Animal Man, Batman by Loeb & Sale, Batman by Snyder and Justice League N52. Which would I pick? Hmm... overall, I'm not sure I could make an extensive list... but I found Longbow Hunters, Vol. 1 and Aquaman by Geoff Johns very easy to get into as a first-time reader of both characters. (I had read some of Grell's Green Arrow beforehand, though).

@@TBATB yeah I get why you picked JLA but personally I just don’t feel like it’s good for new readers. It’s probably one of the more easier grant Morrison books to get into but still deals with a lot of older stories and there’s a lot of miniseries that tie into JLA that aren’t even mentioned in the OMNI, like JLA midsummer. The beginning of the book can be confusing for new readers too because they wouldn’t Understand that the justice league had just broken up and a new one was forming. Theres scenes of the old justice league shutting down shop but it isn’t really explained what happened and the whole backstory behind it. There’s also connections to what’s going on in other series, like Superman being blue, Wally being called Walter and having a different outfit, huntress working with Batman, Diana not being Wonder Woman, etc. while it’s not required to know about those stories to understand JLA, a new reader might get confused to what’s going on. Also you have cameos of characters like the Dream from sandman who a lot of new comic readers might not know who he is or why he’s important because they never read sandman. There’s also a few miniseries for characters like the Aztec and zauriel which are referenced in JLA.
Great choices. I have them all the except the injustice one. Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol is a personal favourite. The silver age Doom Patrol omni is worth a look too.

I must have bought about 100-120 in the last 18 months so have the hugest reading backlog so characters I’m not keen on such as Superman are going to struggle to get a look in. Although have been tempted by Death & Return and will add Up In the Sky to the list. Just ordered Snyder Batman though!!

You guys know I LOVE your content. I’m watching the backlog, even the podcasts you recommend skipping lol But a little positive criticism would be to practice reading your scripts in a way that doesn’t sound like you’re reading it. Try to make it sound natural, like you’re chatting with your friends and not reading them something. I think that will definitely raise the bar of your content and will come off much better. No hate, I promise! Just ❤

Great video! I do disagree that the Green Lantern book is good for new readers. I was a new Green Lantern reader and when I read that I was just completely confused and bewildered by all of the references to the multi-decade history of Green Lantern. Why the hell was Hal Jordan merged with the Spectre? Why was he an evil guy prior to that? Yes they offer some explanations but they're not satisfying if you're going to be emotionally engaged with the stakes. For me. So what happened was, I had to go down a 3-year rabbit hole to play catch up on the entire history of the DC Universe and Green Lantern in particular! The other issue with Green Lantern is that it's heavily reliant on Infinite Crisis, which itself is heavily reliant on tons of other s*** going back decades, AND there's also a companion series, Green Lantern Corps, which you'll want to read alongside this, so again to me, not good for new readers. I also think the Batman by Snyder one is a tough one, because a lot in there is dictated by what was going on with Grant Morrison's Batman run so it becomes confusing if you're not reading both. Anyway, great video.

Thank you so much for the feedback!! My very first comic was a trade of Final Crisis so I definitely didn't start with an easy one. I love your feedback and think it's all super valid. I love infinite crisis but I definitely couldn't include that on the list hahaha. I personally think that it is okay to not know everything about a story because if the story is still awesome know you can start to explore to find those answers. What books do you think are awesome for new readers?

That’s fair about Morrison! I think injustice was better when Taylor was writing it.
If DCeased ever gets an omnibus (it will eventually), it will make a great beginner DC omnibus. Heck, any Elseworlds story makes a great beginner story. DCeased, Injustice, and Kingdom Come were the first stories I read since they were self-contained and still awesome. P.S I would have added Aquaman by Geoff Johns due to it's great art, easy story, and cheap price.
