Question of the Week: If You Could Read All the Comics, Where Would You Start?

by 2 Comments

This week’s question of the week:

“So my question to you after reading your site.

If someone had access to nearly all marvel and dc comics, back to even the Timely era of Marvel. Where would you begin reading? My plan is not to do more then 50 of a series in a hit to prevent burnout but I also am a bit unsure if I should begin in the beginning or the silver age era or just throw darts at a board?

At the end of the day it’s my decision I know, but I was hoping for some thoughts from someone who I can see is educated in the craft.

Thank you.” [Read more…] about Question of the Week: If You Could Read All the Comics, Where Would You Start?

The MCU has officially dropped Captain America 3: Civil War stateside, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m already writing hyperbolic praise in my head and I haven’t even seen it (my expectations might be a wee bit too high – it’s a dangerous state of mind!). The Rotten Tomatoes reviews are so far pulling a reverse Batman v Superman, which will surely only calm those DC vs. Marvel conspiracy theories.

As you step out of the theater this weekend, or in coming weeks, you may think to yourself: What Marvel Comics should I read now! I need more of this! Did I close the garage? Wait, no, back to what’s important, more Marvel Universe! [Read more…] about OK, What Comics Should You Read In Between Cap 3: Civil War Viewings?

Question of the Week: What Are the Best Dark Reign Comics?

by 5 Comments

I’ve been getting this one a lot lately, and I can understand why. Unlike the Marvel events from 2004 to 2008, Dark Reign was functionally a state of the union. Instead of varying degrees of essential tie-ins, you have a status quo reaching its sinister, and slightly green fingers into the heart of the Marvel Universe.

The end result is a whole lot of Marvel fanatics getting to the Dark Reign reading order and going “Wait, wut? That is so many comics!” [Read more…] about Question of the Week: What Are the Best Dark Reign Comics?
