I'd also suggest 'Harley Quinn: Preludes and Knock - Knock Jokes'. While it's more focused on Harley Quinn, it shows a lot about her relationship with the Joker and has some great Joker - related stories within it. It's a good entry point to get to know the character better.
Definitely start with 'The Killing Joke'. It's a classic that gives you a good understanding of the Joker's psyche. It's not too long and has some really iconic moments.
Sure. 'The Long Halloween' is a good one for new readers. It's a mystery - centered story that takes place during Batman's early days. It has a great cast of villains and a really engaging plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
I'd also recommend 'Flash by Mark Waid'. His run on the Flash comics was really popular. It had a lot of fun and fast - paced stories that showed off the Flash's powers and his heroic nature. It's full of exciting adventures that new readers would enjoy.
For new readers, 'Alien vs. Predator: Deadliest of the Species' is also a good choice. It gives a good introduction to both the Predator and the Alien. The story is full of action and suspense, and it doesn't require a lot of prior knowledge about the franchises. It's like a gateway into the world of these two iconic alien species.
For new readers, 'All - Star Superman' is great. It shows Superman at his best, with his classic powers and noble character. The story is self - contained and easy to follow, while still having a lot of heart and great art.
Sure. 'Archie's First Love' is a great start. It's a simple yet engaging story that introduces the main characters like Archie, Veronica, and Betty. It shows Archie's clumsy attempts at finding love which is really cute and funny.
Yes and no. If you're new to comics but are a fan of the character of the Joker from movies or other media, then something like 'Joker: Last Laugh' could be a good start. It has a lot of action and the Joker's craziness is on full display. But on the other hand, some of the more convoluted graphic novels that are deeply intertwined with the DC Comics lore might be a bit hard to follow for newbies.
For new readers, I'd recommend 'Joker: Year of the Villain'. It's a self - contained story that gives a good look at the Joker's motives and his way of operating. It doesn't require a lot of prior knowledge of the Batman universe. Also, the 'Joker' movie - related comics can be a good starting point. They expand on the ideas presented in the movie and show different aspects of the character's journey to becoming the Clown Prince of Crime.
Sure. 'Panther's Rage' is a great start. It's not too complex for new readers yet it gives a good introduction to Black Panther's world and his abilities.
Another great one is 'A Death in the Family'. The Joker killed Robin (Jason Todd) in this story, which had a huge impact on Batman and the entire Batman universe. It was a very tragic and memorable story.
Yes, some of them are. 'The Killing Joke' is a good starting point. It has a simple enough story that new readers can follow while still being deep and engaging. The art is also very accessible.
