Comic books count, right?

I'm definitely not a first-generation fan. I didn't start getting into comics on a serious level until a few years ago.

That being said, I tend to prefer old Bronze Age comics over the stuff we have now...

I've always been peripherally interested in comic books, though I never paid much attention to superhero stuff after a certain age until Batman Begins came out. Then I started reading some of the popular stories like The Dark Knight Returns (sigh) and Long Halloween and whatnot. In 2011 I got a friggin' mountain of Batman-related stuff for my birthday/Christmas and not long after that I decided to fill my unemployment with a comic marathon. I wanted to get into New 52 but so much of it seemed reliant on the previous continuity, so I decided I wanted to read every canon Batman story of that particular continuity.

I started off following a chronology that was almost entirely Legends of the Dark Knight arcs for the "first ten years" (chronology's standard) of Batman's career. The finale of those ten years was Crisis on Infinite Earths, so I read that (it's fun, but very dated.) After that I kept on reading Batman stuff, but I ended up reading Justice League International because he was in it. And then I kept reading it even after he stopped coming around anymore. I would also read the major events with the tie-ins and all, and sometimes that got me reading other books. I didn't start seriously branching out until a little bit into Kyle Rayner's career, however. But before I knew it, I was reading at least a quarter, sometimes half, of DC's 90s/00s catalog, and I don't regret it one bit.

I wanna do it again as soon as I get caught up on New 52.
