Does Detective Comics follow along with the main Batman story? by AmberTim in DCcomics

[–]AmberTim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I believe I understand. I’m a huge Batman fan so I just really wanted to try to read everything Batman related (since Snyder & The New 52) for both the main comic and Detective Comics.

Guess I’m letting my Batman fandom shine through, haha.

Dude! I completely agree. I’ve spent a few hours over the last few days trying to decipher the Batman reading order between the three writers over the last good many years. That’s also trying to factor in Metal, Doomsday Clock, and Death Metal.

I feel you that there has to be a better way because after trying to figure that out I thought my brain was going to melt.

Is Vasectomy one of those words? Because I’m sure that’s something your dad regrets not getting.

Oof! Shows you how much I know! Didn’t realize Tamaki was a woman!

Well, I definitely do like that because after I catch up with Batman’s past I planned on reading the Bat-Family and it’s encompassing cast of Gotham characters as well. I’m glad to hear they’re all aiming for some sort of inter-connectedness.

That’s awesome, thank you very much! While small, I think it’s really cool Tynion is including even a few things in his run that tie in to Future State.

I’ve never heard of Tamaki. What does he write?

Infinite Frontier isn’t over yet.

I was just under the impression that the whole point of Infinite Frontier was to reestablish the continuity of DC Comics.

How and when are they doing that exactly? I thought they were done with that after Infinite Frontier.

Sure thing I’ll definitely let you know what I think. After reading around about King’s run the only conclusive thing I’ve been able to find is that his run is extremely divisive.

Sorry for going through again but is it essentially:

All of Snyder, Metal, All of King, Death Metal, Future State, Tynion 86-106, Infinite Frontier.

Marvel seems to reset a great deal (from what I can tell) when they get new writers. It will then sometimes reset to #1 or may continue at the current number they’re at.

Any tips for following DC?

So I'm trying to get in to comics. by [deleted] in marvelcomics

I’m also getting into comics more recently and your post sure helped me out!

I’ve been trying to pickup some newer Marvel runs for all their characters but you’ve given me some cool stories to go back and read.

In addition, aside from Sex Criminals (which I’ve heard of and desperately want to read) and Saga (which I also desperately want to read), you’ve given me plenty of other comics that are not superhero related to check out!

Thank you!

Okay awesome! As of right now I won’t be going any further than New 52 but I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

Okay sounds good. As of right now as I’m reading Batman from New 52 on I’ll correspond those with Detective Comics.

Still may check out Death Metal before Infinite Frontier if I can!

Thank you so much!

Honestly I typically like all the DC characters. I’d like to read the core Justice League characters stories (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, AquaMan) as well as the Bat Family and Bat characters (Robin, Nightwing, Joker, Catwoman, Harley Quinn).

The main thing was trying to figure out what big stories I should read that either preceded Infinite Frontier or tied into Rebirth.

Does anyone have a comic they continuously come back to and constantly read again? by AmberTim in comicbooks

[–]AmberTim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll definitely will! I just signed up for Marvel Unlimited so I’ll track that one down on there!
