I know this is late but
I wanna get into the New 52 but I have no experience in comics
Is the New 52 the best place to start?
Yes, just pick the heroes you wanna read and buy their trades. There's only like 6 or 7 for each right now. For the ones that were there from the start. There are a lot of number ones that syarted later.
And in general, the books are better now than they were at the start. But, read the early, it's not that shit.
Yeah it's meant to be a jump-on point for people like you. If you have something specific you're interested in it might be helpful to check first to make sure it's not shit, but sometimes reading shitty comics can help too anyway when you're new to help you learn why something is bad so you don't go around merely repeating opinions you've read elsewhere.

Depends what you like, N52 has alot of pitfalls
If youre into Batman or Superman for ex, theres extensive classic books that are much better than what recent DC has to offer

Best way I have ever seen /co/ described. I doubt one in one hundred people here have actually read/watched the thing they're talking about

Just grab what you think you'll like and Star reading from the #1 point.
If you're just looking for a jumping in point, the reboot was made literally for the whole franchise to have the same jumping in point, so for about 98% of the stuff you can just backtrack to the #1 of the most recent volume and start reading there.
If you want recommendation on what's good, that's a different story,
But since you'd liking be hitting the torrents and be getting both the good and the bad I'd simply say give everything a glance and see where it goes for you from there.

As good place as any. Some of its good, some of it is shit, and it largely depends on what type of stuff you like that guides what books to pick.
>>77428094
Is there a specific character you want to read about?
Because many of them do have "BEST OF" trades/omnibuses that would be the easiest way to read some of their best older stories.
If you want to know more about a specific character
Name them and you will likely get recommended both full runs and stand alone stories.
N52 was designed to be a jumping in point, you can start there
But it may not be the best start for a very few or may not be the best run for most.
If you want everything, start n52 and then look back at your leisure.
If you want something for a specific character let us know.

is a mix bag, just make sure to get into the good half

Hey, OP. I only started reading comics this year for the first time ever after being a fan of movie and TV superheroes for years. I started off with some one-shot Superman comics and New 52 Aquaman, which I loved. New 52 Aquaman is very easily accessible to newcomers so I recommend it.
As others have said, the New 52 is meant as the start of the new continuity that continues to this day. There aren't too many books in each line and it's really easy to jump onto stuff.
As with anything, there are good books and not so great. Some start out great and go to crap later with a new creative team. Sone start out crap and go to great with a new creative team.
A list of books that are generally recommended at the start of the New 52 are:
Aquaman
The Flash
Wonder Woman
Batman
Animal Man
Demon Knights
I, Vampire
Swamp Thing
Other titles you can pick up if interested and will like or dislike due to personal preferences, but the ones above tend to be the generally agreed upon quality ones at the very start.
Yeah. The New 52 is a good place to start. Stuff like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman had some good runs. Green Lantern just kept going, so if you wanna get into that you'll have to read some older stuff. Flash also had a good run, and some older stories are great. Then there's stuff like Swamp-Thing that was fucking godly. Really good shit.

N52 Action Comics is good from the beginning, too.
