Technically... all DC issues will be easy to get into in March, since the whole "One Year Later" is a big jump on point.

This is definitely a good time to get in. My advice would be to pick up Infinite Crisis #1-5 and see which parts of the story pique your interest. All the tie-in series are available in TPB (I thoroughly enjoyed Day of Vengeance and OMAC Project), and there are plenty of specials and semi-current issues that will fill in the gaps.
The alternative is to start with One Year Later titles of books you think you might be interested in, and then pick up the back issues through Infinite Crisis to see what you missed. In addition, there are some out-of-continuity titles going on that can get you reading again without all the catch-up (I recommend All-Star Superman and Justice, and would strongly advise that you avoid All-Star Batman and Robin at all costs).

blood of the demon, all star superman, seven soldiers, blood of the demon, Justice league Unlimited #18, Legion of Super-Heroes #568 (actually it's #15).

My advice is to do the complete opposite, since you have to read a bunch of miniseries and Crisis on Infinite Earths just to make sense of what is going on in that series. And even then, it's a quasi impenetrable wall of nerdery.

#1 ~ "Easy to get into" doesn't always = "good"
#2 ~ For what is probably the best superhero comic in the universe, try out Invincible. But read from issue #1 (easy if you use the trade paper backs or hardback volumes) and AVOID spoilers. There are some incredible twists that happen in that first dozen issues that will shock your eyes out if you don't know about them ahead of time.
-Peace Out.

Oh man, go pick up the invincible trades. You'll be a happy person.

I totally totally support the idea of buying Invincible.

You NEED to try Birds Of Prey!
Gail Simone's BOP has been kicking ass for two and half years and will be going into OYL with a new lineup of characters.
It is full of humour, action and thrills and is always easy to pickup and read without consulting three hundred back issues to figure out what is going on.
Birds Of Prey. Only two and a half bucks. Buy it.

I've been looking for a jumping on point with this, guess it doesn't get any better than One Year Later. Cool!
