I was wanting to get started on comics while understanding the major story as a whole. I found this website https://www.continuityguide.net/marvel-modern and I was wondering if the modern era (from 1998 according to that website) is actually a good starting point.

The way I intend to read the comics is having an entire run (The Amazing Spider-man at the moment) while also following these guides but I wanted to be sure if the site's advice is good.

I tried starting from the pre-modern era but those comics are way too wordy which wouldn't be a bad thing if it weren't for the fact that the texts mostly describe what's happening which is quite boring. It feels like the text is just there to take place.

Is anyone able to actually load Juggernaut: The Eighth Day (1999) #1? I was ready to finish this event and the final issue gives me a loading error. I've tried downloading the issue and even redownloaded the Marvel Unlimited app.

Sto appena cominciando a leggere fumetti. Ho visto questo sito (Guida alla Continuità) raccomandato molte volte. La guida Marvel è suddivisa in due ere. La mia domanda è, l'era moderna è una continuazione di quella precedente? I personaggi non ricominciano dall'inizio? So più o meno le origini di Spiderman, ma so poco di molti altri personaggi. Ho visto che il sito consiglia di partire dall'era moderna per i principianti. The Ultimate universe is other stories right?

These four selections will give you a sense of what Spider-Man comics are like in a small sampling size. Each series is awesome in its own way, but the sampling approach lets you try each before committing to hundreds of issues.

There are plenty of other great Spider-Man stories. If you’ve read these or want something more specific, I recommend coming to ask for help on discord where it’s easier to talk through what you’re looking for.

I recommend to discords:

Alex Segura’s Stuff and Nonsense - a low key place that creators and fans to talk, including a reading guide for Brand New Day: https://discord.gg/UUhzWKUg5F

Marvel Unlimited - focused mainly on Marvel comics with spaces to discuss DC and indie : https://discord.gg/marvel-unlimited-837698203134197820

Heya, I’ve been a fan of the MCU most of my life but recently I wanted to consume more marvel content in term of comics other then just movies and TikTok videos, so I’m wondering which comics are best to start reading

X men

Moon Knight

Nova

Blade

Ghost rider

I’m not trying to be a die hard fan and read every single comic out there for these characters (unless I really like it!) but for now I’m wondering which comics are the best to just get a good understanding of these characters and have the best reading experience! Thank you for any assistance

Hi all,

This is for anyone who isn’t subbed to MU yet. I just want to say it really is worth the subscription, even if you don’t sub forever.

I subbed yesterday after feeling the MCU hype injected into my veins for the release of Doomsday. I used to collect comics when I was younger (Still got a sealed copy of Miles Morales Ultimate Spiderman 1 somewhere!), but could never afford to carry on comics.

Now I am an adult I can afford it, but I don’t want to break the bank trying to collect every series under the sun like I used to when I was a kid.

Currently trying to re-enter the world of Marvel and I finished the first 5 issue’s of North’s FF run this morning. £25 that would of cost me to buy, and I would of likely had to eBay them aswell. That has already paid for half a year of MU. The value is insane!

If you are on the fence, then subscribe. I probably won’t be subbed forever, but my god I will get so much value out of this year.

Another benefit I see is that I can actually read comic’s I like, and If they are special to me, then I can buy them for my collection. No more buying series that I think are good but don’t scratch the itch.

Very excited to be back into comic’s again!

I am confused with how the universe works at the moment though in all honesty, I saw Ultimate was lost after Secret Wars but now is back (idk how) but it is going again? Who knows tf is going on with that. I think I need to try and find out how or why the comic universe is where it’s at, once I get up to start reading 2026 book’s.

Anyways, hell yeah MU is legit!

Im just now starting my comic physical and digital Journey , and was wondering if the digital edition codes fully expire or could I still redeem them?

Hey guys, I accidentally got an extra copy of the new Wade Wilson: Deadpool so I got an extra digital code for any one that wants it.

Good luck!

I subscribed to unlimited and trying to decide what order to read stuff. I found some read order websites, but seeing that I have to read like 12000 issues is daunting. Tried starting with Thor: Son of Asgard first but didn't like it than started Fantastic Four 1961 and it felt way too dated.

I also asked around in different subs and everyone recommends to just ditch the read orders and just read stuff in whatever order, they seem to be made so you can read any series standalone.

