So, you just subscribed to DC Universe Infinite. Where do you start? You shouldn’t really start at the beginning or else you’ll be reading forever since these comics have been coming out since before you were born. You likely have some context of the characters and the world from movies, friends, video games, cartoons, or other pop culture sources.
DC Universe Infinite is like a buffet. You can just dive in but it’s also nice to have a plan.
My recommendation is to start with reading the latest issues you’re interest in. If it just started, rewind a little to a story arc to have the most context. This will help you get current and make connections with other pop culture events.
After that, I would read books with characters you like or are interested in. After all, DC is the world with characters like:
- Aquaman
- Batman
- Flash
- Green Arrow
- Green Lantern
- Superman
- Wonder Woman
- The Justice League
- And many more!
After that, I would pick books from the lists of classics to really get your money worth.
