Despite being a DC thread, I have to start with some Marvel love:
I've been reading Marvel since I was a kid - I dabbled in the DC classics + Vertigo as well as other pubs, but 90% of what I read was Marvel.
I stopped for a while in HS, but found the Ultimate universe late in college. A fun way to get back on the train for a little bit.
Flash forward to Secret Wars - the culmination of the entire Marvel Universe, in my eyes. Hickman did the impossible - he ended the Marvel Universe for me.
He did such a good job, that I've been feeling the itch to move on & dive into DC proper. I've been dabbling across N52 & Rebirth and really enjoying what I've read so far. Morrison's Batman was great, The Omega Men was a GOAT comic.
What are your favorite runs, why & what's the reading order?
Some of the things on my 'to-read' list:
- Grayson
- Darkseid War
- Planetary, Midnighter, Midnighter & Apollo
- Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia
- 52
- Geoff John's GL Epic
- Azarrello & then Rukka's Wonder Woman
- Gotham Central
