comics are difficult to get into and the inconsistencies can be annoying/confusing and there is a lot of material to get through if you want to read major characters. but: it’s never so serious that you should let this stuff overwhelm you. just pick stuff up and try to figure out what’s going on. if you have a hard time going through a character’s reading order chronologically, just pick an event and read the issues for that specific story (trade paperbacks will make your life easier here). it’s literally not a commitment, tou can jump around however you like. reading comics isn’t homework, it should be fun

#I’ve always preferred reading single issues but I’ve heard ppl who don’t often read comics find trade paperbacks less overwhelming so!!#try that out. a lot of the classic storylines you here people reference may actually be very short! a lonely place of dying (tim’s intro &#debut as robin is 5 issues long. you’d be finished that before you finished a medium drink #not everything is no man’s land length (though. if you have fun with comics then you’ll work your way up to that probs! and you can always #read a few issues now and then some more in a few months and so on. no one can make you do anything in one particular way)#or come up with a list like ‘I want to read these characters’ introductions’#or if you’re only interested in the dynamic of certain characters…what’s stopping you from just jumping to stories relevant to that?#just have fun with it and read comics that seem fun. you might be surprised at how much you actually enjoy it when you’re not overwhelmed #way too many ppl say they would read if it didn’t seem so intimidating but guyssss you’re not getting graded on reading comics. just Start
