Idk how many this will interest because it is not as popular it used to be, but comic books are a beautiful media in which amazing storytelling, art and characters are demonstrated.
Now I know it may seem overwhelming at first, there’s so many to choose from I know. But I made a list on what to read first
1. Ok first comic is batman the long Halloween, it’s a classic and regarded as a comic with one of the best stories. Infact some people say it feels less like batman and more like a gritty detective story. If you like this then congratulations and if not then it’s fine I guess comic books are not for everyone
2. Dark victory- it’s the sequel to long Halloween. It’s a great way to close off the story with still the same charm as the first
3. Now there are a few options here, you can continue with batman and I would recommend Batman hush, or you can open yourself up to the wider dcu. I would recommend the jla story “tower of babel”. It shows off some of the justice league of America which are basically like the avengers for dc
4. Ok if you are still a fan it’s time to maybe pick a run, if you loved the batman I would recommend the new 52 batman run. It starts with the court of owls book. If you want to broaden your scope of the dc universe, I would recommend (my personal favourite run in dc) Geoff johns green lantern. It’s just perfect. Most dc characters are mentioned and it builds a wider universe with memorable characters. Buy the individual volumes of Geoff johns green lantern 1-4. Then buy agent orange and emerald eclipse and then get blackest night. The ones in italics may be a bit hard to buy but can be read online for free. Of course I prefer a book as I feel there’s more immersion
5. From here it’s basically your choice. You can read the new 52 green lantern or the knight fall batman run, alternatively you could pick more superheroes that you find interesting. Just search on google for the best comics with said character
TLDR
1.Long halloween
2. Dark victory
3. Hush or tower of babel
4. New 52 batman or Geoff johns green lantern
5. Pick a character you like and find online the best stories they are in
