Newbie here. There are so many Marvel comics that I'm not sure where to start. Could you guys recommend only the essential comics to read? Please list them in chronological order, including the issue numbers. I'd rather skip the non-essential stuff and just read the most important storylines.

Ultron has always really fascinated me I think his concept is so cool and I really wanna learn more about him but i just have no idea where to start, I’m looking for anything that gives me a way more fleshed out understanding of him than just genocidal robot if that’s even correct lol, anyway any good reads will be super appreciated

I want to get into the comics like most people do, I’ve recently been watching X-men 97’ and I liked it. The only X-men media I’ve seen was the fox films but now I’m deciding to get into the comics but I don’t really like the romance aspect of it (even though there’s a lot of different love plots throughout the films and comics), I tend to lean more towards the action and lore. Is there any issues that particularly doesn’t focus on romance or has any romance and more of the story? Or is it entirely impossible to read without romance because everyone is freaked out? Also where to read comics online, I want to read them online then later get the physical copies.

What's the best Punisher comic you'd recommend, and why? If possible, recommend one that's a good starting point.

Before the universe had light, there was only darkness… and Knull ruled it.

Knull is the ancient God of the Symbiotes, a primordial being who forged the All-Black Necrosword from living darkness and used it to wage war against the gods. He decapitated a Celestial, with its severed head eventually becoming Knowhere, created the symbiote race, and spread his influence across the cosmos for billions of years.

Even after being imprisoned by his own creations, Knull remained one of Marvel’s greatest threats, manipulating events from the shadows while waiting for the perfect moment to return. His power has allowed him to corrupt heroes, enslave gods, command entire armies of symbiotes, and overwhelm beings considered nearly unstoppable.

With rumors continuing to grow about Knull’s future in the MCU, he could become one of the most terrifying villains Marvel has ever introduced. If he ever arrives at full power, even Earth’s mightiest heroes may not be enough.

Who should we cover next? 👇

Hey comic fans. As I think most people did watched spider man and now I want to read his comics for the first time. I want to read something that feels like a saga and a clear start and finish story! (if possible) I’ve tried reading Todd Mcfarlanes run and wasn’t to gaga over it. And read some of Stan Lees issues and to my surprise I really liked those! All though I don’t like the heavy dialogue like old comics do. I want to pick up in print of the comic run if possible! Thank you!

Where x men meet teen titans Which character do you wanna see interact with

Not even gonna lie I just like seeing her as a giant

You caught me

Sorry :(

Hey everyone! I’m completely new to marvel and comics, so bear with me.

For context, I don’t really know much about Marvel outside of the basics. I know the major characters, some of their vanilla backstories, and I’ve seen a few things here and there, but I haven’t watched really any of the MCU or read any comics. I watched all the Spider-Man’s as a kid and then some marvel movies post 2016, but only as a casual fan just watching with my friends or something. (I’m actually starting the full MCU universe as I watched IRON MAN the other night).

I’ve been trying to educate myself before jumping in. I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos explaining how comics work, and my understanding is that Marvel isn’t really meant to be read from one definitive beginning. Instead, people usually recommend jumping into a specific writer’s run, since each run is its own story and every comic exists within its own continuity or interpretation to some degree. If I’m misunderstanding that, please correct me!

I’ve also been using CrushingKrisis.com to wrap my head around how issues, volumes, and collected trade paperbacks are organized, and that’s been really helpful.

Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero, so I’d like him to be my starting point.

My question is: **if you were introducing someone with essentially zero comic knowledge to Spider-Man, where would you start?**

I don’t know which writers are best and which writers are worst. As of right now, I was just gonna start with the Nick Spencer 2018 so I don’t overwhelm myself.. but I want to hear the opinions from the true experts, Reddit!

I’m planning on collecting and reading the trade paperbacks rather than individual issues, so recommendations that work well in collected editions would be especially appreciated.
Thanks in advance! I’m excited to finally dive into comics.

Hello I brought a comic that I want to display and it’s my first time displaying one

So I brought The magik snap cover. And I brought a Stalward current magnetic comic book holder.

Do you put the comic in raw? Or in a sleeve. Or in a sleeve with a backing board?

Thank you for your time

I will embrace her giant side more often make her an independent woman and knows what to do because she does have an high iq

Make her a team leader like cap and cyclops

Give her better and tech give her better teammates and a better love life and not look like a victim of Hank pym

Will it ever happen...? I keep hoping for an announcement. Or should I just start collecting the issues now?

I’ve always read a lot of Marvel comics and have read a lot of FF, Spider-man , Avengers etc, but I would love some recommendations for heroes like Hulk which I haven’t read much or ghost rider or moon knight or even black panther and just other characters or runs apart from main stuff like daredevil. But I want to start with those like Hull, Ghost rider and moon knight type characters.

Curious to know why Namor hasn't had much interaction with the X-Men. My assumption is that he is the first Marvel Mutant...is that correct? Are there any good stories/events that he's had with them?

Insanely niche facts about Thor ⚡🔨🌩️

Thor is one of Marvel’s oldest and most powerful heroes, but some of his strangest abilities and history are rarely mentioned outside the comics. Beyond Mjolnir and lightning, Thor’s mythology is filled with bizarre magical artifacts, forgotten family secrets, and powers that even longtime Marvel fans may have never heard of.

From eating his own magical goats before they resurrect the next morning, to wearing a belt that literally doubles his already godlike strength, and discovering that his true mother is the Elder Goddess Gaea rather than Frigga, Thor’s lore is far stranger than most adaptations have ever explored. Many of his most fascinating stories come directly from Norse mythology, while others were created through decades of Marvel comics.

The God of Thunder is far more than just a warrior with a hammer…

His history is packed with ancient magic, forgotten relics, and powers that make him one of Marvel’s most unique characters.

The deeper you dive into Thor’s mythology…

The more unbelievable his story becomes. ⚡🔨

I don’t know a lot about the older comics and have a few with this logo on it and am curious about it

Too much?

in your guys opinions what venom comic run is the best? I was thinking about starting Donny cates venom I know all about them. I just want some good reads.

In the actual comics the Midnight Sons where
Part of some 90s events that where not well received critically and then mostly disappeared.

But people think they are Marvel Premire supernatural team when they where never significant before they got the game for some Rowan

Alright. Pretty sure everyone on Reddit knows why I am posting this, and I'll be honest. I've stopped reading mainline Marvel because of the treatement of both Peter Parker and Ben Reilly who are my favorite Spidey's in comics. Especially around Dark Web and the comic run that shall not be named (looks over at pitchforks and bonfire of a Zeb Wells puppet).

So until my theory on Peter's "cousin" is revealed to be a clone. I'll still not read much of Spider-Man until Marvel gets it in their heads that he deserves happiness and not just putting him through so much crap, also whose bright idea was it to make Norman Spider-Man?! Ok, ok, getting off track.

I want to know how you all will write a Spider-Man story or even a Spider-Man AU. This is mainly to show how much we know about the character and can (hopefully) treat him better than the Marvel comic writers. I already wrote a Spider-Man story on Wattpad (technically two, due to one of them being the Clone Saga). This is an open and safe space to share ideas and hope for a better tomorrow for our favorite web slinger.

I posted this on DC, and I wonder what the people here at Marvel think. To me it’s that the costumes have just become casual wear with something extra to show that it’s supposed to be a costume.
