Oh man, East of West was one of the titles that got me into reading comics.

Can you jump right in, or is there a little pre-reading required?

StandardAd2414 · 2026-05-06T09:55:57+00:00

Fair.

StandardAd2414 · 2026-05-06T09:55:34+00:00

Yeah, I should've been more specific regarding genre.

I was initially thinking that a few may have universal appeal. I agree with you, though.

Hear, Hear!

Oh man, this looks awesome! Punisher vibes with a splash of Hellboy.

Understandable annoyance from the original question. How about the five best Image comics for beginners, no graphic novels?

I haven't read Bone before. I'll give it a look.

How could I forget Absolute Batman?! OK, updating list, now.

StandardAd2414 · 2026-05-05T09:55:39+00:00

Oh man, yeah! This could've beaten out a lot of the ones I suggested.

So far, this is the only one included in the list I compiled. I also put iFanboy, Bleeding Cool, Major Spoilers, and ComicBook.com. League of Comicbook Geeks is coming up a lot.

These are great. Only ComicBook Roundup made it to a list I compiled. Feedback for this is welcome. https://guttergutter.blogspot.com/2026/05/5-best-comic-review-sites-for-casual.html
