I originally read both classic Marvel and DC before I tried reading indie comics again (Dark Horse, but since starting using Hoopla I read a lot of Spawn from Image Comics) before feeling like switching comics again: I’m vaguely debating over reading the Big Two again.

While I have a Marvel stigma going on because I’m not happy with them in their current form I’m also familiar with DC more because they a have a much better legacy than Marvel in my opinion unless there are comics from both companies that I can read without a stigma.

Overall, I don’t know where to begin with the Big Two now that I changed my mind again.

For DC, I may read Batman or Superman but I don’t know where to begin for either one.

For Marvel, I don’t know where to start and I currently have a stigma for them because of their movies becoming more dominant.

Where should I start rereading the Big Two?

    I would start with a hero that you like. I dont think you have to pick either, just read what you like. So if you want to read Superman, just pick him up.

    I did a little research on the best (standalone) stories of the heroes I wanted to follow, for example all star Superman, or Batman year 1. If I liked those, I would look at others, or recent editions.

    Sometimes they branch out during runs, which would be reason for me to look at something new. For example there was a Black Panther series where he would have interactions with Xmen and Fantastic Four, causing me to read them and evaluate if I liked them.

    Honestly it is all still quite overwhelming with how much stuff there is. Just pick something you like to get into it, and see it from there.

    Lastly, this community is quite active and has some really good help, so if you pick it up again and are looking for nexts, come find us!
