There are a few series and I have no idea which to read. JL, JL3000 ect ect.
Did Korupt give his opinion on the beginning of it? I like to own whole runs.

Sure did, and I can only imagine that mental fuckery it caused both Bee and Momo. Infiltration vs. Bee was by far the best match of EVO though. That one had me shaking a little after it was done and over with lol.

Yep. That's the one Gail Simone is using in Secret Six. Pretty good so far.
It's no wonder this hobby is so intimidating to newcomers. DC just relaunched their line-up, meaning it's the perfect time to jump in! If you're interested in Superman then just pick up Action Comics #1 - sorry, it's actually Action Comics #41. If you're a bit lost, then all you need to do is pick up Superman #41, which was released after Action Comics #41 but actually comes first in the story. And if you thought that you would just have to read the two Superman ongoings to jump into the character then think again. Next up in the first arc of Superman's newest jumping in point is Superman/Wonder Woman #18 and Superman/Batman #21, which fit in somewhere in the timeline that I couldn't even be bothered to look up. It's never been easier to get into DC (so long as you have a reading guide handy), so have fun!

I hear JL starts off kinda eh but improves over time. I like Geoff Johns so I like what I've read (current arc and the Shazam back up). I think you'd probably like it at least based off of what I have read but I really can't comment on beyond that.
JLA just started but I remember Korupt and ElNarez (I believe) posting positively about it. Only two issues in so you could always try it out if you're curious.
Actually, while Action, Superman, S/B and S/WW share a status quo, they're four distinct stories, and it's very clear that the story in Superman takes place first.
But, you tried.
actually, the second issue of Hitch's JLA is veering off into Bad Cliché territory, with Batman being like arrrgh grarrrrgh this guy who's healing everyone on earth is also healing the criminal scum and why is that they should not be healed or cared for because my parents are dead, and it's still acting as if it's gonna be a huge twist when said benevolent god will turn out to be evil.
but he still draws the shit out of it.
Really? I believe you because I clearly haven't read any of them, but from what I can tell DC is marketing like these are all connected tales. The description for each issue on Comixology says something like "the next chapter in Truth is here!", and seeing that description across multiple series put me off of getting into ongoing Superman comics at a time that I was intending to do just that.

Honestly, I don't know what's going on in them these days, but JLA 2013 was the most bearable at the start, though not by much. JL was bumpy as heck to start and wasn't very good imo; though, as has been mentioned, it seems to have improved. Dark was my favorite when the Nu52 launched and Lemire had a great stretch on it.
Barring that, I don't know jack about 3000 or United.

3000/3001 are great. Read it. It takes place in the far-future with a team that was cloned using the DNA of the original team.

That's a lot of books.
Outside of Rai, I feel like the only things I might be interested in are X-O and Unity.
What's Armor Hunters all about?
Coriolanus
Banned
Action: X-O Manowar
Action with extra murder: Bloodshot
Humor + Occult: Archer & Armstrong
Filthy muties: Harbinger
Loser Ninjas: Ninjak
from what i've seen, anyway. Still got a lot to see.
Hunters hunting armors.
Easy way to eliminate the weekend's excesses. Became a habit some five months ago.
you could def stick to X-O and Unity if you want. both are super dope.
haven't gotten to Armor Hunters yet
Caution: I redeemed 12 or so Marvel Digital codes and it all went through okay until i tried to download something from comixology and i checked back at the final success page and it showed only 10 of 12 books as being redeemed. Going back and redeeming the other two again worked, but it was odd and i frowned for a second. When i entered the codes, the books showed up fine too.
It's only been like 4 issues lol

So, the "main" books are in the first two categories. The flagship titles are X-O Manowar and Unity, though you could probably argue that Harbinger -> Imperium is one title on its own and has been running just as long using that logic. It at least encompasses a good portion of the universe going-ons.
Completed:
Harbinger
Archer & Armstrong
Bloodshot
Shadowman
(trash tier)
Ongoing:
X-O Manowar
Ivar, Timewalker
Imperium (sequel to Harbinger: Omegas)
Bloodshot: Reborn (sequel to Bloodshot & The Valiant)
Rai (hiatus)
Unity (sequel to X-O Manowar)
Ninjak
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I added these to hopefully dispel some confusion.
Miniseries:
Divinity
The Death-Defying Dr. Mirage
Harbinger: Omegas (sequel to Harbinger)
Archer & Armstrong: The One Percent (sequel to A&A)
Eternal Warrior
Eternal Warrior: Days of Steel (sequel to Eternal Warrior)
Quantum & Woody Must Die (sequel to Quantum & Woody)
The Delinquents (sequel to A&A:TOP + Q&WMD)
Events:
Harbinger Wars (Bloodshot + Harbinger)
Armor Hunters (X-O Manowar + Unity + Bloodshot + Harbinger)
The Valiant
Book of Death

One of these days i'll get around to sending Valiant an email suggesting that they start using "cut ninjak some slack" as a catchphrase.

Preacher has moments of excellence insterspersed with moments of "dear god, why the fuck did they let Ennis run wild?". It's a worthy, if highly irregular, read.
More humorous and faaar meaner than sandman, mind. Nowhere near as imaginative or well written.

The Beard Hunter is the GOAT issue. I don't even know where to go from here.
I've heard Preacher is good. Here's a guide to the collected editions. 6 Books in the new printing collection.
You may want to try instocktrades. They do ship international, but I'm not sure how much more that would cost; I know Messi orders from there occasionally. Otherwise, I think Brazil may be kind of a unique scenario.
