>>149007160 (OP)Honestly just read Geoff johns, Jeff Parker, Dan Abnett (skip bunn). That’s the better part of a decade and it’s extremely good.
Busiek did some good work on the character and PAD’s work, despite being EXTREMELY overrated, is good to revisit after reading everything else I said. If you’re trying to get in to the character it makes no sense to read his run first. Maybe go PAD then Busiek for chronology but there’s a bunch of shit in between that makes it all but completely separate.
