Started reading the essential Marvel order listed on https://cmro.travis-starnes.com/esse...ge=1&limit=100 and thought to make a thread in case anyone else felt like following along. These were the first 15 I read:

November 1961 - Fantastic Four (1961) #1

January 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #2

January 1962 - Tales to Astonish (1958) #27

March 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #3

May 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #4

May 1962 - Incredible Hulk (1962) #1

July 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #5

August 1962 - Amazing Fantasy (1962) #15

August 1962 - Journey into Mystery (1952) #83

September 1962 - Journey into Mystery (1952) #84

September 1962 - Tales to Astonish (1958) #35

October 1962 - Journey into Mystery (1952) #85

November 1962 - Strange Tales (1951) #102

November 1962 - Fantastic Four (1961) #8

December 1962 - Tales to Astonish (1958) #38

The biggest highlight for me was probably seeing the Fantastic Four attempting to stop Namor from destroying all of New York in Fantastic Four #4:
