| I have not really been keeping up with most DC titles since the New 52. It's mostly just Justice League and Teen Titans I've been following. Not been too thrilled with the organization at Marvel either. It's confusing just sticking to the X-men titles. I wasn't initially going to, but now I'm going to complete Secret Wars just to see how they'll end this God Emperor Doom business. |

| Did you hear about the rumors they might reboot it? (DC) IDEK man New 52 was such a flop Some good series outta it was probably Grayson Heard Nightwing sucked =/ |

RedTie said: I don't really like the direction some of the New 52 characters are taking. I haven't been able to keep up with comics lately but last I saw of Batgirl she was taking a selfie. I'm like..."wut" Oh yeah I remember that, Also I heard some people were talking about Batgirl x supergirl being canon lol |

Nightwing said: Did you hear about the rumors they might reboot it? (DC) IDEK man New 52 was such a flop Some good series outta it was probably Grayson Heard Nightwing sucked =/ Yes, but I doubt they'd do another reboot so fast. What they may do is find a way to make the pre-Flashpoint stuff canon again. The Nightwing series wasn't very good, but I liked the addition of a Sinestro series and the Birds of Prey one had a pretty good run. Interestingly enough, the Batman titles were best when the entire bat family was included. All their different personalities interacting is something that you just can't mess up. |

| I agree! Heard the batman incorporated issues were great! I should check out batman and robin incorporated asap! This is where I read about the reboot https://www.inverse.com/article/10530-dc-will-relaunch-its-comics-yet-again-in-june-to-reflect-its-tv-and-movies Saw it get mention on gaf as well |

Does this mean comicbook Joker will have damaged written on his forehead? Like I am all for the new Joker I think he will be fun, but I do think that one tattoo was going a bit too far. |
 |
| Maybe they are trying to get the movie goers to buy the comics? |
|
| Maybe, but I don't know if altering stuff would help. A reboot might though, as people can start fresh and all that. But if they model it after the movies then idk. Man of Steel wasn't super great, it was aight, but nothing to write home about. So far the DC movies are a bit mediocre, the only one that looks like fun so far is Suicide Squad. So idk if a reboot will help sell more comics, it might if the new movies are good. But after seeing the trailer of Batman v Superman, I just don't know. |

| Current ASM is quite different them what it used to be, but I still enjoy it. I do most of my reading on Marvel Unlimited. But those three I'm collecting. I wish DC had something similar. I'd read alot more DC if they did. |

Just the stuff I've heard both some of the character origin stuff as well as some of the designs, it just doesn't sound very appealing. Not to me anyways. |

He comes at the end right? Yeah. He becomes Spidy pretty close to the end. He is pretty good, imo. I haven't read any of him post Secret Wars, besides his part of ANAD Avengers, but what I did read, I liked. He has slightly different powers then Peter, so it adds something new to it. |

| I have a couple, and in my past I read quite a bit of the Phantom (some people might argue that he's a spuerhero but I disagree.) and Asterix And I got The Walking Dead, V for Vendetta and 300 which I plan to read in the near future. |
|
| I got some Garfield? When I was a kid, they used to stock Archie comics at the supermarket, 5 dollars a pop, my father used to buy me those sometimes lol I have some Simpsons ones |
|
| The Walking Dead is about it really... |
| ~ ~ ~ Where Angels Lose Their Way ~ ~ ~ /| ~ Love would have conquered all..... ~ |\ |
| I read Archies and Tintin .Though they are pretty popular. |

