Z is for ZATANNA: BRING DOWN THE HOUSE
Basically just Javier Rodriguez stretching for the industry changer to come that would be Absolute Martian Manhunter, but his warmups need to be measured on the Richter scale.

Y is for YOUNG JUSTICE (1998)
One of the most fun things I did for 52 Pickup was read through this whole series for a bonus episode. Not all of it holds up, but enough does that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

X is for THE UNCANNY X-MEN AND THE NEW TEEN TITANS
Fuck you I’m counting it. It wasn’t gonna be Xenobrood. Your favorite comic creators’ favorite crossover comic, and a standard setter for what they have aspired to since.

W is for WONDER WOMAN HISTORIA: THE AMAZONS
Another book outside of continuity that should really just be canon. If that “Paradise Lost” show ever happens, this will probably be the Series Bible.

V is for V FOR VENDETTA
I wouldn’t say it’s *more* relevant than it was in the 80s, but it certainly isn’t *less*. Forget 4chan and read it yourself.

U is for UNEARTHED: A JESSICA CRUZ STORY
A comic I put off reading for a long time because I was concerned about the swings it would take with one of my favorite characters. Turns out I like this origin way better than her Geoff Johns one. Make it canon.

T is for TOP 10
Selling this to you as Alan Moore’s The Venture Bros. The most fun comic in his ABC line, about what the cops would be like in a city populated entirely by superheroes.

S is for SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN. The number one comic I recommend to people who loved the new Superman movie. Absolutely the real punk rock.

Every part of this book is good, even the sicko parts you hate. You just need to unhinge yourself.

P is for PENGUIN: PAIN AND PREJUDICE
The number one comic I recommend to fans of the Penguin TV show. The essential text on the character, and a terrific study of a villain.

O is for OUTSIDERS (2023)
It’s hard to recommend Planetary after So Many of Us, but it really is such an important text to how comics would change in the 21st century. If it means anything to you, this follow-up is a fascinating, complex examination of our Post-Planetary Comic Book World.

N is for NEW SUPER-MAN
An unbelievably ambitious exercise in redeeming just about every Sinophobic caricature of a character from DC’s recent and distant history, while also introducing a huge cast of great new Asian heroes.

M is for MARTIAN MANHUNTER (1998)
There are a lot of really great Martian Manhunter runs, and they’re all great for different reasons. This is just straight up one of the best Super Hero comics you can find on the idea of secret identity.

K is for KRYPTO: THE LAST DOG OF KRYPTON
I may not be much of a dog person, but I’m not heartless. A beautiful book that will destroy you if you care even a little bit about animals.