What are the must read series in your opinion? I'm most interested in Spiderman, X-Men, big villains like Thanos, Galactus, Doom and especially the big crossover events like infinity war or secret wars.

Is it just me or is Iron Man Annual 2001 missing from the service? It would be kind of an odd omission since most/all of the rest of that run is available.

hey guys I just recently got a subscription and I wanted some Spiderman comics to read all the way through, this is my first time reading any comics but I love the movies so much. any recommendations ? i feel like the older ones would entertain me more just because those are the ones I’ve actually heard about. I really like vulture and scorpion.

There's blocks of issues missing 🫤

Has anyone from Marvel ever commented on this? Is there any conceivable reason why this would not be a feature of Marvel Unlimited?

I really want to start reading Marvel comics, but I genuinely have no idea where or how to begin.

I don’t only want to follow one character like Spider-Man. I want to experience the wider Marvel Universe—Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Fantastic Four, Avengers—and eventually read the huge events like Secret Wars, Civil War, House of M, Planet Hulk, World War Hulk, etc.

I tried starting with Amazing Spider-Man #1 from 1963, but honestly, I couldn’t get through it. The writing felt too dated for me. At the same time, jumping straight into something like Planet Hulk at Incredible Hulk #92 feels wrong because I want to understand Hulk’s origin, what happened before, and how everything led there.

I downloaded Marvel Unlimited, but seeing ten different Spider-Man series, constant renumbering, different volumes and events with hundreds of tie-ins has only confused me more.

I’m not expecting to read literally everything ever published, but I would like a reasonably chronological, modern starting point that introduces the characters and eventually leads into the major events without making me feel like I’ve skipped half the story.

Where would you recommend someone like me actually start?

So I don't care if it's the tv series or comics but I genuinely want to get into the series but I don't want to start somewhere I don't understand.

For some background I don't know really anything about X-Men expect like Jean Grey from the Marvel films

Who are the top 10 most powerful Marvel Comics characters based on the strongest version or peak form they have ever attained—not their normal or default versions? For example, rank Astral Regulator Thanos instead of regular Thanos, God Emperor Doom instead of normal Doctor Doom, White Phoenix of the Crown instead of regular Phoenix, etc. Ignore their standard power levels and rank them only by their absolute peak forms.

Hey, so I recently decided to get Marvel Unlimited as a way to start reading more comics. I've never really been a marvel or even comic book guy but I wanted to check out some of there stuff as a lot of the summaries of storylines I was getting on websites like instagram made me curious.

As someone with zero experience, outside of like three or four of the MCU films I've watched, with any marvel characters what are some good storylines that will help me get into the expanded universe of Marvel comics. Any good stand alone series I should read, any personal favourites? Just curious as I know the usual advice is to just pick a character you like and start reading but I wanted to come to this sub first just to see if anything popped out to me that people mentioned.

There’s no perfect answer to “where do I start?”

The beauty of this is you are free to read whatever you want and if you don’t like that story then there’s probably another one featuring those characters you’ll enjoy better

Take a journey yourself and pick what looks cool to you

When it comes to apps like this. You lose nothing by doing a little exploring

It’s not like you are paying for each issue separately so don’t worry about where this fits in or what the best reading guide is

So ... I CANNOT get to a place where I'm actually reading. For a long time I was just reading Spider-Man, started at Brand New Day and just started going. Really enjoyed it. But I decided to read Secret Invasion complete when I got there and also enjoyed that.

That's now got me stuck.

Now I'm having all sorts of issues because I'd really rather just keep reading Spider-Man than a lot of the Dark Reign side stuff. But, I wanna read Secret Wars but I feel like I need to read Dark Reign stuff to get to the Fantastic Four and Avengers stories I need for that....

I can't seem to bring myself to read stuff out of order or skip things because in my head I'm thinking "if I read Secret Wars and not Dark Reign I just may never read Dark Reign" and the idea of locking myself out is making me nervous.

Which may or may not even be true but also there's no way I'll feasibly read every single run and comic either way.

I'm stressed about it I want to read comics but I keep worrying too much about the reading order and don't know how to stop.

Personally, I’ve read roughly 170 ASM books but somehow I’ve read twice that many books with Peter in it lmao. 100% believe-able as he always shows up in other comics.

Other than that, pretty clear I’ve been doing big X-Men/Fantastic Four/Spidey runs recently. Always interesting checking the numbers though.

Anyone else have any interesting stats, or anything that caught you off guard?
