[abysscronica]

other than One Piece what other fandom are you in? or better what shounen did you watch?

You mean to talk about or submit ask on it? I don't know about fandoms per se, but I can tell you the media I'm familiar with.

This is my Anime Planet profile, I use it to keep track of the manga I read & anime I watch. It's public, so have fun.

You can find the rest of the media I'm familiar with under the cut divided in categories.

Comic books, while an iconic part of the world, can be a niche subject to newbies. But I'm here to list some comics I have read that should be good for newcomers to those types of books. No manga since i'm planning to do a list of anime for newbies and no comic strips since anyone can pick up and read those. And I'm also including graphic novels here.

Note: some of these are all ages while others are for more mature audiences. So I'm putting an MA on certain titles.

(and i plan to make another one of these in the future)

DC:

Superman smashes the klan

Taking place in 1946, a young chinese girl and her family move to metropolis, home of superman. But they find themselves face to face with the clan of the fiery cross, and superman has to take them down. Based on the radio broadcast, it’s a well-told story about race and identity, while showcasing interesting stuff regarding clark kent’s identity as a kryptonian. And yes it does have some derogatory, mostly towards chinese. But other than that, it’s suitable for all ages.

Man of steel 1986

Yes, it’s a pretty basic retelling of superman’s origin story, but for those who want to get into the character it’s a good read.

Batman the dark knight returns

(MA)

This graphic novel takes place in the future as gotham city gets plagued by criminals called the mutants. Bruce Wayne dawns the cape and cowl once more after his retirement to fight evil once again. Now this book has a more violent and cynical batman then other interpretations, but it’s still an interesting read for anyone with any knowledge of the caped crusader.

 

Batman the long Halloween 

(MA)

Now for a more traditional batman story, it follows bats as he uncovers a mystery behind murders that take place once a month. Not only is it a great mystery, but it’s also a good character study to Harvey Dent, the man who would become two-face.

Watchmen

(MA)

Watchmen follows the life of former superheroes after vigilantism is outlawed, and it’s more of a character then a traditional superhero story. Just expect that when getting into it.

Marvel:

Ultimate Spider-Man 

Now i have only read the first three arcs of this spiderman run, but it’s a great introduction to his comics, just avoid ultimatum. It sucks.

Punisher born:

(MA)

Not a lot of people know a lot about the punisher, but this story should be a good introduction to the character. It’s basically frank Castle's time in the vietnam war, while it is graphic as hell, it is a good look into Frank's mind.

Other:

Bone

This cartoon epic follows these three cousins called the bone cousins. After getting run out of boneville, they discover an ancient and medieval place called the valley where an evil force slowly unfolds. It’s funny, epic and dark and it should be a good fantasy read for newcomers.

Nimona

This book follows a girl named Nimona as she becomes the henchman of a villain named Ballister blackheart, who isn't that bad of a guy. It’s an amazing blend between fantasy, sci-fi, humor and drama with a gripping narrative and it’s made by the same lady who did the she-ra reboot, noelle stevenson.

In real life

In real life is about a teenage girl who gets hooked on to an mmorpg called Coarsegold Online. And over time she discovers a gold farming community in the game, and drama ensues from there since I don't wanna spoil this heartfelt drama for gamers.

Scott pilgrim

(MA)

I'm sure everyone knows about the scott pilgrim movie, but the comic is better in my opinion, and i have seen the movie for years. It still follows the premise of a loser who has to fight seven ex-boyfriends for a cool girl, but there’s a lot more interesting stuff put in there that I don't wanna spoil. 

Tmnt idw

Everyone knows about the turtles, but the idw run is a good take on the characters for old fans and new fans alike

Megaman archie comics

Just like with tmnt idw, this is a good take on the megaman games for old and new fans.

Persepolis

(MA)

Unlike all the other books here, Persepolis is an autobiography of Marjane Satrapi, the creator of the book, as she illustrates her life in Iran during and after the Islamic Revolution. Yes it is brutal, but it’s a beautiful told story of someone's life. 

Maus

(MA)

Just like with persepolis, it’s an autobiography. But this one takes place in Auschwitz during world war 2, where the author illustrates his grandfather's life during that time, but with the jews as mice and nazis as cats. Just like persepolis, maus is brutal but a great and dramatic read for anyone interested in world war 2.

want to read good comics soooo bad but there’s like 1000 ones for each character with like 20 different runs. and then you find one but it’s actually from a run created by white guy #13 who fundamentally misunderstands the character. you find another and it turns out that it’s not canon. find another and it’s decent, only to read another and find that they both contradict each other. read an old comic book and you get to enjoy a story, with maybe even a nice dash of racism and sexism. read another and again you have to say ‘he would not say that.’ the next step is to cry ig.
