comic recommendations

[hauntingheart]

I am still busy with Supergirl (1982) lol. I love this era of Kara so much. Eepy. Just a gal living her best life. luckyzukky and I have been both reading her and also thinking of doing a fashion post of her? If you don't know, I LOVE fashion and I love the outfits of Kara in this comic. It makes me legitimately insane!!

But with me being so busy chatting in a dc comics discord server with people filled with comic readers, I am always being recommended new comics. Can get overwhelming, but ever since I got into the comic space I learnt to set up my own pace for this. Who cares for out of order reading??? As long as you are having fun! That is why I set up this comm in the first place :))).

I want to read some shorter stuff because I want to speed through some comics, don't have to focus for a big solo currently lmao. Thankfully, I have some short-ish cool comics on my radar. Some of them are recommended to me by friends :). Here they are, hopefully I can get to them and read them:

- Task Force Z recommended by val_el 
- Superboy Man of Tomorrow by luckyzukky 
- Spirit World
- Superman: American Alien

I want to go through Spirit World and Superman: American Alien first and then Task Force Z. I've wanted to read Spirit World for soooo long and I am in such  a Superfam mood lmfao. Am also obsessed with Superman birth stories like I can't get enough of them. Read Superman: Birthright a while back and I love it I love it I love it. So many things to be said about that comic.

Also really important: want to finish Supergirl (1996) when I have the time, and her origins. It's very confusing and scattered but I am determined!

And: Robin!Jason comics. Really really really important and my favourite era of Jason <3. I want to understand Jason better, and the best way to do that is to read his Robin era (stares intently at official DC Red Hood writers).

A lot to do as you can see lol. Wish me luck, and most importantly, fun while reading all of this! Really looking forward to Spirit World in particular!

yesss love all of this <3 you already heard from me about spirit world and superboy but they're well worth the reads, especially spirit world! both have such great handles on their characters and have been highly enjoyable. i wish both were longer though

and BIG agree about getting overwhelmed with comics. so much to read and not enough time! i haven't read in a while besides the last couple days of supergirl reading. it's so easy to get overwhelmed and stall on reading for a while. i'm glad to be back into it though, and the server and now this comm are pretty motivating in getting me to read haha.

also you know how much i'd love to see a supergirl fashion post because she SLAYS and seeing her slayage compiled would be super satisfying

yes yes YESSSS i'm so excited for you to read task force z and robin jason!! rosenberg seems to be the main writer for jason at the moment, which makes me really happy (he did task force z and the man who stopped laughing). probably one of the only red hood writers who remembers jason was robin one time sjhfa

good luck with your list!! comic lists never seem to get a dent in them do they sdhfakj

ever since rebirth it seems like we have entered the era of minis. sigh.... still though, they do bring interesting stuff to the table, but I miss long-running solos SO MUCH.

I am SO glad I am able to create a community where people can feel comfortable reading. there is so much support in the server and in this comm and it fills me with great joy!
