    I'm reading the new 52 Wonder Woman. <3 it!

    I haven't read that one. The new 52 Superman was pretty lame in the first few issues. Batman has been pretty good.

    I love the Walking dead and have primarily been a DC reader (especially Superman) but I have fallen off the last 2 years. DC's unnecessary constant reboots have tested my patience so I haven't really given the new 52 a chance.

    With all that said, I WILL be at comic con this year.

    It seemed unnecessary to reboot it.

    Been reading more webcomics lately. The Meek, The Phoenix Requiem (which actually ended a while ago, so I guess I'm not reading that one any more.) The Less than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal, The Dreamer.

    Used to read a lot of Xmen before it started copying the films and therefore sucking.

    I've never actually read a comic book before (no lies!)

    Can anyone recomend a good series?

    e.g. I hear alot about the old... spiderman number 1! or batman number 5! things like that, but never actually picked one up and read it...

    I love Marvell characters... but haven't really heard of any others, so what's a good series?

    Check these out:
    Batman:Hush
    Identity Crisis
    Kingdom Come
    Watchmen
    Batman:Noel
    The Dark Knight Returns
    The Long Halloween
    and I gotta throw The Crow in here

    These are all in trade paperbacks now and are some of my favorites. I am sure others will suggest more to you :)

    I liked the X-MEN Deadly Genesis story. I thought that was pretty good.

    Agreed. Crisis of Infinite Earths, Zero Hour, Infinite Crisis, and now the new 52. It's like pick a continuity and please stick to it.

    Married a comic artist ;) He's doing a lot of reformatting his strips lately, but check out oycomics.com

    Has no one mentioned Bone (by Jeff Smith) yet? You can hardly call yourself a comic book nerd if you haven't read Bone! It's required reading in this house ;)

    I still haven't picked those up yet and it seems from everyone that I should. I love that show so it's bit odd I don't have any of the books.

    Green Lantern is bad *kitten*! I have quite a few of those. I enjoyed Blackest Night a lot. Geoff Johns is great.

    Loving "The Boys" Series by Garth Ennis. Also The preacher, (obviously)
    Anything by Alan moore and Neil Gaiman's Sandman Series is my all-time favourite!
