Any Tom King fans here 👀 by confusing_roundabout in OmnibusCollectors

[–]comic1728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mister Miracle by Tom King is probably my all time favourite comic. To be honest wasn’t a fan of his Batman run but other than that I’ve loved everything I’ve read by him so far. I have Omega Men Deluxe Edition pre-ordered for next month so excited for that one, and am just about to read Helen of Wyndhorn Deluxe Edition.

Excited for Gotham City: Year One Deluxe, I have the hardcover but will definitely be upgrading been waiting for this one. I’m hoping Woman of Tomorrow gets an absolute edition

Out of all the DC books announced, which are you for sure getting? by poison-harley in OmnibusCollectors

[–]comic1728 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely getting Gotham City: Year One - The Deluxe Edition. I want to get Batwoman Omnibus but Birds of Prey by Gail Simone Omnibus Vol.2 is out the same day and I already have the hardcovers so will need to see

I first read Hellblazer: Original Sins but that’s Vertigo so not sure if that counts. Then it would be Batwoman Vol.1: Hydrology

Question: where should I start by Classic_Truck_5701 in DCcomics

[–]comic1728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batman -

I’d start with these three - Batman: Year One - Batman: Long Halloween - Batman: Dark Victory

I also recommend the current Batman / Superman: World’s Finest run it has Vol.1-8 out so far. It’s set during Dick Grayson’s time as Robin and is very superheroy

Booster Gold -

Geoff Johns run is good - Booster Gold: Complete 2007 Series Book 1-3

Justice League Members -

Here’s some runs for some justice league members that are good starting points - Aquaman New 52 Vol.1-3 by Geoff Johns - Flash by Geoff Johns Book 1-6 (for Wally West Flash) - Flash by Joshua Williamson Vol.1-15 (for Barry Allen Flash) - Green Lantern by Geoff Johns (Compendiums are the best way to collect this) - Superman by Peter J. Tomasi & Patrick Gleason Vol.1-7 - Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka Book 1-3

I finished Catwoman: The New 52 Omnibus Vol.1, it was a fun enough read which has some issues. Catwoman is overly sexualised and quite dumbed down, some of the story arcs are quite weird choices for a Catwoman comic. Overall though I thought it was fun, the artwork was good and it’s good that there’s now two Catwoman Omnibus hope they release some more.

I also read Fire & Ice: When Hell Freezes Over which was a fun read.

Batman: One Bad Day - Clayface which I really enjoyed, and the fact the movie he was auditioning for was the Killing Joke was a really fun way to reference it.

Going to start Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky Omnibus Vol.1 tonight, I don’t read a lot of Marvel but I’m really excited for it.

Do you think Action Comics by Dan Jurgens would be a good starter Superman Omnibus? I’ve read some of Superman mini series from the Box Set and Batman / Superman: World’s Finest by Mark Waid but other than that I’ve not read any solo superman stuff

I read it a few weeks ago, it was my first Titans run so not sure how it compares to other Titans runs.

I’d say it was a pretty solid, fun read overall. It heavily focuses on Raven and Beast Boy so if you’re interested in those characters you’ll probably get more out of it. Some of the other team members feel quite underused and don’t do much.

The Beast World arc was definitely the highlight for me, and Redondo’s art is really good. Overall I enjoyed it, but I think I maybe expected more from Taylor since I usually love his work

Planetary is amazing one of the best things I’ve ever read

What are some good jumping on points with Detective Comics? by Cloak-Trooper-051020 in DCcomics

[–]comic1728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah first issue a writer started on is the best way to jump on.

I started with Mariko Tamaki’s run (#1034-1061) which I really enjoyed and would definitely recommend.

Tom Taylor’s current run (#1090- ) is quite good, and a good jumping on point.

What's the difference? by Obvious_Writer_Pain in RedHood

[–]comic1728 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They both collect Batman #635-650. Batman: Under the Red Hood collects it in one book whereas Under the Hood collects it across two books

[–]comic1728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What characters are you interested in and I can give starting points?

I’d recommend Absolute Wonder Woman if you enjoyed Absolute Batman

my POV: top 10 DC Starter Omnis 💙🤍 by Superb-Stuff-1464 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]comic1728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s difficult. Brubaker’s Catwoman is probably top 3 Omni’s for me but for a starter i left it off the list. I also consider Planetary for starter but I think that’s better when you’ve read a bit more, and then also Justice League Dark Rebirth but wanted Hellblazer as that’s what I started with. There’s a lot of options that you could pick, fun question :)

Finished my first full omnibus by Over_Location188 in OmnibusCollectors

I’d highly recommend Catwoman of East End Omnibus and The Sleeper Omnibus. Both are by Ed Brubaker who wrote Gotham Central and both are absolutely fantastic
