The new DC reboot has really energized me back into comic book reading. Note I said reading and not collecting. Its hard to collect with two kids under the age of four. I have a tendency to leave things laying around, and then one of my kids will inevitably get it, and most likely destroy it, and I cant blame a toddler for thumbing through a book to hard, can I? Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I have read great things about the huge arc titled “Flashpoint” which soars through multiple characters and miniseries in the Flash’s universe. I am trying to broaden myself a little right now since I have been a Superman/Batman universe guy for a while. Anyway, its a tough series to get into because you cant just go buy the “Flashpoint” arc (yet) ((unless your local comic book shop bundled them)), so I looked around for a few reading lists and finally landed on this. This is how I have entered it into my Omnifocus, and you should too.

Have you read any GNs such as Blankets, Scott Pilgrim, and/or Creature Tech?
not yet. do you recommend those?
How I wish I still had my old GI Joe comics! Oh to have coveted issue #2. At age 35 i still find myself dreaming about it.
So…do I have to buy all those comics? Is there an easy way for a comic beginner like myself to read the Flashpoint story?
