I am a newbie. Nearest comic book store for me is an hour away so it sucks a bit. I am going saturday to comic book store though while away visiting family. Then probably around 18th I plan to visit LCS thats hour away to setup pull list for what I deciede to go with. Now this is where I need your input or suggestions. I have decieded to give Green Arrow, GI Joe Real American Hero, and Scarlet Spider a shot. I have gotten a few scarlet spider already and enjoyed them so I just plan to continue on with that series. Now I was thinking star wars also but seems it is just a bunch of mini series and not sure I want to get into that. I also would like to get into something Batman can you offer a suggestion on something for it? Then do you have any other suggestions on comics to try out. I would like to keep it around 6 or 7 on a regular monthly basis and plan to visit local store every 2 weeks once I setup a pull list. |

If you want to start from the beginning, it wouldn't be extremely difficult, as Batman is at issue 11 and Daredevil is at issue 14. Trades are out for both containing at least the first 6 issues, and you could pick up the other issues pretty easily. They have great stories (some of the best in comics right now, I think) and I think you'd really enjoy them. X-O Manowar, Harbinger, or Bloodshot from Valiant would also be perfect to start reading. Bloodshot is coming out, and the other two are only on 2nd issues. __________________ Public Relations/Coordination Manager here at SMC. I also do reviews!

I reviewed Bloodshot #1 (review posting on the blog tomorrow), and I was satisfied on every level with it. __________________ Read a preview of my GN, METAPHASE, for free on ComiXology!

| Groupie Joined: 08 August 2007 | I have been a recent convert to the DC title Deathstroke. I think it's on #10 or 11 currently. Addicted might be the better term... And I've heard good things on the BOOM! title Extermination, which may still have #1 on the shelf, though it's sold out in both my local stores. |

| Moderator Group SMC Blog Editor Joined: 16 September 2008 | I think he was referring to Batman the regular ongoing series. I'm sure that last few issues would be available at your LCS. __________________ Read a preview of my GN, METAPHASE, for free on ComiXology! Twitter: @ChipReece |

Moderator Group Joined: 25 September 2011 | Batman #11 I think is the best place to start. #10 revealed something big to the story, but might not mean that much to someone just picking up that issue. That being said, jump in anywhere and just go for it. I came in at the end of DC's blackest night and had really no clue what was going on, but still loved it. I went back and read a bit about the event online and got quickly caught up. |
