My "Way" into comic stuff was looking out for characters i was already interested in (from YT videos, movies, or whatever). I started making "lists" for those characters and created a continuity, since many characters have a story that spreads across multiple runs. I managed to get a whole chronologic order for Ikol Loki and (who would have guessed 🤣) legion. And on the way you just pick up new stuff the comic community is talking about. I just picked up "The Button" and will get Doomsday Clock soon. I think the best way to prepare for comics is picking out (before you go into the shop) what storyline (like last year AXE) or character you gonna follow. Then look what can be found

@TheComicBookGamerShow 5 месяцев назад

You and Legion 😂 haha but yeah that’s an awesome way to get into comics!

Thanks for the debrief. I've been buying comics since the early 1960s, and now own a couple thousand comic books (stored in containers and packaged in bags and cardboards). I'm retired now and only purchase about a dozen or more trade paperbacks each year (from Dark House, DC, Marvel or Image comics). Hopefully the recent shift towards digital stories does not result in a decline in the value of my collection.

@TheComicBookGamerShow Месяц назад

That’s incredible that you’ve cherished this for so long! Great to keep up with new trades throughout the year

@Wabin22 2 месяца назад

Great stuff man! I've been reading Conan for a couple of years and I'm starting to look at other characters like Spawn, Red Sonja and Black Panther. But my problem is the availability and that even Epic Collections are expensive and hard to get if you want to read the original stuff.

@thebc5754 5 месяцев назад

It used to be that my main source of knowing the comics was either my marvel encyclopedia that listed thousands of characters and major storylines they were in or it was by reading the wikis. While I'd say those are still my main sources, I did finally start to collect a few comics. Right now I've got two collected editions of Moon Knight. One is the Bendis run and one is the Lemire run. I've found that these character focused collected editions are super easy ways to just get into one character and story line. One of the main reasons I've had trouble with getting into comics is because often a character's solo run also has issues that pertain to an ongoing event. So the collected editions help trim the fat and just tell a single story. I will probably continue to just look for characters and storylines I find the most interesting and buy the collected editions so I don't have to hunt for random single issues that might not always fit the story. Great video by the way. You deserve more subscribers!

@TheComicBookGamerShow 5 месяцев назад

I have both of those Moon Knight books too! So good! I really enjoyed how out of the box Bendis’s book was. Totally agree on your points! Thank you so much for watching and supporting!

I'm liking your videos so far, I've been getting back into comics this December and just started reading titles I've been seeing in the past and never had a chance to read. I read the The Three Jokers comic for the first time and I really liked the art, the action and the story. I'm currently trying to get into more underrated characters in comics.

@TheComicBookGamerShow 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching! Really appreciate it! And yeah Three Jokers was a fun read. Welcome back, hope you get to catch up on ones you missed!

@maul_3608 4 месяца назад

My advice would be read what you like and don't get caught up in all the variants. It gets very daunty very fast like you said. Spent on year before i figured out how the stories and issues coincicde

@TheComicBookGamerShow 4 месяца назад

Absolutely true!

@Hman69 4 месяца назад

The thing i always hated about comics was how confusing it was to start a story. You always had to have read other stories before this one and manga generally doesn't have that problem but this video really helped me want to give comics an actual try.

@TheComicBookGamerShow 4 месяца назад

I’m glad I could help with that! That was the biggest thing that tripped me up too from the beginning. It honestly still gets me sometimes too but not as bad

@hankscorpion9939 4 месяца назад

Great video! And very necessary. There must be a lot of MCU/DCEU fans who were interested in the comics over the last decade or so who got put off by how messy it all it. Compared to how easy it is with manga or the Walking Dead or something. It would be great if Disney+ had some features on the comics that inspired the movies, or other explainers that could help bring in more readers. Maybe even selling a curated selecting of comics at a stand at the movie theatre when the relevant movie is showing.

@TheComicBookGamerShow 4 месяца назад

Awesome idea! That would definitely make comics for the MCU, for example, be much more approachable if Disney+ had a section pointing out relevant reads that help give more backstory. I really like what DC did at the end of the flash trailer where they told you the 3 big relevant reads to get an idea of where the story would go

My only problem is when there are thousands of issue 1’s. “Oh you like Batman, you should read Batman #1” “Yeah which one” !!!? That being said I’m trying to get into comics & I’m really surprised I have a lot of image, like more than the big two which is strange seeing as they are like the beginners of comics but I always see cool art for an image comic & just have to read it sometimes !

@TheComicBookGamerShow 5 месяцев назад

Totally true there’s a bunch of number 1s flooding the stores, almost monthly. And yeah image has some really dope art for sure!

Yeah I just got really into comic books recently through the new Ultimate Spiderman series, I got the first 2 issues so far and I been really enjoying it. He’s been one of my favorite superheroes and I just heard about it through a friend they was redoing the ultimate universe series and thought why not, it seems like a good time to get into comics.

@charlieisc9913 3 месяца назад

When I was getting into dc comic at first. I was like okay I’ll buy just the green lantern omnibus and didn’t plan on jumping in to the whole lore of dc

@TheComicBookGamerShow 4 месяца назад

That was my exact plan too for DC. I wanted to get the Geoff Johns omnibus but couldn’t afford it at the time, so I bought trade paperbacks one at a time of the main stories that lead up to Sinestro Corps war (rebirth, wanted, etc.) I highly recommend that similar kind of plan of just getting into a character you like and then spinning off from there to get invested in the whole universe

I've been reading comics for the last 14 years and have officially dropped it going on 5 months now. It's just too expensive, and the quality and care just isn't there anymore sadly. It sucks because I really enjoy this hobby, but its just not the same nowadays.

@TheComicBookGamerShow 4 месяца назад

Sorry to hear that! There’s definitely been a change over the years for sure. What were some of your go-to books/characters you read?

@matthewwalton4133 4 месяца назад

Batman, Superman, Daredevil, Immortal Hulk, Thor, Xmen (especially when Hickman was doing his hox pox stuff) and really anything that looked really interesting to me. I'll still be picking up Saga when that comes back because I've been collecting that since issue one and while it's lost a little steam I still really enjoy it. I kinda lied though because I do still collect one comic by Daniel Warren Johnson and that's Transformers..DWJ has so much talent though and the quality is always there for only 3.99.. it's a must for me. Marvels numbers ones were at 6.99 for a first issue and then it drops to 4.99 - 5.99, that's just stupid prices in my opinion for a book I may or may not enjoy. I may checkout the new ultimate spiderman but idk yet because it's still a 5.99 issue and I think the sweet spot for me is just 3.99.
