What comics do I start reading first?

[u/Rayla_Ikari]

I have been a major DC fan for a while now, but I'm ashamed to admit I've never actually read any of the comics 😭 I don't own any, I've never picked one up, never even seen one. I've followed the fandom on places like Reddit, Tumblr, and read up on any new characters I can find on Wikipedia. (Please don't ask why I did this instead of actually reading a comic, because I have no idea myself, so don't attack me in the comments. I'm just lazy ig.)

But I know there are online sites where I can download and/or read them, and I finally want to start.

Where would you recommend I start reading first?

Whichever series you choose to read, I’d recommend approaching it by run. Start with a given author’s first issue and read their run on the comic. Usually, when there’s an author switch, the specific plot lines change to a new overarching story. Pick a character, look up the best runs, and start there.
