Can you recommend some of the best recent DC stories for new readers?

Sure. 'Superman: Birthright' is a great one for new readers. It tells the story of Superman's origin in a modern and engaging way. It has great art that helps bring the story of Clark Kent growing up and becoming Superman to life.

Sure. 'Watchmen' is a great start. Although it's a bit different from the typical DC Multiverse stories in some ways, it has a deep exploration of superheroes in an alternate world. It makes you think about power, morality, and the role of heroes. It's a classic that many new readers find engaging.

For new readers, 'All - Star Superman' is great. It shows Superman at his best, with his classic powers and noble character. The story is self - contained and easy to follow, while still having a lot of heart and great art.

New readers might enjoy 'JLA: The Nail'. It has a straightforward plot that explores what would happen if Superman was never adopted by the Kents. 'Batman: Year 100' is also a great choice. It's set in the future and has a different look at Batman's character. And 'Gotham by Gaslight' is perfect for those who like a different time - period setting for Batman stories. It's not too complex and has a lot of charm.

Sure. For new readers, 'Batman: Hush' is a great choice. It has a lot of popular Batman characters and a mystery - filled plot. Another good one is 'Superman: Red Son' which gives an alternate take on Superman's origin, where he lands in the Soviet Union instead of the United States.

I'd recommend 'DC Holiday Special'. It has multiple short stories, so new readers can sample different styles and characters. They can see how different heroes and villains interact during the holidays without having to commit to a long, complex storyline.

New readers might like 'Batman and Robin: The Beginning'. It's a simple yet engaging story about how Batman and Robin started working together. 'Supergirl: Arrival on Earth' is also a nice pick. It tells the story of Supergirl coming to Earth and adjusting to life here. And 'Harley Quinn: The Start of Her Story' is good as it shows how Harley Quinn got involved with the Joker and started her journey in the DC world.

Sure. 'Action Comics #1' is a must - read. It's where Superman first appeared and it gives a great sense of the origin of the superhero concept in DC. Then there's 'Detective Comics #27' which is the debut of Batman. It's a simple yet effective story that shows Batman's early days.

Sure. 'The Flash: Rebirth' is a great start. It's easy to follow and gives a good introduction to the Flash's powers and his place in the DC universe. Another one is 'The Flash: Born to Run'. As it's about his origin, new readers can quickly understand how he became the Flash.

The 'Future State' stories are worth mentioning. They offered a look at different possible futures for the DC heroes. Some of the character redesigns were really cool, and the stories explored how the heroes' legacies could evolve in different directions, providing fresh perspectives on familiar characters.
