New comic book series to start?

[losttrigger]

I'm new to this site so I'm not sure if this is in the right section (I'm sorry if this is the wrong section) also this question isn't just for marvel.

I've only ever read manga mostly because I like the art style a lot better but I also enjoy the characters/stories more. I'm not sure if this is important but it might help with finding a comic to read. I get all my comic book knowledge from movies/shows/youtube videos/wiki. I want to start reading comic books but I don't know where to start. Was thinking about Thor because I like the history and mythology but most of his stories is from 60 or so years ago and I'm not sure how the quality is.

I'm fine with any character(must have some super power) with a good story but I would prefer it if it is a recent comic/issue, but I can get over this if I have to. Thought about the new 52's but I hear there horrible haha but what do I know.

Don't believe the New 52 hate. There are plenty of great stories to be read in the New 52. I'd recommend Batman (no superpowers but....its batman), The Flash, Action Comics, Green Lantern, Justice League, Justice League Dark, and Aquaman.

Marvel NOW is also a good place to start. Avengers, New Avengers, Iron Man, Thor God of Thunder, Indestructible Hulk, Captain America, Uncanny Avengers, Uncanny X-Men, Nova, and maybe some Spider-Man are all good.

I'm no expert on this subject but these are just some stories I enjoyed when I first started reading comics.

The current Ms. Marvel. It's actually got a bit of a manga tone to it.

It is spin off Avengers book, Avengers just with different characters.

There are a lot of new #1s starting during Secret Wars but they may not continue once the mini ends.

Personally my favorites have been (in order): Master of Kung Fu, Infinity Gauntlet, and Where Monsters Dwell.

Hi i'm into manga more to and let me tell you reading marvel and DC may not the best idea, there so many thing going on that you will have no idea what going with all that events and spin offs.
in other hand DC and Marvel ar small part of what comic books are, IDW Boom dynamite and others comic poplshers gave better stand alon titles, marvel and DC more like a world building it fun as much as you gave it time to know every thing going on in it, the good thing about marvel universe that it have strong Continuity from the 60's that will new end .

these few titles that dosn't need to know any thing and stand alon titles . it take in mind you like things like thor
John Carter
Red Sonja
Conan the Avenger
Usagi Yojimbo (Older but you will like it)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (not the animation)
Fables
Y - The Last Man
Transmetropolitan
