OK, folks: confession time. What’s your most embarrassing DC comic reading blindspot? The series or stories that you know you’re supposed to have read, the ones that every other comic reader has already read years ago, the ones that constantly get recommended on best-of lists as the “stories you must read”, but that you just haven’t gotten around to yet for whatever reason.
Here’s mine.
And it’s super embarrassing:
I have never read a single DC event series.
Not Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Not Infinite Crisis.
Not Final Crisis.
Not Blackest Night.
Not Flashpoint.
Not Dark Nights: Death Metal.
None of them.
You name it, I haven’t read it.
I figure I’ll get around to 'em.
Eventually.
Y’know.
Someday.
*phew *
Glad to finally get that off my chest.
Wait.
What’s happening?!?
Wh- Oh, no! AHHHHH!!!
Ow.
Aside from the event series, some of the other DC series and stories that literally everybody in the world has already read and recommends constantly as the comics that you have to read and if you haven’t read them then you can’t even call yourself a self-respecting comic reader are you kidding me that I haven’t read are:
Batman: Year One, Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: Hush, and The Sandman.
Yes, the Neil Gaiman one.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
Oh. Oh, no! It’s happening agai-
OK, now that I’ve confessed, it’s your turn: What are your most embarrassing comic reading blindspots? I promise to go easy on the stonings.
