I'm new into the comic books scene. If you're going to start somewhere, the Absolute Crisis is a great place. This book is a magnum opus of DC. Although face time with character is limited due to the vast nature of the crisis, what you get is a very quick but essential overview of the entire cast.
This book is the complete re-vamp of the DC universe, so its a perfect place to start reading from. The books before the crisis are great, too, but there's only so much time in the day.

There's a reason why DC/Marvel are ... Read More

What can be considered as th "Star Wars" of the DCU!!!
"King sized",with extras such as the compendium to help you understand the scope of the story in the DCU and the historical context of it.
