What should I read next?
After loving Dick Grayson since childhood I’ve finally decided to stop relying on TV, Cartoons, and YT shorts and actually picked up a comic. I just read Tom Taylor’s run through volume 3 (Battle for Blüdhaven’s Heart) as I heard that’s a great starting point without prior knowledge. I found the reading guide pinned on this subreddit, and I recognize a lot of the runs and it looks like it’ll be fun to read through! I’ve pasted the list below:
• Robin & Batman
• Robin: Year One
• Teen Titans: Year One
• Batman/Superman: World's Finest
• World's Finest: Teen Titans
• Robin: The Bronze Age Omnibus
• New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol 1
• DC Finest: Teen Titans: The Judas Contract
• Nightwing: Year One
• Batman: Prodigal
• Nightwing: A Knight in Bludhaven Compendium
• Nightwing by Peter Tomasi
• Batman Battle for the Cowl: The Complete Collection
• Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol 2
• Justice League of America: Team History
• Batman: The Black Mirror
• Nightwing: Rebirth Omnibus
• Nightwing by Tom Taylor Omnibus
• Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths
• Titans: Beast World
So, from where I’ve ended reading, I was thinking of just going back to the beginning of this list. Is that a solid plan? Is there anything missing from this list that I should add? I’m not trying to do a quick read, I’m ready to get in the weeds, I wanna know as much as possible.
Also what’s with New 52? I noticed it’s missing from the list, would that be important? I know parts of the attempted reboot are canon and others are not? I’m not super clear on the specifics, importantly in regards to Dick.
Another thing, is the Ric Grayson era included in this listing? I know this was an era people HATED, however Taylor’s run seems to be the direct aftermath of that and how it was solved so I figure it’s important to know in that regard.
Note: I have NOT read any other DC Comics. I have general knowledge of characters, I am a fan, I’ve just never gotten into the comics until now and I want to start with Nightwing.
Thank you!
