Really interesting premise and world for Nocterra. And beautiful art, my god. The story jeeps you on your toes. Dont want to spoil too much,.

Normally in Democracy the majority or popular vote wins, however due to the electoral college America has, it doesnt necessarily mean the majority voted for the winner. This was the case for Bush, and some other moments in the past.

I finished Nocterra book 1 in no time, so now I am off to Batman the long Halloween. On the side I am continuously reading Uncanny Xmen from Claremont and the 2022 run of Doctor Strange.

Yeah both into Nightwing and his run. I have no prior experience with Nightwing. I would like to branch out a little more into the DC world, and your post sparked interest. But cool, I will add him to my want to read list!

Is this an easy part to step into the Nightwing series? It looks well received, and the synopsis sounds like a reset point.

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!

In Dutch we have DROL, Dicht recht, open links. So close right, open left as a very strict translation. But DROL is also Dutch for turd.

Awesome. Going on holiday soon, so will put it on the list! Thanks

I love the doctor strange films, but haven’t started any comics on him yet. Do you have a recommendation for a good starting series?

I recently finished Locke and Key, which blew me away. Such a good series. Does anyone know if Hills other works are as good?

Made my way through the wicked and divine 2 and 3. Love the story, but the cliffhangers keep killing me.

And lastly am slowly working my way through Chris Cleremonts Uncanny Xmen. They are currently meeting Rogue for the first time.

I live in Europe, so my options are a little limited. But I am currently using the marvel app. You can get a subscription and read all that is available, which is a lot. Newer comics lack behind a bit, probably to drive paper sales.

I know there is a similar app for DC, but it is not available here. I read online people think it is lackluster, but again no handson experience. I believe darkhorse comics might have a platform as well.

For me I like to buy paper comics for all non-marvel comics. I do like that a lot more. It draws me in better, and allows me to support smaller shops like the one you had.

Hope you get back into reading. It is a wonderful world!

It looks like this isnt really a thing in Europe. I found like 1 store per country that joins, which is a bummer. I would have liked to try some new comics I wouldnt have chosen otherwise.

So this is my first time hearing about it, and it sounds really interesting. How does it? work? Can you just walk into a store and pick some up? Or is it an add-on to your purchase? And is there a limit to how much you can choose?

Already I finished The Wicked + The Divine. It was such a good read. Couple of twists I didnt expect. The story is really captivating and well drawn. Still have a lot of questions, and cant wait to get some of them answered. Really recommend this one! Such a shame I only bought the first issue ;p

I will let you know! So far it sucked me in immediately

Thanks for the thoughtful response! They really help.

Piracy was actually what got me into reading and buying comics in the first place. I came across Saga which peaked my interest and I have been reading since. From there went to a local store and picked up Sandman.

I dont have a local shop too nearby, which makes it harder to go to stores and just browse or get advice. But I will try to make some time soon to go browsing :)

Cool thanks! I will check those out as well :)

Awesome, thanks! And you also welcome to the club!

So I am still new with comics, only started reading them 3 months ago. I am currentl making my way through X-men and Batman first year, but there are so many comics out there.

If I look at this list it is daunting how many there are released every single week. I have been googling some of your interests, and they look cool. How do you know from this long list what catches your interest?

I am 2 days ahead of you, and it is great. Really love this series so far! Enjoy :D
