Comics Are Awesome - Continuity

JD takes a look at the intimidating world of comic book continuity.

  1. I'm not even going to pretend like I know anything substantial about comic books (I've got a few, but hardly a collection), but what I've read, I've liked, and I can definitely see why so many people would get dedicated to their favorite heroes.

    I don't know much about continuity, but like you said, I don't think I'd have much trouble getting into comics thanks to something like Wikipedia. And I feel like I'm doing myself a disservice by not getting knee-deep in Captain America comics.

    In any case, thanks for the video. Pretty entertaining stuff -- which reminds me, I need to start getting into Doctor Who as well.

  2. Oh, almost forgot -- you mentioned mythology in your video, right? A friend of mine discussed comics in the same light, and has a mini-series of posts on the subject over on his blog. You should give it a read if you can spare the time.

    Here's part one:
