So I Wanna get into Marvel and DC

Recommended Posts

Well my friend was over and was watching some stuff on Netflix and it seemed to be a LOT better than those like.... cheesy Batman cartoons I saw when I was a kid. If I were to start with comics/tv shows where should I begin?

 

I'm just confused since there are like 

65535 continuities

 

Would I be fine with just going along with what's current? o3o

For cartoons I'd say: Batman the Animated Series, Superman The Animated series, Justice League, JL Unlimited, Wolverine and the Xmen, ect Comics is tricky though, since there's a lot....for DC I suggest New 52 I guess, and Marvel Now.

 

Is there any specific characters you're looking to get into?

Tv Shows:

- Batman: TAS, GL, Young Justice, Superman, Justice League, Spectacular Spidey, Most of the stuff has something to like. DC animated movies line is also usually pretty good.

 

For comics, the way comics are written now, there pretty to jump into but some due to writers are easier than others. Pick up a trade you think looks good.

DC:

- New 52: Batman, Wonder Woman, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, Green Arrow, Batman/Superman and Superman: Unchained just started. The New 52 is mixed bag

 

Other good DC stories: DC: The New Frontier, 52, Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: Earth One, Gotham Central, GL: Rebirth, All Star Superman, Superman: Secret Identity

 

Marvel

- Marvel Now: Most of the line, is pretty good. The Avengers titles seem to be little confusing but standouts would be Daredevil, Hawkeye, All New X-men, Superior Foes Of Spider-man, Thor: God Of Thunder , Indestructible Hulk, Avengers Arena, Young Avengers, Nova

 

Other good Marvel stories that new reader friendly: Brubaker's Captain America (2nd Cap movie will take some base from this), Spider-Man: Blue, Astonishing X-Men: By Whedon & Cassaday, Thor: The Mighty Avenger, Brian Bendis & Alex Maleev’s Daredevil, The start of New Avengers.

 

That's good starting point

If you wanna watch TV shows that's not as corny I suggest watching

 

DC:

 

Teen Titans, Young Justice, and Batman Beyond. Justice League is good too, but I find it a bit overrated now.

 

Marvel:

 

Wolverine and the X-men, Avengers Earth Mightiest Heroes.

 

As for animated movies, You should watch. Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, Justice League DOOM. Next Avengers Hero's of Tomorrow, and Hulk vs Wolverine.

 

And for Real Life Action TV shows you could always try out...

 

Smaville, and Arrow as well as the new Marvel TV show, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Superman Unchained has just started. You might want to read that since Scott Snyder is writing it and he is a very good writer. Also Batman is really good its the comic that I'm currently following.

 

I'm not sure about marvel sorry!
