When I was just a kid I really enjoyed watching all those animated series about superheroes, I especially remember loving Super Friends. And I also enjoyed the Wonder Woman TV show starring Lynda Carter. I read a few comics growing up, but it had never really been consistent; these past few years I've wanted to go back to it but didn't know where to start, so when I saw this, I knew I had to get it.
This proved to be a great guide for people who want to start reading comics, and also a great read for comic fans in general. It offers a big selection of titles, covering the very well-known ones, such as Batman, Superman and the Justice League, and it also includes other ones that people new to this might not be familiar with.
We also get a brief explanation of the New 52, introductions to big people in the graphic novel world like Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore, and a section with some comics with their respective TV / movie / video game adaptations. I've played Injustice: Gods Among Us and also a bit of the Batman: Arkham games, so I loved that this was included.
A long list of titles with a suggested reading order is also to be found in this guide, which is very helpful.
I really loved reading this and finding what to read next, it also gave me the chance to do a lot of research about stories I didn't know much about, and I found some pretty cool stuff this way.
Thank you for reading! Bye-Bye! ♥

DeleteGirl I love Super Friends! I think Aquaman and the Twins were my next favorites

DeleteI have been meaning to work on reading the graphic novels because I know I love my superheroes and I want to be able to enjoy their graphic novels and comics just as much as the movies. I am hoping to do this for both DC and Marvel. But this seems like it could be the best place to start because it shares some of the key stories. I am so glad that you were able to enjoy this one so much ^.^

ReplyDeleteI LOVE comics. I've read the wonder woman ones (new 52 I think), and a few others. The reason I stopped reading them was because I didn't know the reading order! Looks like I've just found my perfect comic book guide.
