Masters of the Universe Comics Reading Order

Developed to support Mattel’s Masters of the Universe toy line, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is an American animated television series produced by Filmation and first broadcast in syndication from 1983 to 1985, for a total of 130 episodes.

Blending sword-and-sorcery tropes with science-fiction elements, the series is set on the planet Eternia and follows a wandering barbarian named Prince Adam, who transforms into the hero He-Man to battle his enemy Skeletor, who seeks to take over Castle Grayskull. Who controls the ancient Castle Grayskull will become the Master of the Universe.

Since its debut, Masters of the Universe has expanded into a long-running multimedia franchise. Extensions include theatrical and direct-to-video animated series, a live-action feature film (Masters of the Universe, 1987), several television reboots and reinterpretations, and multiple comic book lines. The first one was the now cult minicomics that were put in the original action figures’ packaging. There was a second wave of minicomics produced by DC Comics, and more came later. There was also a newspaper comic strip, a Marvel series, and finally, DC Comics developed a true line of comics during the 2010s, until Netflix relaunched the TV Show and Dark Horse Comics took over the books.

The Best Vertigo Comics Series: 20 must-read comics books

Updated on January 26, 2026

In 2026, Vertigo Comics is officially back in business. DC Comics discontinued the imprint in January 2020 and announced its return 4 years later, but nothing significant came of it until now. New series, including spin-offs of old hits, are coming, and this makes for the perfect time to look back at the greats that earned Vertigo its reputation.

If you are not familiar with the history of Vertigo, it was launched in 1993 under the direction of editor Karen Berger. Dedicated to creator-driven comics for mature readers, the imprint was freed from the constraints of DC’s main continuity and the Comics Code Authority (CCA), providing writers and artists with a level of creative autonomy that led to some of the medium’s most influential series.

Its true origin can be traced to DC’s mature-reader experiments of the 1980s and to landmark works such as The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen, which demonstrated a growing audience for adult-oriented comics. But everything truly began when DC stopped submitting The Saga of the Swamp Thing to the CCA. Under Alan Moore, the series helped usher in a new wave of writers (many from the United Kingdom) often referred to as the “British Invasion.”

Ghostbusters Comics Reading Order (IDW and Dark Horse)

If there’s something strange in your comics, who you gon’ call? Ghostbusters! And to do that, you’ll have to check out IDW Publishing’s catalogue, as it has been the house of the Ghostbusters comics since 2008.

The Ghostbusters franchise started with the 1984 movie, directed by Ivan Reitman and written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It introduced us to this team of ghost hunters, professors Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore. They had to face the evil Zuul to save New York City. It was only the beginning of their adventures.

The property subsequently expanded into animated television series, most notably The Real Ghostbusters (1986–1991) and Extreme Ghostbusters (1997), as well as video games, novels, and comic books. In comics, The Real Ghostbusters was adapted in the late 1980s by NOW Comics in the United States and by Marvel UK in the United Kingdom, both drawing directly from the animated series. In the 2000s, the Quebec-based publisher 88MPH Studios also produced The Real Ghostbusters comics. There was even a one-shot Manga in 2008.

In 2008, IDW Publishing acquired the license to produce Ghostbusters comics. Unlike previous publishers, IDW shifted away from the animated continuity and instead focused on the primary film continuity established by Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II (1989), later incorporating elements from Ghostbusters: The Video Game (2009), which was co-written by Aykroyd and Ramis and is often treated as a canonical sequel. IDW lost the license in 2020 to Dark Horse Comics, putting an end to this continuity.

Superman All In Reading Order

Following the conclusion of Absolute Power, in which Amanda Waller was pitted against the superhero community and all the metahumans, a new status quo emerged in the DC Universe! This is the start of the DC All In, a new era launched with the formation of a new Justice League and the creation of the Absolute Universe, which was shaped by Darkseid.

