2000- 2008

So here we are- at the very start! Now It’s up to you how you want to do it- but when I start a new comic series, I often find myself going to its Wikipedia page on my tablet and scrolling down to the ‘collected editions’ section. Then I screenshot it to have an easy way to flick back and find out where to stop reading until and make sure I’ve not missed out on a good tie-in or a special.

I’ll also list the stuff I’ve not personally read in italics. For full disclosure there are some comic books (but not a lot) which I thought were important enough to include but didn’t get around to when I initially started working on the list for myself. I’ve still added them to this blog to keep it well rounded.

You may notice some of the text above is coloured differently- that’s because it’s to link series’ that are interlinked with one another and usually rely on having read the other to make sense. Many of these cross from one phase to another. Any bullet point which has all the text in brackets is a single issue
