'Mm,' she agreed. 'He's a little bit dodgy in the same way that rats are a little bit covered in fur."

What carabas said. Allegiance to one publisher or another is a fools errand. Buy what you want to read, and don't limit yourself.

Here are some comics that I find enjoyable, regardless of publisher:
Atomic Robo
Amazing Spider-Man
Usagi Yojimbo
The Unwritten
Daredevil
Iron Man (this is being relaunched with a new #1 this week, so it's a perfect time to jump on)
Captain America is also being relaunched with a new #1 very soon, as is the Hulk"He actually amnesty them!"

There's no reason you need to choose one or the other. You wouldn't decide between novels published by Random House and Doubleday.
Read what interests you.

I see no point in collecting things if you don't enjoy them. Research the titles that interest you on a surface level and go from there.
Also, remember there are a lot of comics worth collecting that aren't Marvel or DC.

Brand loyalty is sub-sentient thinking. Read what you like.

People, Kis isn't a free thinker. Being told what to read is what he likes and what interests him. Just say Batman and move on.
Free your soul and let it fly....

No. Why would you think that? Have you ever actually read Judge Dredd? Originally Posted by Pixie_Solanas

I would recommend checking out Atomic Robo above all. That's neither Marvel nor DC, but I find it immenently more enjoyable than any current Big 2 title.

I don't know anybody who's read Atomic Robo who hasn't enjoyed it immensely. Originally Posted by Slam_Bradley

Start collecting Marvel comics because you get more bang for your buck. The MU (Marvel Universe) is truly a shared universe and you'll never be short on reading material because there are so many leads to follow.
Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four are all franchises that you should consider immeadiately (or NOW). That's at least 24 books to choose from to get ya started.
Happy reading.
Oh, and I genrally read about half the number of comics.Last edited by Hulk_Is; 11-06-2012 at 09:17 PM.
New Avengers, Morbius The Living Vampire, Scarlet Spider, Iron Man, Fearless Defenders, Fantastic Four, Deadpool Killogy, Savage Wolverine, Wolverine, Uncanny X-Men & X-Force, Cable & X-Force, Gambit
