A lot of people get into comics thanks to TV or movie adaptations, but it seems like some media are seen as more legitimate entry points than others. Oh, so you saw the Dark Knight and want to get in on some cool dark Bat comics? Sounds great. You got into comics because you saw the Captain America: The Winter Soldier and want to know more about Steve and Bucky how it happened in the comics? Ugh, you’re probably just a fangirl obsessed with Sebastian Stan. Even if the Brubaker/Epting Captain America stuff is genuinely good and awesome, people will judge you for starting there because somehow you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
