[truxillogical]

Five or so years ago, I went from having only seen Batman: The Animated Series to completely immersing myself in the DC Universe. Thanks to the internet, scans_daily, Justice League Unlimited, JLI, and a good comicshop, I got myself pretty brought up to speed and obsessed with many many characters and stories within a matter of months. Just dove right in.

I have never been able to get into X-men.

And I want to. I grew up watching that. Both cartoons. And I know the characters and like (most) of the movies, and Toad is one of my favorite Marvel creations...

But good gravy, no. I just can't even wrap my head around them and what's going on in their lives. I have no idea why it's so much harder with X-men, but...yeah. Just nothing is ever simple with them.

I'm totally fine with X-Men, but I cannot get my head around any part of the DCU other than the Batfamily. And since the reboot, that doesn't make sense either.

[dazzledfirestar]

Same here. X-Men doesn't tend to baffle me but the nu52? It's taken some effort to suss all that out.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. Getting into X-Men was easy for me.

[truxillogical]

Different strokes, maybe? (Although yeah, don't even get me started on how the reboot just makes the Batfamily more complicated and less family.)

I started off with the Justice League cartoon, which is pretty good for getting a grounding in the mythos. At the same time, someone made a fandom secret about Justice League International, and I decided to check them out. Scans_Daily had the infamous Oreo (well, Choco) story up, and after reading that and doing a bit of wiki, I went to the shop and bought the first couple of JLI trades and Booster Gold. Then F_S had a Rogues secret, and that got me into Flash...

I dunno, it was very piecemeal and I sort of worked backwards--the first Flash Rogues story I read was the last proper one to be written and all.


Meanwhile, every time I try to jump onto X-men, something like Xorn is happening.

[lilacsigil]

Oh, Xorn! No wonder you fled! I was actually a big DC fan in the late 80s and early 90s, and loved the JLA/JLE/JLI stuff. My favourite comic ever is Suicide Squad, and I had to know lots of backstory for that, but then it kept on changing and they kept sidelining or killing characters I liked, so I left. I come back every now and then (Gotham Central, Birds of Prey, Secret Six, Batwoman) but the main continuity confuses the hell out of me and I don't have the spare brainpower to put into it...not when I'm already keeping up with Marvel! Then again, I hate all the cosmic stuff in Marvel, so if that's on the up, maybe I'll be back over to the DC side soon.
