If it doesn't include the Blood Syndicate, I will be highly disappointed.

This will probably never happen, but I think Blood Syndicate would make a fantastic TV series. You could even do it as a period piece in the early 90's. There's a lot to work with there.

DC Comics Reports They Are Getting Unprecedented Orders For Comic Where Superman Comes Out As Bisexual

DC Comics shook up the comic book industry when it announced that Jon Kent, son of Superman and the DC Universe’s new Man of Steel, was coming out as bisexual in November’s Superman: Son of Kal-El #5. With the excitement building until the release of the landmark issue and demand at an all-time...

Notice that there's no mention of actual numbers. So I'm just supposed to take their word that orders have "eclipsed those for the title's very first issue" huh? Oh, and how helpful of them to reprint the first four issues. This seems to have money grab written all over it.

Forgive me if this has been asked in here before.

I missed the comic book train in my youth. I'm thinking I would like to give it an honest try.

I like generally tend to Sci-fi from medieval swords & sorcery and space shenanigans.

Any recommendations for an older novice looking to start from the beginning of a story which isn't already a movie or TV series?

Actually, there's a new miniseries coming out from DC that places the Trinity in a medieval time story (not sent back in time, but actually a part of the timeline). It looks quite interesting.

Marvel is still doing Conan. Dynamite does Red Sonja, but they can't decide if they are going to keep her in her normal timeline or in our present.

Once and Future from Boom Studios is awesome. It's horror and magic and the return of King Arthur (and Beowulf) to the present all mixed into one. One of my favorite reads right now.

You may want to check out Saga from Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples. Kind of a space opera/fantasy story that's returning soon after a very long break, so you could pick up the trades and have time to catch up on the story.

Saga is excellent - but very much not for kids

Conan is the lead in "Savage Avengers."

Thor volume 6 (most recent) is supposed to be very good.

Edit: Never mind. Thor was doing well but now there's this https://www.cbr.com/thor-pet-avengers-most-powerful/

I have no clue what's been going on in Superman or Action. I dropped both once they put Bendis on it. Haven't picked it up to read since.
