everything in order, because newer and newer material comes out chronicling those early years.

 

I'll tell you what, though... If you're trying to do so, I can give you a pretty good list of what should be in continuity, from my own collection. What the heck, I'll do so now...

 

1. Batman: Year 1

2. Batman: Man Who Laughs (new Joker first appearance)

4. Batman: Venom (becomes VERY important later)

5. Batman: Four of a Kind (first appearances of Poison Ivy, Riddler, Scarecrow and Man-Bat)

6. Batman: Gothic

7. Batman and the Monster Men (GREAT series by one of my fav. writer/artists; the sequel to the series, Batman and the Mad Monk is hitting newstands later this month as well)

8. Batman/Wonder Woman/Superman: Trinity

9. Batman: Haunted Knight

10. Batman: Faces

11. The Long Halloween

12. Dark Victory

13. Catwoman: When in Rome (chronicles Catwoman's disappearance from Dark Victory, with Riddler)

14. The Batman Chonicles: The Gaunlet (first Robin adventure after DV)

15. Robin: Year One (chonicles Robin's first year, but still Batman centered and a great art and writing team)

16. Batgirl: Year One (like above, somewhat different art, same writer)

 

This is a beginner's list. There's a Batman/Ra's Al Ghul out there, but the writer is so terrible, I refuse to give it a chance. I would say this is merely a beginner list and it would probably take you awhile to get most of this (monetarily it ain't cheap) and absorb.

The Punisher and GI Joe is all I collect.

I stopped reading a couple of years ago but I was a religious DC guy.....Azrael, the Ray, JLA, Superman, Batman among others....I remember Batman vs. Bane, Superman's death, Bloodlines, Zero Hour....all that stuff.

Now Batman has two kids and Riddler's a good guy who helps him solve crimes.

Have always been more of a Marvel guy, but I was away from comics for a while & have just recently started reading some titles again.

 

Been reading The Walking Dead, very good Zombie comic.

 

Marvel:

Astonishing X-Men

New Avengers

 

As for DC...

Identity Crisis Stuff

Batman & Robin (yes just for the Lee-Miller collaboration)

 

It'll take me a while to get back into the swing of things & decide for myself what's good right now.

I don't think you could do wrong with All-Star Superman. It's one of the best things on the rack.

 

I didnt like Walking Dead. At all. I have the first trade with the first 5 or 6 issues and it bores me to tears. I dunno, maybe it's that it reminded me of Y: the Last Man but with Zombies (I think I hate Bryan K. Vaughn). I DO kind of want to check out Marvel zombies, but I'll really have to see and I wonder if Kirkman has some non-zombie ideas floating out there.

I'm a big fan of JLA. I got hooked from the tv series and have been buying trades from Amazon to get myself caught up.

Batman the dark knight returns by Frank Miller

 

The greatest comic story ever, that is the one movie I want.

Probably never happen. And if it did, I'm betting Miller would have little to nothing to do with it (generally Hollywood has a way of changing most creator's visions and Miller has had his work messed with before at the expense of the movie) and it would get changed to the point where it would be unrecognizeable when compared to the source material.
