check out the new 52 Green Arrow starting with issue 17 I believe. Really good story and don't have to read the 16 issues beforehand. Year One is awesome
Already reading it! It's what prompted me to re-read Year One, read #20 of New 52 GA last night.

any one know if any of the 4 new 52 Green Lantern comics are good
They are a bit hit and miss, some of the story is good but I feel like you have to wade through a lot of crap to get to them. I personally think the crossovers are pretty terri-bad too.

Any issues centered on Simon Baz or Sinestro are actually good though.

First Lantern is fairly arse as well in my opinion.

But Simon Baz... have I mentioned how much I love Simon Baz? Or how much I don't like Hal Jordan? It feels like it has been an eternity, seconds... perhaps even minutes!

I kinda want to get into comics just a bit. What are some good ones to start with? I'd prefer if they we're digital.

or you can do what I do and .... wait can we promote torrenting on this site?

I suggest either the new 52 Wonder Woman or the new 52 Aquaman they both are awesome

Digital versions are easier to read from a screen don't you think?

I'll check those out, any good Green Arrow ones?
Longbow Hunters I know people always talk about I haven't read it but most people I know love it

and torrented comics are pretty much the same as digital versions but you would have to download a program to read them

Don't you have to scroll down though, seems kinda awkward where as digital comics like the Injustice ones you can just read it right there without having to scroll.

That's what I do with films, if I like something I buy it.

no you don't have to scroll its kinda like online manga you click the picture or an arrow that is next to the picture and it does to the next image

ya I do that with movies too just not as much because the movie industry doesn't need as much help as the comic industry (could be wrong)

Sounds cool, what is that program called? I buy movies just because I like having a physical copy and having a collection. There's indie films too, not just big budget Hollywood productions. :)

He's just the dictionary definition of generic for me. I mean for me he's just boring, his story follows the same cycle of dies, becomes bad guy, dies, becomes some super thing, dies, becomes bad guy etc. and literally every other human Lantern is more interesting to me: Guy is a hot headed ass sometime but he has some personality, Kyle has the best constructs and had an awesome storyline (pre 52) and John Stewart... well he's been through so much shit it's ridiculous, plus I like that he's a kind of the proper soldier/space cop.

Baz has just been plain awesome so far, but he might be a bit too OP.

I just read flashpoint. Every where i read people say its trash, but i actually liked it.
It is good. Parts of it. AUs are fun basically. And you can't trust people, people voted for the Nazis.

you forgot Alan Scott :eek:
Pre 52 Alan Scott was alright, but he was part of a huge cast so there wasn't a whole lot of focus on him.
New 52 Alan Scott sort of has my interest for now. I mean there is definitely more to the character that needs to be fleshed out, but the title is still new-ish and most the focus has been on Flash and Fate.

As far as New 52 goes, I've only read the first trade of each of the "dark" titles. I liked Demon Knights, thought Frankenstein was okay (series has since been cancelled), Swamp Thing was kinda meh, didn't like Animal Man, and hated Justice League Dark.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW. I don't even know what to say.

hope the flesh him out because for some reason I like Alan Scott I have read almost none of his comics but I like him

Guy is actually my favortie cause he is just a smartass who doesn't care. Think they have him joining the Red Lanterns in the next few issues. I jnow there is a cover of him and Bleez.
 
Started reading the N52 Suicide Squad and so far it's great. My only gripe is that they continuingly introduce some lame characters to the team, but luckily they kill em off after 1-2 issues XD Also is Amanda Waller supposed to be a hot chick now?

Yeah it pissed me off that this iconic figure, this big black strong woman THE WALL FFS! Was rebooted as being slimmer. The best thing about Amanda Waller is that she was a big lady who just didn't give a fuck, she could not be beat! Also yeah, the losers get killed pretty quick but the 52 Suicide Squad broke the inherent rules of the Suicide Squad comic:
Whoever dies stays dead. You don't bring anyone back. It's cheap.
