I remember the first time I went to a comic shop and I asked the woman at the counter if she could recomend some batman comics. She handed me year one and I was a bit unsure because she said there was no big Gillian's in it. I bought the book and I must have read it about 3 times that weekend, it was so awesome. Great book to start with

@ClawBrick Год назад

What does “no big Gillian’s” mean? Like names?

Ultimate Spider-Man was the book that made me fall in love with comics as a kid,and it was amazing because it was the start of a new universe, so you didn’t have to catch up on anything, and you could read it straight through for the most part without having to get too sidetracked with tie-ins. And it’s just one of the best runs ever written in my opinion. The 133 issues might seem like a lot to a new reader, but it’s amazing.

@JerryLecor 6 лет назад

Ultimate Spiderman (2000) is what got me into comics

@datniggakermit5287 5 лет назад

yup

@Jmdeleeuw- 7 лет назад

Everybody should read Maus. It's such a special book that uses the comic genre way different than other comics do, imo.

@reginaldforthright805 Год назад

Why though? The art and layout are absolutely terrible and in no way represent what the comic form is capable of. Sure it deals with “serious” subject matter, but who cares? Who are you trying to impress?

@johnconstantine7442 4 года назад

The Long Halloween is also a Batman graphic novel (12 issues) that I think is good for newcomers. It stands on its own, presents some well known batman villains, has a noir vibe.

This video really helps. I've been wanting to get into comics for so long but it's just so daunting with the huge amount of choice. Lol. I also don't have a local comic store which sucks. I just read the first 3 volumes of the new 52 Batman and will order these comics you suggested. Thanks.

@SpaceLice 4 года назад

I feel so comfortable watching your videos. Super chill. I have been reading comics since i was a kid and I totally understand why you wouldn’t recommend Alan Moore first. I started reading comics with frank millers batman works. And once I got to reading the killing joke I didn’t understand why everyone loved it so much. But now that I’m older and understand comics and storytelling much more I really enjoy the killing joke. Cool video

@frankarmoton5644 8 лет назад

Gread vid, man! Kudos for including the Akira along! One of my favourites as it introduces a huge number of characters along the way and manages to hold it all together up till the end. Personally I would recommend Hugo Pratt`s Corto Maltese-series for aventure type of story fans and Jacques Tardi`s The Arctic Marauder too as its kind of pre-steampunk-adventure. Maybe also Al Williamson`s classic Star Wars comics.

@SequentialsDeluxe 8 лет назад

+Frank Armoton Great choices!

@AlexanderBalchev 7 лет назад

Great video! I just started reading comics and this video is of great help for me. One suggestion though - you could add timestamps with the name of the book in the description. It'll be easier for people to jump to the title they are interest in when they revisit the video again. I'm saying this since I've seen the video 3 times already. :D

@_z4ck16 4 года назад

My first comic series was The Wicked and The Divine, I definitely recommend it to people who are new to comics because it doesn't jump around a lot like some comics tend to do edit: spelling

@JuulfromdeEagle 7 лет назад

I'd start with a Marvel Unlimited subscription, that is how I got started reading all the Daredevil stuff from the late seventies untill the last of Mark Waid's run, same with Spider-Man and X-Men. The only sad thing is there is little to no Max series on there, so for Punisher or Alias you'll still need to buy the TPBs.

Also pry my fav artists are Neil,Kaare Andrews, Capullo, Sam Keith and of course Frank Miller and Todd. Anyways what was your thought on the new Image/Skybound comic Horizon? It was great imo just your thoughts? Thanks again on the great info you always put out. Also just subscribed to your channel.

@johncarter5387 8 лет назад

Just came out a week ago already hit second print cos it is really good. A great concept where we are the invaders and the lead is a strong female alien character just very different with great writing and artistry. Also Image's The Hunt, Throwaways, and Renato Jones 1% are awesome new ones. I think you would enjoy them! Thanks for getting back to me and I love your channel!

As someone who is starting to get into comics, this was helpful. Most of these I had on my list to get so this was reassuring. Ill try out the others you mentioned. Is there a Marvel starting point? DC was alot easier to jump into than Marvel unless I am doing it wrong.

Nerdiest Kid You Know that's a good way to get into. Comixology would be better than that, given they include Marvel with all the Indies too.

See if you get pulled in.

Just got hold of Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing that would be a great intro, if I'd read it as a teen it would have blown my mind also Preacher it's fun easy reading - not sure if teens would appreciate it's very 90's preoccupations and themes though?- and Black Hole or Xd Out. I read Preacher (Watchmen also as a one off during my years in the wilderness) 10 years after having quit Marvel and comics in general, and it was so much fun it brought me back, agreed on Daniel Clowes I'd suggest nearly anything from him.

@SequentialsDeluxe 8 лет назад

+Harry Pepper Good choice, if my knowledge of DC was better I probably would have recommended that too!

@TheTrollingNiko 7 лет назад

+Harry Pepper To be honest, no in my opinion it's a very bad read for new readers, because it's core theme is the happier, morally correct heroes trying to control the violent younglings. First they'd need to read the stories of those "happier" heroes. Imagine that after this book they want to read Superman, so they pick up the New 52. In KC Supes is trying to correct violent assholes. And what is he in New 52? A violent asshole. The reader would probably be confused, seeing Supes as hypocritical. I bought KC as one of my first books because, well it even says on the cover "One Of The Greatest Comics Of All Time", but I took an angel's advice to hold on a bit for the same reasons I listed before, and I am eternally grateful to that person. I assure you if I had read it as one of my first books I would have not liked it as much as I love it now :)

Outside of that I haven't heard many good things. I think fantastic four and xmen and thought of as just OK, and the other mini series and tie ins are generally not well loved. For me just the Spider-Man and the original ultimates stuff is enough

@ecstasy1078 3 года назад

Agree with Year one if it’s a Batman fan who’s seen animated movies and such I recommend long Halloween or Batman hush since they feature so many characters important to the Batman mythos and absolutely agree with planetary it’s 40-50 USD and it’s an omnibus that’s modern and entertaining, yes please.
