So ... I'm a young french guy. Sorry, if I don't speak English correctly, I'm just 15 years old and English isn't speaking a lot in France.
I debute comics with the new editor of DC Comics, Vertigo and a part of indies comics Urban Comics since 2011. Indeed, in France, before 2011, there was Panini Comics the european editor of Marvel and sometimes DC (depends of the country) which published the DC catalogue, but there was a bad thing, something like twenty comics of DC was published since the debut of the 21st century ! In 2011, DC Comics choose a new editor because Panini prefer edited Marvel (which is the most popular comics in France because DC wasn't published a lot and the Mavel Cinematic Universe don't encourage Panini to publish DC Comics), Media Participation get the DC Comics licence for France and create a new editor especially for his comics catalogue : Urban Comics. Since 2011, Urban or "UC" publish every month DC's Comics in library (just hardcover no softcover) and in the "presse" with magazines which regrup 5 or 6 issues each for 5 € 60 unite (verry economic !), at the beginning there was three magazines DC Saga (Justice League + Flash + Superman + Supergirl and after Justice League Dark), Green Lantern Saga (Green Lantern + Green Lantern Corps + Green Lantern : New Guardians + Red Lanterns and after Earth-2) and Batman Saga (Batman + Detective Comics + Batman & Robin + Batgirl) and now, there is, after the end of DC Saga, Justice League Saga (Justice League + Justice League of America + Justice League Dark + Flash + Green Arrow with Lemire debut and after Earth-2), Superman Saga (Superman + Supergirl + Superman Unchained + Batman/Superman + Action Comics + Superman/Wonder Woman), the all new trimestrial magazine "DC Saga Présente ..." (with complete story-arcs New 52 and before New 52), always Batman Saga and Green Lantern Saga, but Green Lantern Saga become trimestrial at his 30th because isn't work in France and it keep Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps but exit Red Lanterns and New Guardians ...
So, you understand, I'm a DC fanboy. Urban Comics work well and I can read a lot of issues nine months after its publicashion in America. I read Justice League Saga, Superman Saga, Green Lantern Saga and "DC Saga Présente ..." with its "Hors-série". I read the "Hors-série" of Batman Saga too even if I don't read Batman Saga because I read Batman and Batman & Robin in library. I read, in library, Aquaman, Nightwing too ! And I read some titles and series before the New 52 like because Urban Comics work well and have a lot of good collection ("DC Essentiels" for Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns and stuff; "DC Signatures" for the run of an author on an universe like Grant Morrison on Batman, Geoff Johns on Green Lantern and stuff; and a looooooooooot of other things like "DC Anthologie" which inspired DC Comics for his "Anniversary of 75").
