For the love of print
What comics or characters got everybody into comic book reading and/or collecting? I was a fan of the major Marvel and DC characters through the cartoons and toys before reading any books but it was Jim Lee’s run on X-Men that really first got me into collecting it.

Batman is the first comic book character I remember really resonating with me. The first trade paperbacks I got were Batman and The Walking Dead. What has gotten to be a lot more hardcore into comics has been Invinicible and Cyberfrog. I’ve read all the Cyberfrog comics from the 90s issues to Bloodhoney and I’ve read the first 4 volumes of Invincible and I’m halfway through the fifth. Really enjoying that series.

You can never go wrong with Batman.

Yes I’ve also been watching the Batman the animated series on HBO. It’s very good, I also checked out the Superman animated series and I really liked it. Lois Lane is a great character her interactions with Clark and Superman are very entertaining.

For me it was Batman, Spider-man, and the X-Men. I blame the Shriner Circus for introducing me to comics as a kid since they handed them out to everyone at every show. That will likely date me, but I care not lol

All good ones. I loved the McFarlane Spiderman work.

For me, it was Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man. Like you, Monstaroc, first starting liking Marvel, and DC, via the action figures, films, and TV Shows. In fact, my very first exposure to a comic book character in general was “Superman: The Movie”. After that, I started reading some of my Dad’s comics. One of my early favorite stories that flung me into reading comics more seriously, was “Batman: Hush.” Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and Alex Sinclair brought their A-Game with that story!
