I recently started reading comic books, and am really glad I did. It can seem overwhelming when you start, because of the sheer number of titles and issues available. To start, I did the following: -I picked a hero/series to follow; Batman. -I picked a couple stories to read, based on recommendations. In my case "The Long Halloween" and "The Dark Knight Returns." -I began reading the current story arc. DC's New 52 reboot gave me an easy place to start, at issue #1.

From there, I just began branching out based on other series I came across while following Batman.
