first ever MARVEL comic I read was Vengeance of the Moon Knight ( 2010 ). Instantly solidified him as my favorite character in fiction. It was gritty, it was funny, it felt like a comic. Had nice appearances from Spider-Man, Deadpool, and Captain America.

I’m impressed with not only these excellent choices but with the manner in which you clearly/concisely construct your reasoning. You know your stuff!

[declanhamill]

X-Men: Chris Claremont’s Run or Joss Whedon’s Run
Fantastic Four: John Byrne’s Run or Mark Waid’s Run
Avengers: Kurt Busiek’s Run
Spider-Man: Ultimate Spider-Man or or Roger Stern’s Run
Captain America: Ed Brubaker’s Run
Iron Man: Matt Fraction’s Run
Thor: Walt Simonson’s Run or Jason Aaron’s Run
Hulk: Peter David’s Run or Planet Hulk
Daredevil: Frank Miller’s Run or Chip Zdarsky’s Run
Wolverine: Larry Hama’s Run or All-New Wolverine

Other Good Jumping on Points:
- Black Widow by Mark Waid
- Vision by Tom King
- Hawkeye by Matt Fraction
- Immortal Iron Fist by Matt Fraction & Ed Brubaker

New Avengers by Bendis is necessary to understand the events happening in Young Avengers since their are plot points in Bendis run that connects with Young Avengers. So I always recomment New Avengers by Bendis as another new reader friendly book to start.

I started getting into Marvel comics over this summer, and the first one I read was Mark Waid’s Fantastic Four run since I didn’t want to watch any of the movies. It was perfect for a beginner, and was a ton of fun!

as a manga reader reading left to right feels so weird

THANK U ! i was trying to start reading for the last 2 year (give or take) and everything I started wasn’t for me, i tried all of this comic books and every one of them was amazing, thank u for helping me get started with this amazing universe ❤️

“Wolverines hairy, just the way I like him” 🤣🤣

Cracked me up that.

Astonishing X-Men is great. New X-Men is good too. But the current House of X/Power of X/ Dawn of X is a perfect place to start too. Not sure about them, give it a try, may just make you want to find out about the past stories.
My Advice, never be too worried about just jumping into a book. Every book is some one's first. Don't let it discourage you from trying something that looks interesting to you.

[matthewsmithson]

Love this video! Great choices here, especially Ultimate Spider-Man and Captain America. Definitely gonna check out Astonishing X-Men, plus Deadpool & Cable (once the omnis are available) as the mutant side of Marvel is an area I’ve neglected. Your Daredevil suggestion has been on my wish list for ages too

I used to read quite a lot of Marvel Comics back in my local library before i started buying them physically, digitally and also adapted from prose novels. The first one I ever read was "Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars" (1984) and then after that a random selection from stand-alone series, crossover events, team-ups and non-canons/alternate universes. It's safe to say this was also my first cross-over event that was filled lot of beloved characters in one place and the first time Spider-Man got the Symbiote suit, which I got me hooked after watching the version from 90's Spider-Man animated series. I still own the prose novel version of Secret Wars (1984) as I still read this amazing story time and time again. Furthermore, usually or sometimes when I'm reading Marvel Comics I don't mind what orders I read it in because I can come back to them in later stage and read them again.

[tigertemprr]

I'd love to see a real omnibus collection for Fraction's entire Iron Man run. That char is already pretty bare for quality stories.

[codyweaver]

Steve Dillion art made me get into comics. Bullseye vs. Daredevil was my first full series.

[reef]

I used to read random comics I got, but I've been reading for the past week and im reading every daredevil book I can find. Like he's just a great character.

[nicholasbryant]

Hey I've been reading some guardians of the Galaxy stuff. But I recently been having a growing interest Captain America. Trying to make em mesh together .

[FallenArchange-l]

I've been an average marvel fan like watching classics like spiderman, hulk, iron man etc..Been a fan of marvel movies since i was a kid but i never went too deep in the lore and i have some days off from my school so i wanted to start reading comics, yk from the 90's to current if i had to.

So i wanted to know where to start from! I read manga and what not so reading right is gonna be hard.

[TevyaSmolka]

I love young avengers such a great team and tons of fun. :)

[Havok]

Hell yea I agree with these starters 😁. Theres nothing better then good reads.

[jabezcreed]

I'm not a heavy reader of Marvel comics, but I second the recommendation for the first part of Jason Aaron's Thor.
