DC Comics was the publisher that hooked me on comics. Between picking up back issues of John Ostrander and Luke McDonnell’s Suicide Squad from a quarter bin and discovering Geoff John’s The Flash, there was no way I wasn’t going to read funny books for the rest of my life. As I dove into the world of superheroes, one of my absolute favorite things about The Flash and so many other comics at DC was the concept of legacy. So much at DC relied heavily on this idea, from Johns’ comics like JSA and Teen Titans to back issue classics like Starman. DC Comics’ stories were established in a world where superheroes had fought the good fight for close to a century and when one of them fell, someone else could pick up the mantle.