Dokubachi said: Does anyone read comics which are not specifically about super heroes ? Aside from some select Batman Stories, Frank Miller's Daredevil origin story and Watchmen I've most read non-superhero comics and graphic novels so far. Fables and The Walking Dead are probably the biggest franchises I fanboy about and I also love pretty much anything by Alan Moore (his Swamp Thing run was great). Another comic author I adore is Craig Thompson. Habibi is probably one of my favorite pieces of literature, period. Bone is another one of my favorites. Very quirky fantasy series with lovable characters and universal appeal. Most recently I've read The Unwritten which did a pretty good job at exploring stories and language at a meta level while also presenting an engaging plot and entertaining parody elements of a well-known series of books about a magical boy. There's More Stuff but those are pretty much my alltime and most recent favorites. |

| Question: If I wanted to get into newer batman comics, where would be a good place to start. I like the darker stuff I guess like the Dark Night or something close to that. Anyone have some favorites.?? Dokubachi said: Does anyone read comics which are not specifically about super heroes ? Yeah actually most of what I read is non super hero related. Some of my favorites are Hack/Slash, Locke and Key, East of West and the Humans. Hack/Slash is like a 90's teen horror flick with a goth mc babe and her brute of a sidekick Lock and Key is a psychological/ mystery thriller, Some really neat concepts in this one East of West is kind of a dystopian supernatural future The Humans is what would happen if you took The Warriors and mixed it with Planet of the Apes... on motorbikes. Very funny stuff in there |

I mostly read Image comics (TWD and East of West included) Dark Horse and Vertigo stuff I also read Valiant which is technically superheroes but totally different from the DC and Marvel universes. Craig Thompson is great, Blankets is usually what i tell people to check out if they want to get into the indie gn scene. @Pullman do you read any other small press/self published gns? i got a huge ass collection of them .__. I'm a big Jeff Smith fan too. Bone is amazing and i really liked RASL too! (look at your blog pics) |
| Y the last man huh Volume 1 26$ hardcover vs 18$ soft hmmmm |
|
| I have a few more graphic novels but since I tend to be mroe drawn to extensive universes and longer stories the majority of my collection are that kind of stuff. I have some french and german comics/graphic novels (I love Moebius art <3) and Flood by Eric Drooker is another one I enjoyed. Oh, and also Jeff Lemire. Also I agree, Y:The Last Men is always a good way to start getting into non superhero comics. It was one of the first for me too after 100 Bullets and Garth Ennis' Preacher. Speaking of which, since I'm a Garth Ennis fan I've been thinking about getting into The Punisher since he did a lot of stuff for that franchise IIRC. Plus the vigilante kind of 'superhero' has always been appealing to me unlike the ones with more supernatural elements. Anyone has experience with The Punisher and can recommend me a good entry point? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
I see it for ~12$ http://www.amazon.com/Y-Last-Man-Book-One/dp/140125151X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1456964843&sr=1-1&keywords=y+last+man |

Have you read Sandman, Lucifer, Books of Magic, Animal Man, etc? I love first wave Vertigo, thats how i got into comics. Ennis's Punisher run is great, but i recommend checking out The Boys, which was his own superhero verse series, has more of a Preacher feel. Ennis Punisher run is technically 2 different series. he did v4 and v5 of 616 Punisher and then a miniseries to wrap that storyline up. He also did 60 issues of Punisher Max which is a separate uni but draws alot from his 616 stuff Nightwing said: Canadian mate ^^ http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1401219217/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1977604502&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1563899809&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=0YSK845WFEYHNAXJF3JS Already past the get it here Friday option Have time to decide i have those HC editions, just a warning, not the best paper quality, the 2014 SC might be better EDIT: I FUCKING LOVE JEFF LEMIRE. favorite creator |
| Thanks for the Punisher info! And from the ones you mentioned I've read only Sandman which was one of my first comics and still one of my favorites. It's how I got to know Neil Gaiman. And I've already read The Boys (it's in my collection) which is why I was trying to branch out into Punisher for more Ennis. |

Ennis has alot of miniseries worth checking out too but im drawing a blank atm. His Crossed stuff is also very entertaining if you like graphic gore pron XD Have you read Transmetropolitan? another of my vertigo favs |

|
| @nightwing i haven't read too much x-men but all of Ed Brubaker's Captain America comics are amazing. idk what the reading order would be for trades (i read it digitally), cause the run spans a couple of series and miniseries, so you'd have to look into that, but its totes worth reading, really amazing, art is killer too |
