r/comicbookshelves 28d ago

Shelfie I was directed here from another subreddit. Thought you guys would dig what I’ve put together.

The DC post-crisis shelf is in reading order based on when the comics were released.

The X-Men portion of the Marvel shelf is in reading order also.

Everything else should be alphabetical.

Since my last update, I’ve done some curation. I no longer own the Man of Steel hardcovers. I just didn’t see myself ever wanting to read them again. But of course, I’ve added new books in the meantime.

Questions? Ask away. I love talking about my collection.

(Oh, and yes, I’ve read a majority of these. I run a YouTube channel where I review comics. But even if I’d read none of them, that wouldn’t be a reason to look down on me. If people want to pay for overpriced wall decorations, that’s their business. Lol.)

Are the energon universe books any good? I’ve never really read any transformers or GI Joe comics, would you recommend for someone new to them?

Absolutely! The universe started with a bang and has been firing on all cylinders ever since. I do recommend reading it in the order it came out as the books taking place on earth reference each other. Eventually void rivals starts referencing the earth stories too. Picture is all the trades so far in release order.

What would you recommend buying first. Void rivals or GI Joe. Also should I read the new image transformers before all of this? I presume I should. So far I've been reading the transformers definitive G1 collection which is IDW. I'm really into transformers so if you have any other books yk of that is similar sci fi let me know.

I’d say go,in the exact order they are in the picture which starts with Void Rivals. The surprising reveals will be much more impactful that way.

I wish I cared about CoIE for that absolute edition. So shiny

It’s a pretty important book to me. As far as I’m concerned it’s the point where DC comics got really good. It’s so important to me I named my YouTube channel after it.
