Sorry to bother you, but I’m trying to get into comics and I was wondering if you had any comic recs? Your takes on the characters seem really interesting so I kinda wanted to know you’re favorite runs/ what you find interesting or important.
Thank you for your time, and have a nice day!
Hi dear! My advice is
Fuck everyone. If something sounds cool you can start there hell the first comic I finished was Grayson? Find your lil guy/girl and go for it!
If you wanna be more linear or if you wanna start reading about a character that you don’t know that much about then genuinely the best piece of advice I’d give you is literally go “Nightwing/arsenal/flash/batgirl/stephanie brown/cassandra Cain/literally pick a hero or civilian name it doesn’t even matter reading order Reddit” that’s literally how i got started
If you want my opinion, I’d avoid the new 52 for one of your first series. Despite all the shit I give the new 52 a lot of it is fun. But the best way I can put it! Is that a lot of the characters only exist in the new 52
Like dick and Jason are entirely different motherfuckers in the new 52. Dick specifically?? Wearing red?? Atrocious
My personally favorite runs right now are a mix of fun new stuff and older classics (and mostly Dick Grayson sue me if you have seen my lil account you know by now I am a dick Grayson Stan first human second call me Tim Drake)
This starts in a certain order and slowly devolves I’m sorry I tried! But… not that hard
-Batman year 1
- Batman and Robin year 1 (2024) - my son is adorable here
-batman the long Halloween
- absolute Batman (honestly all of the absolute verse the Wally stuff is looking really promising so far tho I won’t co-sign it yet)
- Robin year 1
-worlds finest! (Thank you Dan mora we all say in unison)
- Nightwing year 1
- teen titans (yes including Judas contract)
- new teen titans
- Nightwing 1996 (ik Dixon is a lil bitch but I like this run)
-outsiders (2003) - DickRoy divorce arc my beloved
- now technically you need to read rebirth but I fucking hated the himbofication of my son so read at your own risk
- Batman and Robin 2009 (villain Jay Jay my son)
-NIGHTWING ALL IN (the moment they de-lobotomized him I lost my marbles)
- supersons (cute, light hearted, adorable, if Damian doesn’t become a favorite of yours after this I’ll write you an apology note)
- Batman: under the red hood
- Grayson (this comic fucking sucks but I’m a sucker for this genre of super spy also the ART STYLE)
-Batman hush (also the new hush bc I like Jason’s suffering)
YOU DONT NEED TO READ ALL OF THIS!!!! If you want a lazy way to get all the background info! Fandom wikis exist! Literally pick and drop whatever you want. If anyone judges you! They suck!
Also some of these aren’t good!! (Grayson) the fandom doesn’t like em but I LIKE EM! They’re fun! My
My takes on characters changes depending on like the era I’m reading and even the comic I’m reading (for example Jason is currently my son my lil baby boy and a month ago I wanted them to blow him up again) but I might make a post detailing like my actual canon only opinion of certain characters (mainly titans and core batfamily)
Anyway HAVE FUN AND HAPPY READING :D
