A while ago Nabo started a thread about DC comics relaunching their line, and I know several of the guys were upset because they had grown up with these stories. However for me it has been nice, because I was too young when comics were at the most popular point. I've always wanted to read the Batman comics but now most of the story lines are so convoluted that I don't know where to begin. I know that Frank Millers The Dark Knight and a few others are classics, but this concept allows me to read Batman from the 'new' beginning. Unfortunately however there are several comics in the batman line. There are Batman, Batman and Robin, Dark Knight and Detective comics. I've started reading the dark knight, but I was wondering if anyone here are reading the comics. Any of you guys still read comics or have a suggestion for which to read?

I've been avoiding them. Would like to hear if any old-timers like me have started reading them and have enjoyed reading them before I look into em.

Try 'BATMAN: HUSH'
and 'THE KILLING JOKE'. 'BATMAN: YEAR ONE'. I've read the first and the last. The middle one was suggested to me online.finsincebirth likes this. -

"Ultimates" is written by Jonathan Hickman who in my opinion is one of the best comic writers out there and it is the best of the three Ultimate titles. Ultimate Spiderman was replaced by Miles after the Green Goblin killed him during ultimate fallout. The other book is Ultimate X-Men which is great too. The great thing is they are all amazing books that stand alone and you wont have to read a whole bunch of other stuff to understand whats going sort of like the DC 52 intiative but with way less tiles.

A milestone marker I had placed in my life was living to see Action Comics #1,000. Well, after hearing what D.C. decided to do: FML.
I've been off and on with comic books over the years. It's a cycle. I start back up again with 1 or 2 titles. Then realize I need to read 5 other books to know what's going on in the others. Before you know it I'm up to over $100 a month. Then I quit cold turkey. Repeat. Before I quit last time around I was really into the New Avengers. Wasn't a big fan of the Ultimate Spider Man stuff.finsincebirth likes this. -
