Any recommendations for a superhero novice? I get lost on all the numbers/series run. What do I need to know, what's important, etc.? Not a huge fan of the movies but I think I'd enjoy them in comic form way more. I've read a couple of the Justice League and Batman ones in the past, the new 52 serues, since they seemed like a fresh start. Everyone is saying the Vision is good and I love the art on the covers. Is it newbie friendly?
Grabbing up the Star Wars titles for sure.
A couple of questions:
-How's the Ta-Nehisi Coates BP run?
-Is there any recommended/essential tie-in for Secret Wars, or just the main storyline should suffice?
-Are the Darth Vader comics good? If so, any other good* Star Wars comics apart from that one? If not, which comics are good?
-Can you recommend me (apart from Vision) some mostly self-contained stuff from there?
To answer the Secret Wars question (assuming you are asking about the newest Secret War event), the New Avengera rum was pretty essential to it, at least as a prelude. Look for the Volumes that say Avengers: Time Runs Out.
yeah, was talking about the newest Secret Wars. Will keep that in mind, thanks!
Are any of the ones on sale not in Marvel Unlimited worth grabbing?
I mean...I already give them 10 bucks a month lol
Secret Wars is the culmination of Hickman's run on New Avengers & Avengers (two books that take place concurrently)
the whole thing will probably cost you like $25 here and it'll be a steal at that price
Heard good things about the Matt Fraction runs of Iron Fist and Hawkeye so I'm eyeing those.
thanks for the info!
it's an intense, wild ride. very dense with a sprawling scope.Avengers vol 1: Avengers World
New Avengers vol 1: Everything Dies
Avengers vol 2: The Last White Event
Infinity (this books should include Avengers vol 3 & 4)
New Avengers vol 3 Other Worlds
Avengers vol 5: Adapt or Die
Avengers vol 6: Infinite Avengers
New Avengers vol 4: A Perfect World
Avengers: Time Runs Out vol 1-4
Secret Wars

Recommendations on Spider-Man stuff? Is Spider Gwen any good? It looks neat.
-Are the Darth Vader comics good? If so, any other good* Star Wars comics apart from that one? If not, which comics are good?
not a problem - i think the rough order is:
Avengers vol 1: Avengers World
New Avengers vol 1: Everything Dies
Avengers vol 2: The Last White Event
Infinity (this books should include Avengers vol 3 & 4)
New Avengers vol 3 Other Worlds
Avengers vol 5: Adapt or Die
Avengers vol 6: Infinite Avengers
New Avengers vol 4: A Perfect World
Avengers: Time Runs Out vol 1-4
Secret Wars

both are very fun books and benefit greatly from being 100% self contained
Also, to be quite honest, if you are gonna go ahead and read through his Avengers run in order to read Secret Wars, you really ought to go ahead and read Hickman's Fantastic Four/Future Foundation run as well. Secret Wars ties in just as much to that run as it ties into his Avengers/New Avengers run. I would also wholeheartedly recommend his FF run just by itself, it's definitely one of my favorite runs ever.
honestly i would recommend Hickman's Fantastic Four over Avengers/New Avengers.
his FF run is my single favorite comic book run of all time. a work of art, through and through.
Bought vision volume 1. Squirrel girl is worth it? How funny are we talking...?
damn... yeah, looks like I'll have to read through lots of Hickman's stuff, heh.
Thanks everybody!

Filled in the gaps in the new Star Wars titles, got a bunch of 80's/90's Xmen stuff and a few random titles I've had my eyes on.
'Curiosity' purchases included the trades for Ms Marvel. Might get some FF and Vision stuff based on the recommendations here, but I already have a tonne of stuff to read.
Bought series that aren't available on Marvel Unlimited like Alias and Punisher MAX.
Anyone know any other series that aren't available on MU?
Is there a way to buy more than 1 at a time? I only have an option for 1-click for each. Would rather just put a bunch in the basket and checkout 1 time.
I'm still really enjoying Coates' BP run. It's a slow burner but it juggles some interesting ideas.A couple of questions:
-How's the Ta-Nehisi Coates BP run?
-Is there any recommended/essential tie-in for Secret Wars, or just the main storyline should suffice?
-Are the Darth Vader comics good? If so, any other good* Star Wars comics apart from that one? If not, which comics are good?
-Can you recommend me (apart from Vision) some mostly self-contained stuff from there?
Hmm, got an email that I'm eligible for a free Marvel graphic novel Kindle download from a purchase I made.
I'm guessing the discount is applied automatically?
It's the one you get from ordering a physical book, right? Yeah it's applied automatically.
Got all the new canon Star Wars stuff, as well as Vision. Total spent was probably about $30? Good fuckin deal.
Too bad my kindle library is a complete mess now though. Was trying to keep it just books, and comics just on comixology, but his sale was too good to maintain that course.
But you can download these through either kindle app or comiXology? Since amazon bought comiXology.
Yeah I like the comiXology zoom/swipe better on the iPad than the kindle app style.Yes. These all were immediately available to download in Comixology.
Any Thor reccomendations?
Totally forgot about that. Totally getting that.Complete Age of Apocalypse? Yay or nay?
