darchildreSo. As I may have mentioned, I have been reading a lot of Marvel comics of late. But I ran out of Avengers-related cartoons and still have knitting to do, and thus I have been rewatching Justice League. Which has led to me rereading the DC comics that I have on my computer (mostly JLI and Suicide Squad).
I am enjoying Marvel comics a lot, but DC still kinda feels like "real comics" to me*. Even though I have pretty much ignored everything that DC has done in the past several years, because it seemed like everything that they were doing was calculated to cause me pain and I am a firm believer in the idea that comics should be fun. But I guess there has been a massive reboot that I didn't really pay attention to lately? So maybe they are doing fun things again.
Thus, I am coming to the internet to ask for recommendations. I like Batman (well, I like his rogue's gallery), never really cared much about Superman but would be willing to try, really love toon!verse Wally West but have never really read other Flashes, have never properly read Wonder Woman, and kinda want to punch Hal Jordan in the face all the time. I don't mind dark or creepy but I do draw the line at soul-crushingly depressing. I am willing to put up with bad art if the writing is fun. I like kickass ladies and would ideally prefer stories in which those kickass ladies are neither raped nor murdered.
Do any of you guys read semi-recent DC comics and do you have any that you would recommend? I would really appreciate it.
*I think part of it is the fact that I have not quite gotten over how everyone in Marvel comics lives in New York. That is crazycakes.
