I originally read both classic Marvel and DC before I tried reading indie comics again (Dark Horse, but since starting using Hoopla I read a lot of Spawn from Image Comics) before feeling like switching comics again: I’m vaguely debating over reading the Big Two again.

While I have a Marvel stigma going on because I’m not happy with them in their current form I’m also familiar with DC more because they a have a much better legacy than Marvel in my opinion unless there are comics from both companies that I can read without a stigma.

Overall, I don’t know where to begin with the Big Two now that I changed my mind again.

For DC, I may read Batman or Superman but I don’t know where to begin for either one.

For Marvel, I don’t know where to start and I currently have a stigma for them because of their movies becoming more dominant.

Where should I start rereading the Big Two?

    It’s going to be a matter of trying other titles and seeing what works for you. I’ve thrown a lot of options at you, so see if anything takes your fancy from that, but, from what you say, I might suggest Jeff Lemire is a good place to start - his Black Hammer superhero universe is at Dark Horse, his Sweet Tooth was published by Vertigo. His written a lot so have a read around as there’ll be something that takes your fancy. At the Big Two I’d recommend his Animal Man, Frankenstein and Justice League Dark runs.
