The first batch of the DC Rebirth comics have ended their launch cycle, but it’s not too late to start reading DC Comics! This month there are heaps of awesome jumping on points including the start of new stories, special one-shots and even a few annuals too.
To save some confusion I’ve collated 16 comics that are great places to start reading DC Comics in November 2016. When collating these I have tried to make sure that they’re new reader friendly so you can dive into the comics and enjoy them.
Along with pointing out the comics I’ve added the solicitation text, creator credits, covers and other things to help you take the dive into DC Universe.
All of these will be available at any good comic book store, Comixology or the DC Comics app.