This is also a time of resurgence for Superman! While DC Comics has been heavily focused on the Batman Universe for several years, the publisher started to slowly shift and give more space to other superheroes. With The Man of Steel taking a new flight to the cinemas in 2025, a new focus on the Superman comic book line emerged. There have been reprints of some old classics and neglected eras, while the Kryptonian found himself at the center of more heavy and important stories in the present.

From the exploration and expansion of his past under Mark Waid’s guidance to the present adventures written by Joshua Williamson and Dan Slott and the Absolute Superman of Jason Aaron, you can right now start discovering all the Superman comics from the DC All In era!

Daredevil Omnibus Reading Order!

Who would suspect a blind lawyer to be a vigilante in a devil-like costume? Matt Murdock has been fighting crime in New York City under the costume of Daredevil since his first appearance in April 1964. Originally portrayed as a swashbuckler, he was redefined a decade and a half later by Frank Miller as a darker, street-level hero, which is how he is known today.

Since then, Daredevil has become one of Marvel’s most celebrated heroes, consistently delivering high-quality stories and perhaps being one of the most accessible for new readers. After all, Daredevil is quite a solo character and has rarely played a major role in the grand scheme of Marvel Comics. He has rarely been the lead in a major crossover event, except for street-level ones such as Shadowland and Devil’s Reign, and while he is part of the New York superhero community, he is not a team player. He can be a good guest star in another Marvel comic, but not one put there to boost sales. While he has headlined several miniseries and limited series, his universe has never expanded in the same way as Spider-Man’s, for example.

Marvel Comics has naturally collected DD’s comics in various formats, including classic trade paperbacks, Marvel Masterworks, the popular Epic Collection and, of course, the Omnibus line. Since the release of the first Daredevil Omnibus twenty years ago, the collection has grown to include the most famous Daredevil stories and the most epic tales featuring the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.

Today, we are focusing on one of our favourite Marvel heroes with this Omnibus guide, which is a great way to discover and collect Daredevil comics.

Marvel Infinity Reading Order, Jonathan Hickman’s event (+Inhumanity)

by Fabien
Updated on January 16, 2026

Written by Jonathan Hickman with art by a rotating team of artists including Jim Cheung, Jerome Opeña, and Dustin Weaver, “Infinity” is a 2013 cosmic-scale crossover centered primarily around two series: Avengers (Vol. 5) and New Avengers (Vol. 3). Published during the Marvel NOW! initiative, the event is the culmination of plotlines Hickman had been developing since taking over both series, like the expansion of the Avengers roster, the rise of the multiversal threat known as the incursions, and the political maneuverings of the Illuminati.

The storyline unfolds on two major fronts. In deep space, a unified galactic alliance faces an existential threat from the Builders, an ancient race responsible for shaping early cosmic evolution. Their arrival, triggered as every Origin Site on Earth suddenly activates, initiates a destructive campaign across space. Led by Captain America, The Avengers join the interstellar coalition, leaving Earth temporarily unguarded as Iron Man stays behind in the hope of finishing the preparation for the last line of defense.

This absence creates the opening Thanos has been waiting for. Motivated by a long-hidden secret concerning Earth’s new Inhumans, The Mad Titan launches a coordinated invasion of Earth with the members of his Black Order, each targeting strategic locations and individuals.

As the Avengers wage a desperate war against the Builders in space, the remaining heroes on Earth struggle to repel Thanos’s forces and uncover the true purpose of his return.

Renee Montoya Reading Order

Harley Quinn may be the most famous character created for Batman: The Animated Series to join the main line of DC Comics, but she was not the only one. Created in 1992 by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and Mitch Brian for the same show, Renee Montoya first appeared as a uniformed officer partnered with Harvey Bullock.

Renee Montoya made her comics debut in Batman #475. She was introduced to readers as Commissioner Gordon’s new assistant. She was later promoted to homicide detective and became Bullock’s partner. At that point, she had become one of the most notable recurring members of the GCPD, appearing in major story arcs, often in relation to Two-Face.

