Dedicated to providing lists for the best experience possible when reading through a comic book event, arc, or character's history.

Feel free to discuss where to begin on reading a character, which arcs are worth reading and most importantly the order in which to read these things.

Posting tags that are helpful:

[CHARACTER] - For character specific questions

[STORY ARC] - For discussing a specific arc or story line

[EVENT] - For discussing a comic event

[AUTHOR] - For discussing a specific author's work

[REQUEST] For asking for some help on where or what to read

[OTHER] For anything relevant to the subreddit not mentioned above

[UNIVERSE] For content regarding specific universes or continuities

Ok Posts:

[REQUEST] How do I begin with Batman?
[CHARACTER] Reading list for Marvels' Nova between 2004-2011
[AUTHOR] Which DC Comics author is the easiest to begin with?
Images and links that are relevant
Links to sites that contain well organized reading orders
Files that contain free comics

Not Ok:

Pictures of superheroes
Memes
DC or MCU related movie posts
Hateful or discouraging content
Absolutely no pirated content (ie. zip files of lists)

Use the search bar to find older posts that may contain lists you are looking for. If you want to post a reading order but see it already posted by another user, dont be discouraged! We encourage different takes on how to read the same events or arcs.
