People can't be expected to be walking encyclopedias lol, they have to give people enough to go and enjoy the story without being comic historians.

I know that sort of thing confused me before, which is why I love graphic novel collections because they take all the relevant comics and put them together. I really need to start reading more graphic novels in general though.

There are so many things happening within a single story, so it's easy to jump in and go. Jacob and I love looking at thrift stores and used book stores for older comics (especially Daredevil)! I actually found a signed copy today. :)<br /><br />A lot of people like to start with #1 and follow the series until it's over, but like you said... you can start in the middle of the current volume and be okay. The continuity is still there, but you don't need to read ALL of them to understand what is going on. I'm glad you're familiar with comics, because it's so hard to explain! I try to think of the simplest terms, but it still gets all twisty. <br /><br />I love the Legacy numbering, too! It lets you know how long a specific comic has been around. I like the idea of comics having both, so we'll see how that goes...<br />Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-64568039190588433962018-05-16T20:50:58.133-04:002018-05-16T20:50:58.133-04:00That is weird about Hunt for Wolverine!

And it's too bad about the Legacy numbering because I'm one of those people that LOVES the old numbering, but I know it's all so confusing right now with Marvel changing everything every 5 minutes. I don't know how new people can make sense of it- but then on the other hand continuity doesn't matter as much anymore, so maybe you just go with the current volume and not worry about earlier stuff? At least initially... I don't know. I personally always liked starting a series that had hundreds of issues, it made me feel like it was part of a shared history and the hunting down older issues was fun. :) Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-6832864209267267512018-05-16T20:26:43.192-04:002018-05-16T20:26:43.192-04:00That's why a lot of comics do short volumes or...That's why a lot of comics do short volumes or a mini series. They're not as hard to keep up with, and people are more inclined to buy something that only has a few issues instead of those that appear to have 100s. In reality, those short volumes are probably part of something larger, which is where Legacy numbering comes in. It helps you see the picture as a whole.Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-79950998849176080412018-05-16T20:23:36.290-04:002018-05-16T20:23:36.290-04:00Read my response to Lily Element and see if that h...Read my response to Lily Element and see if that helps!

BIG ONES, too. <br /><br />The numbering isn't too confusing once you get used to it. Daredevil has been running for a long time, right? Legacy numbering is whatever number the series is on as a whole. However, people don't want to go out and buy a comic when it's on #154 or #454. It makes it seem like a daunting task that's too big to bother with. People are more likely to buy a comic that's only on issue #3, and a lot of people will try a first issue. Someone somewhere decided to start numbering the comics based on what volume they were on, so usually when someone else takes over a comic or a new volume starts. <br /><br />Now the comics will show what number the volume is on, AND how many there have been since the comic started. Does that help?Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-87556203605061961542018-05-16T20:19:29.441-04:002018-05-16T20:19:29.441-04:00I think that is why I haven't really started c...I think that is why I haven't really started comics.
