| davidponte 04/27/17 1:14:29 AM #147: | Super late to this topic, but I'm actually one of those people mentioned in the first few posts who transitioned from watching the movies to becoming a regular comics reader. This was about 3-4 years ago, and I initially was more interested in reading Marvel because of the MCU, until I realized how non-newbie friendly comics were in general. I'm the type of person who likes to start things from the beginning, and while that obviously wasn't feasible with comics, I seen that DC had the New52, and that I could essentially get in on a "beginning", with the flagship titles being approximately 30 issues in, and stuff like Deathstroke and Harley Quinn just launching. The first comics I ever bought were the first 6-7 New52 Harley Quinn issues, New52 Deathstroke #1, and The Court Of Owls trade. By the time I had caught up in everything I was following, and wanted to branch out into Marvel, they had already begun the process of the constant reboots, which turned me off completely. I wasn't interested in having to start over from #1 constantly, and also wasn't interested in new takes on characters. Female Thor can be cool, but as someone who wanted to get into it, that wasn't the take on the character that I was looking for. So yeah, despite being first interested in Marvel, I now only read DC. I'm currently pulling 11 runs and most of the event stuff so I've got some general knowledge on current DC, although I'm about a month behind on actually reading everything. I've been working on catching up on some of the most iconic Batman stories as well, and just got started on Morrison's run with Batman & Son/The Black Glove. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
