I fear you'll get tired of me reccing things (I feel I have done nothing but during this challenge!), but I'll obey the challenge,so, here: a few more! Exclusively comics, this time, and I'll try to pic some mini-runs and self-contained issues that I haven't talked about yet (that I remember lol).
- Oracle: Year One. This criminally short story can be found in "The Batman Chronicles" #5. It should be AT LEAST four issues long, on par with other "Year One" arcs (the Joker is getting THREE FREAKING ISSUES this month smh), but it is pretty damn near perfect as it is. A love letter to Barbara Gordon's character and a look into how she rebuilds herself after TKJ. The perfect un-fridging.
- JLA/Titans #1-3. Mainly a Titans story and a precursor for Titans (1999). Very, very interesting, seemingly like everything Devin Grayson writes, one way or another.
- The Enigma of the Amigara Fault by Junji Ito. Just read it. I won't spoil anything, just embrace the creepiness.
- Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1-6. If you know and love Kara Zor-El, read it. If you're only vaguely aware of who her character is, READ IT.
- Dark Knights of Steel #1-12 (+ Tales from the Three Kingdoms). A "medieval" AU of DC. Quite interesting concepts. Might inspire you.
- Batman '89 #1-6. A must if you liked Burton's Batman. It's set after Batman Returns, it's only six issues long, and it has a great (and very different) Barbara, AND a new Robin character that I feel for almost immediately.
- Waller vs. Wildstorm #1-4. A reddit comment described its writers as “a de facto communist and a diversity hire grifter”, so it had to be at least interesting. Also, it has a better Waller than the one in canon rn.
- Batman: Son of the Demon. A classic. Great Talia, great Brutalia, and the original inspiration of Damian.
