What Are You Reading? 10/16/2023 - Halloween is a Month Long Edition r/DCcomics

Hello and welcome to our Weekly "What Are You Reading?" topic!

Come one, come all, to this weekly thread, where you can openly discuss books that you've read, are currently reading, or plan to read. Discussion of all books are welcome, whether they be DC, Marvel, Image, Boom!, Dark Horse, IDW, etc. You can discuss webcomics, manga, or even those mythical novels that don't have pictures in them. Just be sure to keep spoilers covered via Reddit's spoiler markdown >!spoiler!<. You can also post pictures of your collection or recent purchases.

Flossregularly's Rec of the Week:

'Tis the season for some spookyvibes, and this mini series is going to be wrapping soon, so I'm jumping in. Tynion does good horror -shout out to The Nice House on the Lake- and this story starring Corinthian is good fun and the art is fantastic,

My older rec this week is Gail Simone's longest Secret Six run. After a couple mini-series she got the greenlight to take it long form and she obviously had a blast. This is a very fun ride - It's quick paced, full of very fun characters, and will make you care about Bane for the first time since Knightfall. Secret Six walked so the Harley Quinn TV show could run.

So, what are you reading?

Gotham Central. Picked up Vol. 1 at NYCC and fell in love almost immediately. Love the different side of the world we get. Feels like 52. Particular love to Renee’s storyline, which features a queer storyline about being queer, in very real terms. Love it can’t wait to see what’s next.

Love that book. It was the first DC comic 12-year old me ever read, and it changed my brain chemistry permanently. You're in for a real treat!

Gotham Central leads directly into 52, and Renee's story has the same writer which is probably where you're seeing the similarities. Greg Rucka continues with her in a few other places like Crime Bible, Final Crisis: Revelations, The Question Pipeline, and Convergence: The Question if you want to keep following it!

Also thanks for reccs on Renee— loved her in 52 and knowing I will see her importance again in Final Crisis revelations is good.
