I originally read both classic Marvel and DC before I tried reading indie comics again (Dark Horse, but since starting using Hoopla I read a lot of Spawn from Image Comics) before feeling like switching comics again: I’m vaguely debating over reading the Big Two again.
While I have a Marvel stigma going on because I’m not happy with them in their current form I’m also familiar with DC more because they a have a much better legacy than Marvel in my opinion unless there are comics from both companies that I can read without a stigma.
Overall, I don’t know where to begin with the Big Two now that I changed my mind again.
For DC, I may read Batman or Superman but I don’t know where to begin for either one.
For Marvel, I don’t know where to start and I currently have a stigma for them because of their movies becoming more dominant.
Where should I start rereading the Big Two?
I would start with a hero that you like. I dont think you have to pick either, just read what you like. So if you want to read Superman, just pick him up.
I did a little research on the best (standalone) stories of the heroes I wanted to follow, for example all star Superman, or Batman year 1. If I liked those, I would look at others, or recent editions.
Sometimes they branch out during runs, which would be reason for me to look at something new. For example there was a Black Panther series where he would have interactions with Xmen and Fantastic Four, causing me to read them and evaluate if I liked them.
Honestly it is all still quite overwhelming with how much stuff there is. Just pick something you like to get into it, and see it from there.
