Hey everyone!
I used to read comics in middle school and a bit of early high school, but for some reason or another I fell off of them. I decided today would be a good day to hop back on the tracks while looking for some summer reading material.
My local used book store had the Marvel Secret War collection (Secret War 1-5 and From the Files of Nick Fury), so I snatched it up!
Where should I go from here? Continuity? Reboot? etc etc etc.
Happy to be back with the community

Welcome back!
Just pick up some whatever. Can't really go wrong with Spider-Man trades. Maybe try out the Mighty Thor!

Welcome back!
I have a question
What was the last books you read, or what events? Did you have preferences (X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, Daredevil, etc...)
Some things have changed a lot in 17 years!"You don't raise yourself by stepping on somebody else"
Currently looking for a pull list... Does near-mint West Coast Avengers count?

Right now I'm most interested in the "larger universe" narrative, so comics and storylines that connect and tell a larger, universal story.

My “advice”: don’t get back on the current comics treadmill. Don’t get hooked on specific characters, and certainly don’t worry whether a particular comic is issued by Marvel, DC, or some other publisher.
Do a bit of google research on best comic series in last 30 years, get outline descriptions of those “best”series...and concentrate on reading those that interest you.
Let me give one example. The original Ultimate Spider-man run will be just as cheap/ easy to get as current Spider-man comics...and most likely you’ll find it a better read.

I think you'd really enjoy Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers run that ends with the Secret Wars event also by Hickman. Originally Posted by Karpovblanca

Oof... I don't even remember. I've heard that there's New Marvel, or Marvel 2.0, or a summer rerelease going on now. I guess that would be a starting place? I'm going to finish up the Secret War collection I got and look up where the story goes from there too! Originally Posted by Mary Jay
