My DC collection is beginning to wane so I need to start collecting something.
Most of my collection is just Batman.
What are some things I should look into collecting in the DC universe?
What do you suggest?
Keep in mind that I don't by individual issues anymore. I only by them in Graphic Novel form.

That's probably the best way. I hear Green Lantern is really good right now.

GL?
Okay. That's a starting point. Should I start collecting at Rebirth or go beyond that and work my way up to the Rebirth saga?

Any other suggestions in the meanwhile?
Should I pick up 52 or leave it alone?

Ron can answer that better than I can, he reads and downloads everything.

Anything that has Superman Prime in it, cause interesting shit happens when SMP is involved.
You should prolly at least be familiar with the events of Countdown to Final Crisis, to prepare for Final Crisis, and get Final Crisis when it comes out, if it is near as good as the previous two Crisis', it should be good.

Final Countdown...check

Okay, now I'm prepped for what's ahead but what about what's already been past?

Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis are two great limited series, I have picked up both at a local Borders.

Because they are the same person!!! It is the only logical explanation for why Superman can pull random powers out of his ass!
Anyway, Final Crisis 1 came out on May 28, heard it was good, I gotta pick it up.

I agree with all of V2D's selections of what to read in DC. Those are all the main stories, and if you find a character you like from one of those books- then look to adding that character's book to your collection.
But C is right, I download things I have no plan on even reading. Mostly for future reference if need be, I suppose.

It was alright, a bit too much PIS though IMO lol.
Matter of fact, you should pick up any Hulk comic as well for your collection. He's so strong he's a Marvel AND DC character!!!
