Are you or someone you know deep into superhero movies? Have you — or them, hypothetically — had trouble figuring out which books about those superheroes to read?
You’ll find no judgement here. DC and Marvel Comics have over 80 years of canon to explore, but this list is here to help. Each of these curated superhero suggestions was picked to be a great introduction to one of the biggest superheroes in Hollywood today.
While these might not be the comics that long-time readers expect, and some might not even feature the movie heroes exactly as you know them, these will keep new readers turning the page until the very end. From reinvented legacy heroes to classic arcs that established the status quo of super-stories as we know them, there’s something for every kind of reader here.
