Three Comic Book Characters Whose Series Were Called Something Else At First - #ComicBook #Blog

Ok, so what I mean by this is the fact that, ok, primarily just about everyone recognizes the characters from both, 'DC' and, 'Marvel'... But the truth is, is that comic book characters don't always start off where they end off at...

And with that said I thought I would mention 3 separate major characters that started off in different comic book series. 

Ok... At number 3. Batman... 

A great Bat-Man... Before he becomes, 'The Dark Knight'! 

That's right folks, before, 'Batman' got his own series, he started off in the realm of, 'Detective Comics'... Back in 1939! 

At number 2. Iron Man! 

A great comic!

As for Iron-Man... He started off in the world of, 'Tales Of Suspense' in 1963!

And at number 1. Thor!

This was Thor before he was an, 'Avenger'!

Before Thor got his own run... Before Thor became a member of the, 'Avengers,' Thor popped up in, 'Journey In To Mystery' #83 back in 1963!

Now if you like these fun facts, and or are a comic book fan, then check out the great comics that we have to offer by clicking here! 

Detective Comics #28 (1939) - #ComicBook #Review

Ok, so... So... so far I have to say that I am really quite impressed with where the Batman series started off with... I mean it is true that this comic had sort of a quiet start by consideration... But even if Batman hasn't started fighting people like, 'The Joker'... It is still pretty awesome! 

You know, you know some of the reasons that this amazing early series is great is not just because it is, 'The Bat-man'... But in truth it is because seeing the humble beginnings are just fun!
And you want to know what? The second issue of this comic book series is just as fantastic!

A fun one!

In the case of this comic... It looks like The Bat-man is going after a crime ring that is robbing filthy rich people! 

Ultimately the best thing about this comic is not so much the series itself, but the imagery... And what I mean by that is that these comics really are inked for their time, and seeing what Bruce Wayne/The Bat-Man is like in the 30s is awesome! 

So check out this issue... It is not the greatest, but it is a ton of fun! 

Detective Comics #27 (1939) - #Comic #Book #Review

This is the first comic to feature, 'Batman'! 

Batman... I mean this character is iconic on the same level as Superman, The Avengers, as well as so many more of the comic books that we grew up enjoying, as well as the movies we still currently love! 

I mean rather it is Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice), Val Kilmer (Top Gun) or even Christian Bale (American Psycho) portraying the, 'Batman', this hero has managed to continue to keep audiences not just entertained, but on the edge of their seats as Batman and his side kicks over the years have taken out such awesome villains as, 'Joker', or, 'The Penguin', etc... 

Christian Bale as, 'The Dark Knight' fighting Heath Ledger as, 'The Joker'!

With that said, if you are like me, the movie maybe amazing, but you always have to go back to the source... I mean I have seen just about everything from, 'The Avengers', and freaking love all of them! But getting to read the first, 'Avengers' comic was just truly awesome! And the same goes for basically all of the rest of the original first issues that I have read! 

And that is part of the reason why I am glad that I have read, 'Detective Comics #27'... A.K.A. 'The first appearance of, 'The Batman'! 

The first adventures of, 'The Batman'! 

That's right folks, before being called just, 'Batman', or, 'The Dark Knight', Bruce Wayne is still a billionaire who lost his family tragically, but in this case his name is, 'The Batman'... 

And in this first adventure of, 'The Batman', his adventure maybe a little bit more simplistic... You see, our hero has tasked himself with uncovering the murderer of a business man, and the conspiracy that surrounds it! 

I will say that I now understand the wacky costumes that, 'The Batman' some times wears through out the decades... 

With that said, I will say that I did enjoy this comic, but if you are looking for one of the more involved comics that the more modern Batman comics generally tend to be... Well then you may not like this comic... but if you want to see where Batman first came from... Then this is definitely one to enjoy!
