It's not Marvel's fault if this is actually a difficult thing for you or for anyone, for that matter.
If you want to read Peter Parker, read Peter Parker. He's in Amazing Spider-Man, just like always.
If you want to read Miles Morales, pick up Spider-Man. It's pretty easy to tell these books apart.
Did people complain in the '80s that they had no idea how to jump onto Spider-Man because there was Amazing, Spectacular, Web, and Marvel Tales? I mean, really - how are people supposed to know where to start with one character featured in four books? Which one is the most important? Can I buy just one book or do I have to buy all of 'em? It's impossible to know what to do!
And deciding which X-Men team has the cast and concept that most appeals to you is a problem? Boy, how did fans ever manage to figure this out back in the '80s and '90s?
As been's said, any comic shop will have staff members who can easily answer simple questions like "Hey, where do I start with Spider-Man?"
Failing that, a quick internet search would provide the same info in minutes.
Some fans want to act as though there's some insurmountable challenge in jumping into comics when it's actually easier than ever.
