Calling all comic fans! How do you pick a new series to read?

Do you read comics or graphic novels regularly? How do you choose a new series to start?

I'm a bit of a completionist with the urge to collect card games (Magic: the Gathering, Spellfire) and roleplaying books (Fighting Fantasy, D&D and similar systems), but I'd like to read more comics and graphic novels.

The problem is I have no idea where to start!๐Ÿ˜† I check a few sites on Wednesdays (new comic day!), but I just flit around based on whichever cover looks the coolest!

Here are a few I picked out this week ๐Ÿ˜ Let me know if any of them look good!


  • 2000 AD PROGS 2380-2384 (Rebellion / 2000AD)

Plus Judge Dredd fights a battle of survival in the wild in "Rend & Tear With Tooth & Claw" by Rob Williams and RM Guera!

In the far future, the man known only as Rook wants out. He reckons anywhere is better than the crumbling planet Exodus, where all of nature-especially its imported animal population-has grown out of control as the world's engine has utterly failed. Scavenging for an escape vessel, he's interrupted by the power-hungry bear master named Ursaw, who won't stop until he rules all of what remains of Exodus. Also: Who is the mysterious Dire Wolf? And is she Rook's ally...or enemy?

Local Man has lost Farmington to forces of Faceless Horde. Now every townsperson is a devout, fanatical member of a sprawling terrorist organization bent on rebooting world-including his own grieving mom.

Now Jack is alone and outclassed. Thankfully, he has one thing that makes every Image superhero smile...

Lots and lots of big ass guns.
