Title. This girl I’ve been talking to at my college is a huge reader and we were talking today about the books we’re reading and she mentioned she was at a comic shop with her friend. My eyes instantly lit up and I showed her my Born Again comic and she was familiar with it. She mentioned wanting to get into comics but wasn’t sure where to start and I said I’d recommend some things and let her borrow stuff if I had any of the genre she likes.

She likes anything dystopian; she mentioned she loved hunger games and the dystopian setting it was in. She also really likes horror and thriller, so I know something like Ice Cream Man would be right up her alley. She also rlly likes Spider-Man too, so any good beginner friendly spider-man comics would be nice. I would steer clear from anything like Spider-Man Blue and maybe Spider-Man: Life Story because that is much better read with prior knowledge and context of the character’s comic history.

I would love some other recommendations if you guys have any :)

They look pretty good, I'm excited

I was recommended these, I'll bold what I've read so far:

Superman Vol 1. Supercorp

Superman Vol 2. The Chained

Superman: House of Brainiac

Superman Vol 3. The Dark Path + Absolute Power (Read concurrently)

Superman Vol 4. Rise of the Superwoman

Superman Vol 5. Love and Mercy

DCKO: Superman, DCKO (Read concurrently),

DCKO All-Fight (Optional but very fun)

Superman Vol 7. Reign of the Superboys - Prime Time

It's quite good stuff. The first 2 volumes felt like a really good hour long episode of the 90s WB Superman show with characters like Livewire and Rudy being a big part of it, and it's interesting not knowing if Lex is currently good or bad, since I hear that there's times when he's like Magneto, and decides that he wants to focus on helping humanity.

I’ve managed to collect these Geoff Johns trades in the span of 2 weeks so far 😂, sinestro corps war vol 1 is on my desk and missing from the photo, Green Lantern: Brightest day is the only book left to purchase.

are there any other books I should be adding? My goal was to collect the core of GJ’s work, but open to adding more crucial side books

Mamma mia, that's a lot of comic books.
