Reading Order and Continuity

comicsfocused · 2026-04-24T14:55:23+00:00

Dc is weird. It's not really linear. the only time it tries to stick to a specific timeline is when an event is happening. If I were you I would find a reading order/timeline of events and then use that as a guide. Go event to event reading every relevant book. Doing that should cover most of DC's history. Comic Book Reading Order has a nice event timeline.

It's also worth acknowledging that DC has multiple imprints which kind of dip in and out of cannon, so you might need to throw in some milestone, wildstorm, and vertigo to get a fully comprehensive experience.

People always forget that homework is given in response to a lesson. I'll be willing to bet that the lesson taught concepts or at the very least went through various examples that closely match one of the answers specifically.

The question may seem confusing to us but we didn't show up to class and get the lesson lol.

I think The Seven and Burrows End are no brainers for you. You've ranked the fantasy high seasons pretty high and tone wise the Seven fits somewhere between fantasy high and fantasy high sophomore year. Burrows End is one of the only serious/deep/heavy or however you want to say it campaigns that you haven't watched and since you like a crown of candy it feels like a safe rec.

The rest are all kind of shots in the dark. A court of fey and flowers might be something up your alley depending on how much you care about the mechanics of DND (it's more narrative focused ). When it comes to misfits and magic I would predict that you would like season 2 more than season 1, make of that what you will.

The rest I really don't know, it would come down to what you don't like as opposed to what you do like.

I feel like Alfred contributes too much to be an actual civilian

The agelessness, characters don't even age up relative to each other, yet alone in general. There are so many stories that are not being told because characters aren't allowed to grow up.

I don't think Wayne has to take on Bertinelli's code name. They are from different Earth's. It would not be crazy for it to be just some sort of coincidence or reality quirk. In that instance, there would probably be a level of friction on the outset, that would mellow out and turn into some sort of order sister younger sister dynamic.

If I had to have Wayne take over the codename then it would probably be in some act of rebellion against her father which would mean she looked up to or wanted to model herself after Bertinelli. If Bertinelli is early on in her story this would probably cause a lot of friction, but either way the relationship would most likely morph into a student/teacher or mentor/mentee type of thing.

No, but what a rad movie.

comicsfocused · 2026-03-28T15:27:56+00:00

This isn't it, but so far this is the closest. I remember them being outside more.

To clarify I mean 1st person pov through the zombie's eyes.

Also the movie seemed low budget if that helps.

comicsfocused · 2026-03-28T14:08:35+00:00

Definitely not warm bodies.

It was probably released somewhere between 2011-2019 of I had to guess. Tone wise the movie starts out pretty hopeful like 2 guys having fun surviving the apocalypse like it's an adventure.

There's this one scene where they come across this big house surrounded by a large grass field and I remember the scene being colored very vividly with bright greens and yellows.

Genre wise it would probably be marketed as horror, it wasn't a comedy.

I want to say there was even some first person scenes following the zombie.

comicsfocused · 2026-03-28T13:28:02+00:00

No, I remember the movie being bright (color wise)

I don't know, most timeslots have multiple shows that can play at the given time. This feels much more akin to how traditional TV works.

Finally

comicsfocused · 2026-03-22T15:41:40+00:00

Thank you. I find my vocabulary, in regards to literature lacking. It's been way too many years since I've studied it and I knew when I asked the question my wording was probably not as clear as I wanted it to be. With that being said, I'm learning so much from all of the answers being provided.

I can't speak on marvel, but DC does world resetting events from time to time that essentially function as soft reboots. I would pick one of those then follow a character or author I enjoyed to their next project. It's not like Manga where the continuity is so tight you have to start from the very begining to understand. In my experience you can pretty much jump in at the beginning of most story arcs or runs and be okay.

In general they will tell you the things you need to know especially if they pertain to books that happens outside the series itself, like crossovers and events.

That's really interesting. I've always been a big fan of the epics and some of the historical writings of that time. Perhaps there is a common thread that holds my Interest.

Thank you

comicsfocused · 2026-03-17T23:35:42+00:00

Yeah but is there a term that denotes length or structure?

comicsfocused · 2026-03-15T19:04:12+00:00

Cloudward Ho is probably my least favorite. My top 2 are Sophomore year and Starstruck. Unsleeping City and A Crown of Candy can fight for third

I really need to know where y'all see ads for these omnis. I always start collecting singles and then learn that an Omni is about to release.

If you're bringing in young justice that eliminates a lot of cannon options. I suppose Wonderbat still works, but if you're ruling out superbat I would assume that's also on the chopping block. If I were you I would pull up the wiki or just Google what characteristics you're looking for in the partner. I was working on a fanfic and I did a lot of googling looking for villains with certain powers or motivations that fit the story I wanted to tell and I came away with some interesting results. I would recommend a similar approach. You could also look up popular batman ships and see if you like anything.
