Re: DC: Where Do I Start Now?
Agreed. They changed very little in regards to Batman. The only thing that ticked me off was how they handled Timnycjadie wrote:I'd read the Batman run. It's amazing. I think the Court of Owls will be one of the great Batman runs of this decade.

Good Superman stories have been absent from the New 52 in my opinion. I don't like how Superman has been portrayed at all.CaptnAmerca wrote:Thanks everyone! I'm definitely going to check this Owls story out. Is Court and Night two different things? If so which is first?
All Star Western ...the title alone has piqued my interest.
Is anyone writing good Superman stories these days?
I've also seen people mention Aquaman. This seems silly, but so did the idea of a Hawkeye book and that is fantastic.
Those are great prices on trades, but I'm all digital these days. I miss having physical copies, but I don't miss arguing with the wife about where to store them
The Geoff Johns run on Aquaman was VERY enjoyable and though I have continued to buy it I haven't read any of the stuff past Johns' run yet. Just been too busy! I also buy mostly digital for the EXACT same reason. Happy wife, happy life.

Wow.
I purchased and read the Court of Owls and Night of Owls trades. I have to thank you because that was the best Batman story I've read in a long time. Since Red Hood at least.

Justice League 3000 is a lot of fun. Some of Howard Porter's best work, IMO.
If you're looking for out-of-continuity stuff (and who wants anything to do with current Dc continuity?) Batman '66 and the Legends of the Dark Knight and Adventures of Superman titles are always top notch.

Cap: Under the Red Hood is previous to Morrison's run, right?
Then I dare say: you are soooooo wrong, good sir.

I think so. Not sure, but I don't remember Morrison having done Batman yet by that time.ShadowTuga wrote:Cap: Under the Red Hood is previous to Morrison's run, right?

Mkb28I envy you, mkb28. That's the one book of all his comics I want a signed copy of. And Capullo's would be awesome as hell, of course.

Re: DC: Where Do I Start Now?
I'm currently in the middle of what is perhaps my 5th or 6th reading of it all. Bought the floppies for Batman and Robin and so I had to go and read those issues before boxing them, but since I'm reading them, why not all of it?Lightning Strike wrote:Morrison's run was epic!ShadowTuga wrote:mkb28 wrote:Awesome!

His stuff on JLA is almost as good, almost. The "I'm 3, 4 OR 5 steps ahead of everyone, everywhere- ALL THE TIME" Batman begins here. His Batman is so awesome, a bit more would be overload.
Mark Waid took the cue and did the Tower of Babel storyline, where this Batman shows "I have secrets on all of us, but it's all for our own good.
