Finally got my buddy to read comics the right way

Tbh, I used to just hand him random #1 issues, but he'd get lost and quit. Last month, I gave him the whole 'Batman: The Long Halloween' trade paperback instead. He finished it in a weekend and now he's asking me for more Gotham stories. Anyone else have a go-to book for turning someone into a fan?

Oh yeah, @nina_hall totally nailed it with the whole "it's just comics" thing. But man, The Long Halloween is like the gateway drug for Batman fans, I swear. My buddy got hooked on it and now he's sending me theories about who Hush really is at 2am like it's a job.

Tried that with my friend and Watchmen. She was totally confused by the single issues, but gave her the whole graphic novel and she wouldn't stop talking about it for weeks.

It's just comics, not a life-changing event.
