Recommendation Column

Hey everyone!

I've created my first recommendation column on the DC Rebirth Reading Order since I'm currently going back and re-reading some stories on there then continuing where I had previously left off a while back. Any story or issue that I give 4-stars on Goodreads will get an R in that column indicating that I recommend it. For anyone with a column on any reading order, you will also have the ability to enter an R if you would like to recommend any stories.

This week I was ...

Post-Zero Hour Batman Update!

Hi everyone!

I'm still working away on the Post-Zero Hour Batman Reading Order, which is making me want to go back and read No Man's Land and all of Ed Brubaker's stuff hopefully sometime soon.

Work has picked up in my office, so I haven't had any days where I can slack off and focus on Patreon work, but I'm still putting in a few hours here and there after work throughout the week.

I should be finished with Batman and Detective Comics within the next week or so, then I can ...

Final Crisis Reading Order

Hey everyone!

Since I'm working on Post-Crisis Batman right now and don't have anything tangible to share, I thought I'd put together an infographic of something I read recently; Final Crisis.

This is the reading order pulled from the Final Crisis Omnibus, plus the Aftermath mini-series. I listed the cover for the paperback collections of Batman: R.I.P., Terror Titans, Final Crisis: Rogues Revenge, Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds, Final Crisis: Revelations, and the Aftermath mini...

Where to Start with Moon Knight

In honor of the show premiering on Disney+ today, I thought I'd put together a list of modern series for those interested in jumping into Moon Knight for the first time.

My recommendation would be to start with Bendis & Maleev's run, but I know not everyone is a fan of Bendis, and a handful of people I've spoken to really dislike the way it portrays the character. If you're not a Bendis fan, go ahead and skip to Secret Avengers and you'll get three back-to-back incredible Moon Knigh...

Unfortunately Behind this Week

Hey everyone!

I've been sick these past few days, so I'm unfortunately behind on my updates this week, but I plan to definitely have both DC Infinite Frontier and Marvel Legacy/Fresh Start updated by early next week.

In the meantime, I was finally able to go through the 2021 Patron Survey and get some ideas for future posts and content. It seems that the most requested items were 1) More Binger content, 2) More recommendations of both International and US Comics, especially those ...

Thanks everyone! As always, if you've read anything great, re...

Start Something New or Continue DC?

I realized that a lot of patrons have either left or joined since we voted on the DC Post-Crisis Reading Order creation. With that in mind, I thought I would send out a poll to see if you would all prefer that I keep going post Zero Hour or take a break and develop a different patron requested reading order.

This wouldn't completely cancel the continuation of DC but allow you all to request something smaller for me to complete before I continue.

I will keep this open until the end...

DC - Fear State Update

Some of you may have noticed that the official DC Reading Order for Fear State (below) is not actually accurate. I've gone ahead and fixed the order in the Infinite Frontier Reading Order to hopefully prevent spoilers while reading.

Based on feedback, I also made updates to a few Teen Titans listings in the Rebirth Reading Order:

• Teen Titans 39-42 is now 39-41 (Row 883)
• Tee...

The Batman Excitement!

In preparation for The Batman releasing next week, I've started re-reading Grant Morrison's run on Batman. Midway through the first omnibus, I decided to put together a Post-Infinite Crisis Batman Reading Order so I can also read Nightwing, Robin, Detective Comics, and other related series on DC Universe while I'm going.

If anyone wants to join me, I've uploaded the reading order 2022-02-23 02:25:30 +0000 UTC View Post

DC-Post Crisis Milestone is Live!!!

Hey everyone!

Slow day at work today so I put aside a couple hours to finish the Post-Crisis Milestone Reading Order. Milestone didn't actually last that long, so I completed the Post-Zero Hour reading order for it as well.

Now that this is finished, next week will be focused on getting everything merged into one full Post-Crisis - Zero Hour Reading Order.

Have a great weekend!

DC Post-Crisis Cosmic Update

Hi everyone!

I hope you've all had a fantastic week and are ready for Friday and the weekend!

I've been super busy at work lately, but I was able to get through another chunk of Post-Crisis DC series last night. I finished going through the plethora of Lobo mini-series, Mister Miracle, New Gods, The New Guardians, Hawkworld, and Valor, and I have a few Legion of Superheroes and Green Lantern series left to get through before the Cosmic Reading Order will be ready.

I'm hoping...

Quick February & Goal Update!

Happy February everyone!

I'm excited to announce that, even with a few patron losses entering February, we still started the new month with over 100 patrons!!!!!!

Based on the amount of requests I've received, this means that I will be adding a Marvel NOW! Reading Order which will lead directly into the current ANAD then Legacy Reading Orders. I have incomplete drafts of both a 2000s and NOW! Reading Order from years ago, with the NOW! one being much more complete.

Duplicate Order Only Sheets

Hi everyone!

I received a patron request today to add reading order only tabs to our more popular reading orders, so I've gone in and added "Order Only" tabs to the DC and Marvel Reading Orders. This will make it so you can easily pull up each reading order on any device without the patron checklists obscuring your view.

If there are any other reading orders you use regularly which you would also like to have an "Order Only" tab, please let me know and I'll get it added.

I'l...

December Post-Crisis Update!

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great week and getting as excited as I am for Spider-Man this weekend!

The last few days I've been focusing on putting in a couple/few hours a day on Post-Crisis work. This week I've gone through Green Arrow, Hex, Vigilante, Infinity Inc., and a handful of other series and mini-series.

I'm currently going through every series listed on DC Universe in order by date, and there's still a good amount left, but I'm sure I'll need to do some more rese...

I hope you all had a nice weekend and were able to put aside some time to read. I was able to finally read American Vampire 1976 on Friday evening and I'm very happy with the way the series ended. I highly recommend all nine volumes of American Vampire if you haven't checked them out!
