dragons are cool, i tend to like them more when there is a novel take on them.
see that's the funny thing about comics, there are rules but each writer has their own slightly different set.
and i am a bit of a chaotic weirdo when it comes to suggesting how to get into comics. others will tell you trades or classic stories to ease someone in, not me. i belive the best way to get into comic books is to just go to a comic shop, rummage around the dollar bin and back issues till you see something that sparks interest. buy it, go home, and read it over and over again for a week. then go back, see if there is a next part, or an issue before and get it. if not just look for another book that looks interesting. superhero comics have a lot in common with pro wrestling, where beginners are just expected to jump in, go with the flow, and get caught up.
