i am just finding out now that vanesu samunyai got shit from reddit fuckheads for her performance as rose and??? baby if you're going to lie about "bad acting" to cover your ass as to your criticism of an actor that boils down to nothing but racism, you should at least make it believable

I need some comic recommendations and I figured you (and your followers) was probably the best way to turn. I started reading some of RHATO (bc I love Jason), and the first issue of HIC, but DC have a lot of comics and I need pointing in the right direction. There are characters (like the Riddler and the Batfam) that I have a soft spot for. Really though, I just need some good comics to get me going - 🛸
OK I’m so glad you’re getting into comics and you’re in for some mind-blowing stories.  Full disclosure I did not like the ending of Heroes in Crisis.  But it is worth reading and my experience was subjective and honestly a new fan won’t be as emotionally hurt by the deaths like I was.  (death isn’t a spoiler btw)  The reason I recommend you finish the series is the fucking great spinoff series Flash Forward by Scott Lobdell.  Scott Lobdell writes RHATO and in my opinion his writing can be hit or miss.  But the first issue of Flash Forward has been some of his best work.  I won’t spoil it but it has the Tempis Fuginaut doing cosmic multiverse weirdness in a really cool way.  
All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison is always good.  I also believe it is a good “rite of passage” for new DC fans to read 1985′s Crisis on Infinite Earths.  It literally invented comic book events.  (prompted Marvel to do Secret Wars)  The reason you should read it is how it features almost every single character from DC at the time and almost every place in the DCU multiverse.  This way you can see some character who looks cool and then look up all the great books they’ve been in since then.
All of the Earth One books are good.  They’re stand alone graphic novels that DC puts their top creators on.  Superman was the only one that finished the trilogy.  Batman, Wonder Woman and Teen Titans put out 2 books so far.  Green Lantern just got one book so far.  
If you like spooky and creepy stories you should read House of Mystery 2008 by Lilah Sturges (credited as her dead name Matthew) The entire run is available on DC Universe.  Batman Incorporated was the best part of Grant Morrison’s Batman run.  Except maybe Batman and Robin 2009.  That shit was awesome.  
Kingdom Come is essential.  Shazam and the Monster Society of Evil is good.  Ambush Bug is great.  If you don’t know he has the power of unlimited teleportation and he knows he is fictional.  I like to say he’s the fictional mouthpiece for writer Keith Giffen to express his hatred for his boss Dan Didio.  And as a DC fan you’ll learn to hate Dan Didio too.  Bug! The Adventures of Forager is a pure Jack Kirby homage drawn by Mike Allred.  it’s amazing.  Cosmic Odyssey is also essential reading.  DC New Frontier, essential.  Prez 2015 is Mark Russell’s best and funniest satire.  Seven Soldiers 2006 is really dense and weird but worth reading through.  Not enough people talk about Star Spangled War Stories featuring G.I. Zombie from 2014.  I loved that series.  Tom King’s Omega Men is one of his best works at DC.  Anyway sorry for ranting.  I hope this helps you.