In the Gotham Central comics, by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka, Renee Montoya took a turn when she was forcibly outed as a lesbian and framed for murder. This had an impact on her career and personal life. Her following struggles led her to resign. But this was not the end of her career fighting crime. She would eventually find herself on a quest that put her under the mask of The Question.

Through the years, she became professionally and romantically involved with Batwoman, teamed up with other crime fighters, but eventually, as DC Comics underwent relaunches, she was put aside before returning as a cop and later as The Question. In recent years, she rejoined the GCPD and became commissioner, but then joined the Justice League…

Dragon Age Comics – A Guide to the Stories Beyond the Games

Alongside The Elder Scrolls and The Witcher, Dragon Age has become one of the most influential fantasy worlds in modern gaming. Created by Canadian developer BioWare, the series is set on the fictional continent Thedas, a land shaped by magic, religion, and political conflicts, where the player steps into the role of different characters at moments of crisis.

Dragon Age: Origins, the first game in the series, was released in 2009. It was the start of a multimedia franchise that now includes multiple role-playing games, novels, comics, animated films and series, short stories, and extensive in-game lore. Together, these stories explore and expand the history of Thedas, its characters, and mythologies.

Dragon Age’s first comic was also released in 2009, and it would not be the last. The franchise would really start to expand in this format in 2012, when Dark Horse Comics started publishing stories set in Thedas, beginning with the digital-only release of The Silent Grove. Since then, the publisher has released other comics that explore events between the games.

Follow this guide to discover all the Dragon Age comics available in omnibus, hardcover, and trade paperback formats, and see how they fit into the larger Dragon Age universe.

Batgirls DC Reading Order

Batgirl. One of the most quintessential allies of Batman. Created by Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff, the initial incarnation of the character first appeared in Batman #139 (April 1961), presented as a female counterpart to our famous superhero. Under the costume at the time was Betty Kane, the niece of Kathy Kane (aka Batwoman), but the character simply disappeared in 1964. Batgirl was reintroduced in 1967, with Barbara Gordon under the mask, destined to become the more iconic Batgirl.

Batgirl is a crime fighter in Gotham City who regularly appeared in Detective Comics, Batman Family and several other DC books until 1988. However, Barbara Gordon decided to retire from crime-fighting before her whole life was transformed by the Joker. This event altered the trajectories of both Barbara Gordon and Batgirl. In 1999, in the “No Man’s Land” storyline, Batgirl returned to action as someone else finally assumed the mantle. Not long after that, Batgirl headlines her own title for the first time since her introduction.

Over the years, several characters have taken on the mantle of Batgirl, from the most famous, Barbara Gordon, to our favourite, the trained assassin, Cassandra Cain. Read on to discover all the Batgirls!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… “ruled the glorious Republic protected by the noble and wise Jedi Knights. As a symbol of all that is good, the Republic is about to launch Starlight Beacon into the far reaches of the Outer Rim. This new space station will serve as a ray of hope for all to see. But just as a magnificent renaissance spreads throughout the Republic, so does a frightening new adversary. Now the guardians of peace and justice must face a threat to themselves, the galaxy, and the Force itself…”

And so began Star Wars: The High Republic, the most ambitious publishing initiative in Star Wars history to date. Between 2021 and 2025, 25 novels, 139 comic book issues, 22 short stories, six original manga graphic novels, and five audio originals were published. Together, they tell one cohesive story set in the High Republic Era, two centuries before the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Cavan Scott, Claudia Gray, Charles Soule, Daniel José Older and Justina Ireland were the five original architects of this ‘mega-story’, although many other writers and artists also contributed to these adventures.

Today, we set off on an epic journey to take a closer look at the High Republic era with our Massive High Republic Reading Order, which is filled with books, comics, audiobooks, short stories, and even some television series!
