I have never read comic books until the last month in which I read the Invincible Series(by Robert Kirkman) because I wasn’t patient enough to wait for the show lol. After that, I’ve read a few more Graphic Novels, and now I’ll try venturing in the marvel comics, but there are so many, and I don’t know how to start, what to read, what not to read, order of reading, idk, I just really need some help. I’m in the final stretch of the The Walking Dead Series, and would love to, after finishing it, dive right the way into the marvel comics.
Pick a character, grab the most recent issue and start reading. As you are reading there may be an * and it will say what that references. Check out that issue if you are lost. Otherwise keep reading. If you like the character, read more. If not, find someone else.
I started reading comics with whatever the trucker my dad knew gave me when he got back from a long trip. It was mostly obscure stuff, sometimes I would get 5 issues in a row, others there would be gaps.
Then a friend started introducing me to X-Men and X-Force. I read all that was current, all the tie ins, and then started reading the older stuff. And adding new characters to what I read.
There are lots of online resources if you truely are lost and want to know what is happening.
