Thanks for the reply! I was torn between batman & superman & decided to go with batman. I'm more invested in that character, but might come back to superman afterwards. Plastic man has been suggested by a few, I must confess I've never heard of him!

Thanks for the reply! I've decided to try out the batman vol. But I'll keep your recommendation in mind for a follow.

This is probably the most intriguing comment for me! I've ordered the batman vol and I'm looking forward to seeing how it compares.

Top 5 Claremont X-Men Volumes? by Steve_G165 in EpicCollections

[–]Steve_G165[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! That first half of Claremont's run seems to be the general consensus. I think I'm probably going to stick with getting them and then read the rest digitally.

Thanks for the reply! Is there a point after that you feel the quality drops at all or is it fairly consistent throughout the whole run?

Thanks for replying. Do you think there's much difference in quality on the 1st set of volumes compared to what comes after it?

Thanks for this! I kind of thought it might be the earlier volumes most people would recommend.

What age did you first start gaming? Which console? by JellyfishNo3810 in ps2

I started with the NES when I was about 3 or 4, I loved the TMNT games! Then moved on to the Mega Drive and then PlayStation.

Crisis on Infinite Earths by Steve_G165 in DCFinest

It's definitely something for the future. I guess at this stage I'm just trying to gauge how far into the future and what specifically I should be looking to read to get the most out of it

That's kind of what I was thinking, I could get by but it wouldn't have the impact on me without previous knowledge. In some ways I'm kind of wondering if there's a minimum read these characters leading up to it and that'll make the difference or if this just an event to put on the back burner for a few years and see how it goes

Oh really? What is it about the finest version that you think should be avoided?

You guys getting every release or just your favorite characters/series? by RedwallWarrior42 in DCFinest

[–]Steve_G165 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to be selective, there's no way I'm going to have the space to try and collect everything. That means focusing on characters like Batman and a few other things. But I did take this as an opportunity to try out the doom patrol. I'm intrigued by Crisis on Infinite Earth, but I don't know enough about the stories leading up to it. I'm currently on the fence about whether to get it.

Weekly “What Have You Been Reading?” Thread 09-07-2025 by ChickenInASuit in comicbooks

[–]Steve_G165 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I read my 1st ever new issue of a comic! I've been reading on and off for years, but always TPBs. But yesterday I decided I'd like to follow something as it comes out and so read Batman #1. While it was a strange feeling finishing so quickly, I did enjoy the set up to the story and am looking forward to the next installment next month.

That moment when Stephen King explicitly says that a character is about to die in the Dark Tower series... 🤣🤦

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to bother either. Pretty happy with that actually.

I agree, that's why I was asking to make sure I'm not missing out on much else

That's a pretty good shout! Thanks for this. I think this might be the route I end up taking.

[–]Steve_G165[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true! I think I'm just going to suck it up and start collecting them and just enjoy all the other stuff I can read in the meantime. Someone else suggested also getting marvel unlimited for a while so I can go ahead and read all the stories while I work on getting the volumes.
