I will say, one of the really neat things about comic fandom is having friends who all are completely obsessed with different parts of the universe. Someone is really into the Batfamily and someone loves Wonder Woman, and a particularly masochistic person has kept up with everything editorial has done to Billy Batson--
It's lovely because while I'd LIKE to read everything, ain't nobody got that kind of time, and it's nice to have pocket experts to point you in the right directions, especially when you want to write something that really leans into the greater worldbuilding but really can't read though 100+ issues to find a scan for a weird niche interaction.
Friends kind of slap tbh. Maybe fandom is supposed to be a social thing?
