RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Comic Books I think the reason given in GL Rebirth 3 (of 6) that Hal Jordan became Parallax is stupid!

I hit my local comic shop today and decided to cave in on the Rebirth mini and picked up the first 3 issues. Now I sit here reading this and wonder why in the hell I didn't read this before I picked up this stuff. OUCH... I'll still read it though. I'm trying to get into the DC stuff. I'm 5 years into my third stint collecting comics. I never followed DC much in the past. I do love the Flash though. That's a hot title. Superman/Batman is great as well. I guess after reading all the posts here my expectations a lower so who knows maybe I'll enjoy Rebirth. Thanks guys. Question: As a person trying to get into the DCU what would you recomend I pick up? I started to get the new DC Encyclopedia. Good move or bad move?
