5 Criminally Overlooked Comics Everyone Should Be Reading
It's not all Batman, y'know.
It's certainly fair to say that it's pretty hard to get into comics. With all the reboots, diverging continuities and elseworld stories, it's understandable why those who have enjoyed the movie or TV outputs of the Big Two - Marvel and DC - haven't dived into the medium where they originated from, despite the on-screen versions sharing the same characters.
Though, to be honest, what's slightly more baffling is amount of series that the majority of those already invested in comics seem to not notice, despite the inherent brilliance of the heroes both in and behind these excellent books.
Again though, it's not exactly their fault, with so many great titles releasing each month, and comics not exactly being as cheap or easily available as they used to be, it's easy to see why some of these supposedly big titles are relatively overlooked in comparison to others of similar ilk.
But, never fear, because we've got you covered with some of our picks for a few of the currently ongoing, fantastic series you may have missed over the past few months (or years) - and, if you are new to comics, a couple of these would act as a wonderful jumping-on point.
5. Justice League Dark
You may not think it, but a team made up of Wonder Woman, Detective Chimp, Zatanna, Swamp Thing and Man-Bat makes for a great mystical tale.
After the superb story presented in Scott Snyder's Dark Nights Metal and its follow-up Justice League: No Justice the magic of the DC Universe is dying and set to bring all of humanity with it, but thankfully, Wonder Woman's Justice League Dark is on the case.
Without going into detail, the colourful cast of characters really play off each other well, the team delving into the many magical corners of DC, so if you've been missing supernatural side of comics, but enjoying the more mainstream superheroics of the main Justice League, then this is the perfect book for you.
