Morning all,
I haven't read comics since I was in my teens, I've wanted to start again but honestly don't know where to start...
I'm in my 40's now, I've always been a batman fan, judge Dredd, walking dead etc....
So I'm handing over to you..

Walking Dead do a good number of trade paperback collections but I went the compendium route - pretty much 50 issues in each of the two compendiums currently available.
DC did a restart a couple of years ago so Batman and Detective Comics started at issue 1 again. Trade collections of the first few arcs are already available but the actual comics are easy to find as many places overstocked.
OR, if you have Android or iOS at all, hit up ComiXology. Brilliant digital service, regularly has sales but the comics on there tend to be cheaper than dead tree versions anyway. Lots of collections as well as free issues to get you going and they don't take up the space that 'X' years of collecting brings (15 comic boxes and counting, here...)
Seriously considering buying the WD compendium, love the show but still wanna read it. Have both iPad and android pad so will check out your suggestions..

As well as Batman Year One, a great origin story for the Batman, well written and interesting art.
The Walking Dead compendium would be great for you, I've seen the first two in Waterstones and both are massive and full of issues. Probably cheaper online though, as almost all books are. If you want to get them gradually though the trade paperbacks are super cheap, but obviously don't hold as many issues, plus I believe that all the front covers join up to make one big picture!

I was thinking that when I mentioned the New 52 stuff, too. Good thing is that ComiXology tends to deal with collections almost automatically as soon as an arc is done with. Coz of that I tend to hold off on stuff I'm buying on there until the collections are done... sometimes that also coincides with a sale weekend so it's all good
There is also the new Marvel Now which is even more recent, although that wasn't a reboot, so it's a bit harder to get into than the DC stuff. But a lot of its still very good and fairly good for new readers too.
Ah well, someone has to!
I think there are a couple of GL fans on here, actually...
