This is generally why I don't read western comics. I prefer a closed-end story, not hundreds (or thousands?) of stories that all interact with each other published over 40 years and you need to read as many as possible to see the whole.

Clearly it's a your mileage may vary, but I much prefer the ones that end without the characters migrating to another comic. :)

Western comics =/= Marvel and DC superhero comics

A) Not all western comics are Marvel and DC.

B) There are a ton of closed-ended stories in Marvel and DC.

C) You don't need to read all of the stories to understand the one you are currently reading.

Most of the better written stories are done so that you don't need to know the backstory to get what's going on.


Superman/Shazam is totally enjoyable if you know nothing about either character. The Incredible Hercules, Straczynski's Thor, the Runaways, Thor: The Mighty Avenger, X-Men: First Class, Shazam and the Monster Society of Evil. These are all books you can just pick up and read.

And that's not even counting stuff like Blankets or Invincible or iZombie or anything by Erin Faith Hicks, not to mention the small press stuff. Western comics are more than dudes in capes punching each other until the end of time.

Also, this, because I feel like pushing Faith Erin Hicks on people. (Her work is so good!)
