Alfred will always be number one.
If you've never read anything I'm kind of overwhelmed because it's hard to recommend Marvel if you're just starting. I would normally recommend Uncanny X-Force but I think you'd have more of an appreciation for that if you had a surface knowledge of X-Men history over the past 25 years or so.
How about Hawkeye by Matt Fraction? It's self contained and fairly short. We love it around here.
Then after that if you want to start digging into some big work-you could dive into the deep end and read Inifinity Gauntlet. That was one of the first books I read when I was a kid -there's a lot of characters and it's from 1991 but it's so crazy and epic you can't help but love it.
After that I might recommend Grant Morrison's New X-Men followed up by Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men.

Whoever recommended me Ultimate Spider-Man: thank you very much dude.I just got to MJ breaking up with Peter, sad
It's so amazing to finally read comics since they barely exist here. I currently have Marvel Unlimited so any Marvel comics y'all recommend? I need some variety so I don't burn out on Spidey

I rank Alfred at Zero because without him there really isn't much of a Batman or Batfamily.
Alfred is so essential he is basically a default.
Thanks for the recommendations
I screenshot your post. Any more small self contained stories like the one of Hawkeye you mentioned? I appreciate any feedback LordOfLore

WWAC: Why Sera Matters
Thanks for the recommendations
Jason Aaron is the currrent writer on Thor and it's amazing and you can start thatmoff pretty much without proper knowledge of Thor. This is the reading order that I found-although you can skip the gwenpool and avengers ones:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/vertig...ding-order-for-female-thor/amp/?client=safari
I go for reading order here because Marvel has a tendency to start their series over at #1 every few years and it makes it tough to read a series straight through on Unlimited.

Like already posted, Hawkeye by Matt Fraction is a perfect book for someone like you. It's relatively short and self-contained and easily one of the best runs they've put out. I can't recommend it enough. Fantastic art and strong writing.
Beyond that, some other self-contained series worth looking into:
Daredevil - Pretty much everything is good, but for something more recent you can start with Waid's run which began in 2011. If you want more, you can always go back and read the runs by Miller, Bendis, and Brubaker.
The Superior Foes of Spider-Man - Another short and self-contained story. It's a comedy focused on some of Spider-Man's villains. It's very funny.
The Vision by Tom King - Brief 12 issue series focusing on The Vision and his newly created family. It's very well written and engaging.
I'd also recommend The Immortal Iron Fist, X-Force #116-129 and then X-Statix #1-26. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl too. I know some people don't care for the art, but it's a great comic.
Good choices especially Squirrel Girl. If it clicks with you, it's phenomenal.

Would have been more excited if I heard this before I had read 1602.

Thinking about getting Batgirl Rebirth, what some peoples opinion of it so far?
Also, I forgot who said it, but they were right about the She-Hulk comic. It's been such a tease, and it's even worse since it's only a monthly title.

I gave up around issue 4 as I thought it was pretty bad. Barbara seemed like a complete dumbass and the story was pretty pointless.

Did anyone else see that new Iron Fist clip(with Colleen)? It's...something.
For the ones interested in that BTAS cave.

I dropped Batgirl after issue 6 aka Rafa's last issue. His art was keeping me interested in it for a while. The whole Burnside vibe is getting stale.
Seems to be turning around as soon as she went back to Burnside.

It's Dick at the top of his game. It's not just talk. Win or lose, he will fight them, and he's playing for keeps. That's what makes it badass to me.
Dick's ass will not be censored!
By that logic, Bruce should be on the list as well. It's like saying that you have to put the first Super Mario on a list of top five favorite Super Mario games because technically no other Marios would exist without it.
Astonishing Spider-Man and WolverineThanks for the recommendations
Damn, the hate is real.
Also sad I forgot about Terry. Sadness unto myself.
First arc was forgettable, but I like the first issue of back.to Burnside.
Tim Drake is the worst batman member.

Looks like we were correct in guessing who "Clark Kent" is.
Who else would scream "You ruined my life! You ruined everything!" in the middle of the night right outside the Kent's home.

Nice! Wonder if Allred will put up the Doom Patrol variants he's doing later.
Yeah for like 10k. He charges $850+ for interiors.
that would be amazing

Yes, he's the

glad you didn't. O'Mailey doesn't deserve the support till he comes with a way to tie plot holes in his own book.

Has Miles and MAC even met outside of CWII?
I dunno. Unless Civil War 2 1.
As we have seen in various books the heroes have celebrations we each other quite frequently.
For me the story comes second when buying art. But I understand it's frustrating.
That said. I've never read Xstatix or Dead Girl. I have no idea what is happening in my page or if it's good. But I love dragotta and Allred so I had to jump at the chance. I hope I didn't get a shit page :/

The Old Guard will hopefully improve over the next few issues, as there really isn't anything special going on in its debut
