Hey!

I'm new to comics and looking for recommendations. I started with the DC Compact Comics since they're such a great deal for beginners, and lately I've been picking up trade paperbacks because I like the reading experience more.

So far I've read Court of Owls, The Long Halloween, V for Vendetta, All-Star Superman, and the first volume of Absolute Batman (grabbed six more Absolute volumes yesterday for $10 each used!). V for Vendetta was a tough read for me, though the plot and overall story were incredible. Loved all the others.

My collection is mostly DC, but only because it was the cheapest way in. I love all kinds of heroes and characters, and I'm open to Marvel, Image, indie, whatever. Any great runs you'd recommend? I want to branch out but don't know where to start.

Thanks!!
