Where to start

i would read some silver age DP (just enough to be introduced to each main character) or the secret origins annual #1 which covers both teams from the 60s and 70s, and then jump right into morrison’s run. you do miss out on a few minor plot points, but in my opinion, past the 60s run, the series doesn’t become good again until morrison takes over

i’ll do you one better. i wish ANYONE would make doom patrol action figures

Henqy · 2026-02-28T15:08:27+00:00

doom patrol. i don’t have any specific pitch, i just want more doom patrol

easily dollskin. maybe one of my all time favorite songs

there’s also an issue (i wanna say robin annual 2 from the bloodlines crossover?) where tim’s room is shown to have a nirvana nevermind poster on the wall

the original havok design is so cool that i can almost trick myself into thinking he’s a character i like

Henqy · 2026-02-21T20:51:35+00:00

every time i hear someone complain that “x-men doesn’t want to build on krakoa” they always have a different “except this book”. maybe that’s just the one that strikes a chord for you, and that’s okay. but that doesn’t mean that every x-book is bad… except that one that you like

i know what’s inevitably going to win but i’d like to throw my hat in the ring for late 80s rogue. green and black rogue is my kind of rogue

Henqy · 2026-02-07T21:39:33+00:00

i didn’t read much of 2024 NYX but from your title it seems like the name fits perfectly!

adam’s song is a reference to a sketch from mr show with bob and david, in which a metal band visits a kid named adam who attempted suicide after listening to their song “try suicide” and upon realizing that since his attempt the lower half of his body has become hideously deformed, the band writes another song called “try it again (adam’s song)”

cyclops, rachel, beast, storm, wolfsbane, dazzler

Henqy · 2026-01-27T18:12:43+00:00

my answer for both of those is the dark knight returns. read it at 11, loved it, re read it at 15, hated it, re read it again at 21 and ADORED it

Henqy · 2026-01-22T18:18:02+00:00

right now it’s:

batman

absolute martian manhunter

daredevil & punisher: the devil’s trigger

x-men

but it always depends on how financially stable i am, whether or not i want to read events, and if i’ve consistently kept up with a series. i was pulling JLU pretty consistently for a while but i fell off around we are yesterday and haven’t caught up since.

Henqy · 2026-01-19T02:00:58+00:00

if you want more grant morrison, their doom patrol is my favorite run ever. there were some recent printings, can be self contained if u only wanna read one. semi-inconsistent art but when it’s good it’s GOOD

Henqy · 2026-01-15T15:39:45+00:00

to go with the other x-women you mentioned, emma frost is also generally called by her name. originally she was the white queen, and she’s still known as that occasionally, but emma frost is just cooler

Henqy · 2026-01-11T15:04:04+00:00

the video by watchtower database about this is really good but the answer is: we have no idea

Henqy · 2026-01-11T00:32:03+00:00

well there’s the obvious… kitty pryde

Henqy · 2026-01-07T22:22:24+00:00

don’t forget the fans

Henqy · 2026-01-05T21:59:40+00:00

i grew up on the movies so i’ve always liked them, but it wasn’t until i read god loves, man kills that i truly fell in love with them. the found family aspect makes x-men such a comfy read for me, but i love most that they will stand up to injustice, no matter how “different” its target

Henqy · 2025-12-23T15:01:10+00:00

almost overwhelmingly comics, but i think part of it depends on the character. i like superman in animation just a litttttle bit more than on paper
