RECOMMENDATIONS

Timeline of Early Batman Stories - If you liked Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and are curious to see what Batman's early years were like in the comics, this is a list of the books you should check out, in chronological order. They feature his first year in Gotham, how he got the Batmobile, his first meetings with Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Two-Face, the Joker and many others, and ends with the story where he finally recruited Dick Grayson, the first Robin. GEEK NOTE: This list includes only stories that are in-line with current continuity/canon.

Must-Read Iron Man Stories - Enjoyed the movie? Here are the stories that have truly made Iron Man great.

Must-Read Hulk Stories - Want more smash? Wanna know just why the Hulk and Bruce Banner have different personalities? Enjoy Harlan Ellison? Then check out this list of some of the most enduring and heart-breaking stories starring the green goliath.

Must-Read Punisher Stories - Didn't care for the movies? Here are some comics that show you what Frank Castle is REALLY all about.

Must-Read Superman/Legion of Super-Heroes Team-Ups - Superman's such a cool guy that in the 30th century, a group of teens from different planets actualy join forces to be heroes, inspired by his example.

TERMINATOR Reading Recommendations - Didn't like the latest film and upset that The Sarah Connor Chronicles is over? Don't worry, here are some extra Terminator stories you might enjoy.

STAR TREK Reading Recommendations - Some fun stories dealing with the original crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise and the universe they inhabit.

Best YEAR ONE comic stories - "Year One" refers to a revised origin story for a comic character. So here are some great "early days" and "Year One" stories if you want to get into comics but aren't sure where to start.
