Also, if you want to read Batman or Superman then maybe don't start with the stuff from the 30s and 40s. Comics from back then aren't exactly the most friendly to a modern reader as they were written entirely for children from that time, and comic storytelling has evolved a whole lot.

Oh yeah I had no intention of going back to the 30s/40s era of Batman. I'm talking mostly from the 80s onwards. As for Sandman, I have the TPBs so I probably have the full main story then? These series do get confusing though, with sequels and prequels and bloody alternative universes and timelines. Wasn't like that in my day.
Oh wait: it was.
