So about last year, I really started getting into comic books and graphic novels. Back then, I primarily stuck with graphic novels, stories that had distinct endings and were no longer in continuation. The primary reason I did this was because I wasn’t sure that I wanted to get into the monthly issue release that would warrant me spending money and money over time and again. So as the year progressed, I had successfully finished some of the greatest graphic novels out there: Watchmen, Wanted, The Dark Knight Returns, Black Hole, along with volumes and compendiums of the most popular story arcs such as The Long Halloween, The Walking Dead Compendium I + II, and Kick-Ass. Now that I’m nearing the point where there aren’t many graphic novels left that I haven’t heard of.
So I’ve begun getting into series that are now ongoing, finding that they’re even more exhilarating because it’s like I’m joining a number of fan-bases that are eagerly awaiting the release of the next issue. It’s a similar feeling as waiting for The Winds of Winter, or the next Superman vs. Batman movie. With anticipation, there is some form of unification of a fanbase that spawns theories, speculations, and the like.
So today we’re going to talk about some of the comic books that I’m reading and some that I plan on beginning to read. Minor spoils ahead!
