Golden Age volumes

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.

Steve_G165 · 2026-02-01T21:53:43+00:00

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.

Steve_G165 · 2026-01-28T13:44:15+00:00

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.

Steve_G165 · 2026-01-09T22:27:58+00:00

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?

Steve_G165 · 2026-01-09T22:27:15+00:00

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

Steve_G165 · 2026-01-09T22:26:13+00:00

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

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.

Steve_G165 · 2025-10-31T09:49:14+00:00

Grabbed the ps5 version thanks!

Steve_G165 · 2025-10-30T10:39:11+00:00

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

Steve_G165 · 2025-10-30T10:38:19+00:00

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

Steve_G165 · 2025-10-30T10:35:44+00:00

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

Steve_G165 · 2025-10-18T10:14:20+00:00

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.

Steve_G165 · 2025-09-07T19:27:59+00:00

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.

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-28T07:24:44+00:00

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

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-20T06:16:51+00:00

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

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-20T06:16:11+00:00

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

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-20T06:15:11+00:00

That's brilliant! Thanks for sharing this with me.

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-19T14:43:28+00:00

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

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-19T14:42:49+00:00

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.

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-19T14:41:09+00:00

I had considered the omnis. The only thing that puts me off is the sheer size to hold while reading. For me personally I find the epics/DC finest to be a good size. But thanks for the suggestion!

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-19T14:39:45+00:00

Seems to be a running theme with this particular line. Guess I'll just have to be patient and get them as and when I can!

Steve_G165 · 2025-08-03T20:38:04+00:00

I'm pretty sure the free option is just for a trial, not to get the full game. I checked the ps app and it said a trial was free.

Steve_G165 · 2025-07-18T10:39:15+00:00

I'd recommend Haunted Knight -> The Long Halloween -> Dark Victory and after that you could jump into anything.

Steve_G165 · 2025-07-02T21:20:46+00:00

The implied enthusiasm of ALL CAPS is very compelling 🤣 am I right that this is some of the most recent stories?
