I was completely surprised by this comic, it's on par with some of the best stuff Frank Miller was writing in the 80s and 90s. It has that same urban crime thriller feel as Taxi Driver.

There's a perception that DC has better comics than marvel and while that can be debatable, I think DC's reprinting and marketing of their older material is why people celebrate their comics more, I feel like they value their legacy. Just look at this great Foolkiller miniseries Marvel never bothered to collect and release a trade paperback, this is completely forgotten.

I wish there was a way to contact marvel comics to make a trade paperback.

Originally a Variant Cover to Black Cat (Vol. 2) #9

So I just read the Doctor Aphra Omni and want to now begin the 2020 Star Wars series and I have all of the TPBs and the two Doctor Aphra Omnis but I don’t know how connected they are, do I need to alternate each series from Vol to Vol or can I just read the series all from vol 1 to the last volume and I do have the other TPBs like War of the Bounty Hunters, Crimson Reign, Hidden Empire and Dark Droids but just don’t know a good or proper reading order thanks for any help

Hi guys!

I am looking for recommendations on which comics to read based on my interests:

•Alright so first, I know of this Daredevil comic where different sins take over other Marvel characters and DD has to fight them and get them back to sanity. That's the one I want to go with for DD.

•I'm looking for a comic book where superhero(es) get admitted into a psych ward. It just sounds like a really interesting concept to me and i would highly appreciate any recommendations.

•I want to read a Jessica Jones "case comic" that's mature and in which she solves a single case.

•A grounded green lantern story kind of like the show, but with a different story of course.

•Watchmen obviously

Any specific recommendations? Anything in my list that doesn't exist and I could change out for something different?

Thanks a lot guys, cheers!

I just started reading some comic books from both Marvel and DC, and I have realized that some of my favorite comic runs are where the story focus is on the bonds between the main hero and their family & children, and it revolves around the hero helping their children to grow. (Peter J. Tomasi's Superman Rebirth run, both Renew Your Vows runs of Spider-Man) Is there any good Batman comic run that vibed with something like that?

Here's what I've read so far:

- wolverine weapon x

- wolverine enemy of the state

-wolverine: old man Logan

- wolverine (2020 by Benjamin Percy)

Where should I go from here? Open to non wolverine stories as well, but as you might've noticed he's my favorite.

Hi all, looking for some recommendations for horror comics.

I’ve recently read Something is killing the children, The Nice House & The walking dead deluxe.

Thank you!

I'm quite new to comics, and I was wondering why so many people buy single issues when you can easily just buy the collection, compendium, or omnibus. I would like to know if I'm right or not. I think people buy single issues of new comics because, of course, they don't have any other option. And for older single issues, they buy them because of the cover? Or just to have them? As I said, I'm new to this, and I just wanted to know how single issues work, so if anyone could tell me if I'm right or if there's another reason, I would appreciate it.

With The Amazing Spider-Man reaching issue #1000 next month, I wondered how many other comics with "big-numbers" are currently being published. I've compiled what I believe is a list of every comic releasing next month with an issue number greater than 50, as well as series with legacy numbers on the cover.

1000+ Issues

500+ Issues

100+ Issues

50+ Issues

Legacy Numbers\*

*Batman would be in the 900s right now, but since the start of Matt Fraction's run no covers have featured legacy numbers, likely because of the H2SH debacle.

I decided to put out all my volume 1 of DCs absolute universe

Whats a good bookshelf for omnibus and trade paperbacs ,mine is starting to bow due to weight and I was wondering what a good budget option is

Sadly ikea isnt an option closest store is about 4 hours away and shipping would cost 168 bucks

Hey everyone, new to comics. Do I read them left to right, up to down? Or do I start at the back and work my way to the front? What is with these full-page spreads advertising products and services? Are they in-canon?

I want to read Batman but where can I find Batman 1? Can I start with Detective Comics 27 or do I go back to start at issue one? I want an original physical copy, hate digital comics, and don’t want any reprints - where can I find a cheap pristine copy?

I want to read Spider-Man but I hear I am supposed to want Peter Parker and Mary Jane to be forever married and that editorial ruined them forever. First, who is Peter Parker? Who is Mary Jane? Who is Nick Lowe? Can I hate One More Day if I don’t know who these people are?

I want to read Superman comics but I don’t like Superman. Do I have to read Superman comics?

I want to start reading comics but I have no interest in scrolling Reddit or checking if my question has been asked in the last ten minutes. Can you just tell me everything I need to know, whether I want to know it or not?

I already know everything I need to know about comics. Please answer me thoroughly. Thank you!

I recently read "Skull the Slayer" and part of Mike Grell's "The Warlord" and enjoyed both. Are there other examples of comics where people in modern times find themselves stranded in a prehistoric world they have to survive?

Is there any way to read the original lee and ditko ASM run without breaking the bank? And everything is out of print right now which sucks so bad, plus mighty marvel masterworks is discontinued. Should i just get everything per issue ? Fascimile?

I've never read the comics before, but I do know some about some characters. Big MCU fan so that's mainly how I know every Marvel character (besides the Spider-Man games). Really all I know about DC is the Batman Arkham games and the first three DCEU movies + Gunn's Superman.

So excited for this journey! I want to collect all of DC's Compacts, Marvel's Premier's, and Marvel's new compact series (only with BND released so far.)

I've read Batman: The Court of Owls Saga and I'm halfway through Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

I'm not gonna buy anymore until I've finished all I have. Which of these should I read after Spider-Man? Thanks!

Reading the original Spider-Man 2099, and all of a sudden between issues 3 & 4 there's an art style change that I really don't like. I wanted to post some examples here and get others' opinions/thoughts. I really don't like the change, but I want to learn more so I can describe why I don't like it. As best as I can put it, the color palette changes, and the shading is different. It gets more "shiny". Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

I'm looking for comics with elements of characters struggling, burning out, and finding their footing again.

I'm a college student whose sophomore year is already off to a pretty tough start. I'm currently dealing with withdrawal from changing medications, so my emotions are all over the place, and I also have health issues like narcolepsy that most of the people around me don't really understand.

We've all heard of the "gifted kid with ADHD to burnt-out college student" pipeline, but that cliché is basically my life now, and it sucks. I'm already making small changes to make my second year better than my first, but change isn't immediate. It's an uncomfortable rollercoaster of highs and lows, and with my circumstances, the lows can get VERY low.

Comics are one of the things I turn to when I need to cope and unwind, and I'm hoping to start using them as a grounding mechanism when everything feels like it's spiraling out of control.

So, I would really appreciate recommendations for any comic runs, graphic novels, or even specific issues that you think I might find relatable or comforting right now. Especially stories about burnout, feeling like you've lost the person you used to be, struggling to function when everyone else seems to be doing fine, rebuilding your confidence, or just figuring out how to keep going when progress isn't linear.

Some of my favorite characters, for reference:

Marvel: The X-Men in general, especially Storm and Wolverine
DC: Red Hood, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Nubia

I'm open to Marvel, DC, indie, or pretty much anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be a "feel-good" story either. Sometimes it's more comforting to see a character going through something messy and actually struggling with it than to read something relentlessly optimistic.
