Questions about DC from a Marvel Fanboy

[Jynks]

Superman is far from perfect and Is IMO one of the most relateable characters in comics. He's a farm boy from Kansas who goes to the big city trying to make a name for crying out loud.

/agree.

Superman, despite his crazy powers is one of the most relatable superheros as in all the ways that count he is a normal guy. Superman is pure wish fulfilment. He is you, the reader.. but with powers. Most comic character are not like this at all. Spiderman is like this as well by the way.

Have to admit I cried when the first Spider-Man came out and Ben gets shot, think I was about six and thought life was unjust and cruel cause they killed Uncle Ben.

maybe ur the next spiderman

You're responsible for my death if I go outside right now and let a spider bite me, and don't forget I'm in Australia so the spiders here are extremely deadly

@Jynks @That__John__Guy thanks guys, will check it out.
Think I'm going to start with Ultimate Spider-Man like you mentioned as I can start the story from the beginning. Then branch off into some DC heroes

On the DC side, start with Starman (Ted Knight). You won't be sorry.

Try "Invincible" as well.. it is a IMAGE comic, but extremely good and starts from the very beginning as well.

Some great comics that I have been loving this year that are all running now (as in not complete and still coming out weekly / monthly). Add any of these to you pull list and you will not be sorry... well I'm not at least!

Young Animal (This is a DC Imprint like Vertigo, but part of the official DCU)
• Doom Patrol
• Shade the Changing Girl

Dark Horse
• Black hammer

• I Hate Fairyland
• Bitch Planet
• Descenter
• Saga
• East of West
• Faster than Light

IDW

DC
• Action Comic
• Superman
• Detective Comics
• Batman
• Aquaman
• Green Arrow
• Hellblazer
• Red Hood and the Outlaws
• Trinity
• Wonder Woman
• Frostbite

Basically DC have been killing it with Rebirth. It is so good. There is a reason DC have been taking all top spots in the top ten sales every month again and again and again. Some months even taking all ten spots.

If you are looking for "non-superhero" stuff then Image is your best place... in fact most of the best comics around are image at the moment.

If you are a fan of Wonder Woman make sure to read the current Rebirth series. It's pretty fantastic and in my opinion the best of all the Rebirth comics.

Definitely agree with this. Sure maybe Superman is u relatable, but Clark Kent is definitely relatable. People like Batman because they find it easier to relate to a human but to me a guy like Clark from small begininnings in Kansas who wants to do the right thing is more relatable than a super dark and depressed billionaire whose parents were murdered. Batman's my favorite comic book character but I find Superman way more relatable.
