2023 Comic Reading Challenge

Pro-tip: If you have an Ollie’s near you, the collected editions, are extremely cheap. I have recently picked up Supergirl vol. 1 by Peter David, Flash Rebirth, and a random Image book for $2.99-$3.99 each. I have also picked up a Deadpool omnibus for $30 from there last year.

With that said, I still buy weeklies because I don’t want my favorite comics canceled due to low sales. That is around $25-$40.

The other reason for this is to give my eyes a rest from looking at screens. I stare at a screen 8+ hours a day for work and then reading comics on a screen for way too many hours, my eyes aren’t happy with me on those days.

Let me preface this by saying everything DC does these days is mainly a Batman/Bat Family event. That said, I believe this will involve more than just the Bat Family and will introduce new characters and new variations of characters into the DC Universe.

Robin
Batman vs. Robin
Monkey Prince
Superman Son of Kal-El

All of those lead into Lazarus Planet but I’m confident you’ll be able to follow along and enjoy it without having read any of them.

I finished house of gotham its a story about a kid that batman does not adopt
he tries to do what a some people say is the right thing for him to do let the government take care of the child it does not go well also the doesn’t have a name in the story he is only ever called you so its what if batman didn’t adopt you
batman is not in the story much but its great for people who like stories about gotham
