Ah no. I thought there was an issue with a cover of Nightwing or Oracle and Nightwing shipping. Didn’t know that there were other things as well. Sorry to have brought it up.

At a glance, it seems like somebody ginned up outrage against him because Cass Cain wasn't prominently featured enough on a cover. He's also catching heat from being the Son of Kal-El guy, from his Nightwing being big on the relationship between Dick and Barbara (apparently there are still some ride-or-die fans of Dick/Kory in 2022?), and the impending debut of Dreamer. In other words: site posted:yeah he writes books for the wokers

Everything Tom Taylor touches turns to gold. Not just on your regular Nightwings or Supermans. He sometimes gets handed the stupidest premises and turns them to gold too. It's just that some people don't like it. And a lot of times it's a certain type of person that doesn't like it. And that type of person is generally a lovely type of person. I'm not saying if you don't like his stuff it's because you're a piece of poo poo. But if you're a piece of poo poo you probably won't like his stuff.

Yeah, he writes a lot of books where I just groan at the description of, then it turns out to be great. Like after Injustice turned out so well I just thought "just make him write from the worst, most dumb edgelord premises possible, and we'll get gold." Like, give him a Batman Who Laughs team-up with Lobo and there will be a sequence that makes you want to reconnect with family you've drifted apart from.

I'm going to cancel Tom Taylor for being too good at writing comics.

While it is nice that Dreamer is moving over to the mainstream DC comics universe I think I would have preferred a Dreamer/Brainy spin off tv show.

I was getting random "three comics for the price of two" packages from the local Kmart (couldn't even see what was the 3rd book in the middle of the pile!), but the first book I went out of my way to buy was The Warlock Chronicles #1, which has made Warlock into my favorite comic character of all time. muscles like this! posted:One of the earliest comics I remember reading was the issue where Kraven buries Spider-Man. The first issue of Sandman I ever read was the first issue of his funeral arc. I didn't know it was a series that was about the end! Bought the last 7 issues or so as floppies before buying the trades in random order. I wonder how much reading that story out of order helped my love of the story.

I think mine was a Spider-Man/Howard the Duck team up..! Can't say for certain though, got vague recollections of a Spider-Woman one, and another about some fly dude. Basically the only I know for sure is bug people were involved.

The first back issue I ever bought was Howard the Duck #10 because: A. I was somehow excited for the HTD movie. B. Spider-Man was on the cover. The entire issue is Howard having a hallucination following the end of his presidential bid. Spider-Man came out of the bathroom sink and there was a gorilla wearing a suit. Eight-year-old me was baffled.

It was Scarlet Spider-era Clone Saga, it featured the female Doc Ock, and the cover mentioned Stewart someone was a PRISONER IN VIRTUAL REALITY which of course sold me a copy. I also grabbed a six-pack (the back six, weirdly enough) of an X-Men crossover off shelves, I forget the name but it was the time Magneto yanked the adamantium out of Logan's bones. The earliest comics I can recall buying and then shortly after that I jumped into Milestone instead.

Hahaha your first issue was also my first issue, came in one of those “comic three packs” you could get at Big Lots or Dollar Tree. The other ones were a Ren and Stimpy comic and an encyclopedia of the Avengers history and all its members thus far (read that one over and over until it fell apart).

Daredevil #122, mom brought it back from an airport with some honey roasted peanuts. I thought I was older when I stated reading proper (non-Archie) comics but come to find out I was four years old. Yay!

Mine was an Archie book, though who knows which one. For cape books, there’s some west coach avengers books I remember, some late 80s batman books, and a bunch of promotional Spider-Man comics.

I don't know if it was actually my first comic book, but the earliest comic I have a clear memory of reading was an issue of Spider-Man where a building is taken over by gremlins, and Dr. Strange, a character I had never heard of before, helps Spider-Man through the magical barrier so he can fight the Gremlins while Strange himself sits on top of the building and astrally projects in to guide him. It was part 1 of 2 but I don't think I ever found the second issue.

Mine was X-Men Classic #3, which reprinted a Roy Thomas/Neal Adams issue of Uncanny where they fight Magneto in the Savage Land, which is probably as good an intro to comics as you can get. I think I still have it somewhere.

There's an old quote from Paul Pope that I can't track down, but it went something along the lines of when he was a kid, his dad brought him Bring on the Bad Guys, reprints of stories with all the big Marvel baddies. He says that as a kid, he didn't know that there was continuity that went on after these stories, and always regarded them a nihilistic morality tales where the bad guys always win. I think about that idea a lot as I grew up reading comics that rarely had any resolution- I'd read my dad's old comics where the Avengers would be at the mercy of the Lion God or whatever and never read the resolution because he had just never bought the next issue in the mid 70s. It got even worse when I'd buy the odd comic off the spinner in the 90s and everything was an interminable "Part 6 of 15 Saga" or something, but I've always thought there was something particularly interesting about it that. As an adult it would drive me crazy, but as a kid there was always a sense of mystery that was so exciting- I was never going to know how that story ended because I didn't have the pocket money to follow the series, so I'd end up just making up my own theories.

My first comic was a random issue from the Age of Apocalypse, so for years I just assumed that was the default setting for the X-Men. I did run across a couple of X-Men issues later that weren't part of the event, but for whatever reason, I concluded that they must be flashbacks to before the bad guys took over the world.

Besides a random Archie comic the comic I remember reading the most was from my brother and it was some random issue of Superman where someone found Pan's flute and it gave Superman horns so Superman decides it's best if he started dressing up as Batman because Batman's cowl has horns.

I guess I had a bunch of Archie digests before getting into superheroes, but I certainly couldn't tell you which I got first.
