So… this is a weird question. Probably hard to answer as well.
I have read comics for years. With the large selection of comic titles available for streaming, being able to just sit down and choose a comic to read has never been easy. It might just be a personal difficulty of natural indecisiveness, but I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem.
I know about all of the “Essential comics to read before you die” articles, but those are just more lists of titles I have to choose from to read first. They all seem so good!
I would really appreciate any suggestion on strategies to tackle this problem.
Hi, Monkey3s! This is a common conundrum, but rest assured there are a LOT of strategies to tackle this indecisiveness. For instance, take a look at the many book clubs active in the Community Events section, and consider joining one.
Or, to take all choice out of it, simply post your own suggestion for someone else to read in this thread:
Whoever posts after you will give you your next assignment.

Thank you for this list. Unfortunately I have a severe case of indecisiveness. Hopefully this doesn’t send me to the bad place(The Good Place Reference).
However, because I am bad at choosing things. It would be great if you could assign me a run on the “Assign a Comic to the Poster Above You” article by @HubCityQuestion. This would make you the overlord, and relieve me of my lack of decisiveness.
Sorry if that sounded forceful. Typing makes tone hard to read.
But seriously, you would get to be an overlord! How great is that?
@Monkey3s: I don’t believe you’re really that indecisive. Of course, if you are you might want to read Richard II before reading any comics. That aside, just go with @TurokSonOfStone1950’s reading list and sit back and enjoy.
