You'll want to look into Marvel Unlimited. It's an awful service in terms of QoL and image quality, but all those books for 10 bucks a month is nothing to sneeze at.

Hi Comic Gaf, i need your help! I have a insane long trip soon and i want to read some comics during it but i have no idea where to start. I'd like a complete story of Spiderman, Gaurdians Of The Galaxy or The Avengers. One where i don't need to know much about the characters backstory if that's possible. I've never read anything Marvel before so i figured i should finally give it a go
If you want marvel I would recommend a couple self contained arcs, runs, etc
- Fractions Hawkeye run -23 issues long
- whedons Astonishing X-men -24 issues Long
- Ellis's Nextwave - 12 glorious issues

Hey! Guardians of the Galaxy is a really nice place to start, because it's universally accepted that the best place to look is Guardians of the Galaxy by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. This is what revived guardians, and from my pov is the definitive version of the characters. You can pick up volumes 1-4 of their run on Comixology for about $10 a piece. All in all its something like 25 issues.

Caught right up to post Captain America Reborn on Brubaker's run. Why is this so good? Why did Marvel kill off the Red Skull in the very first Cap movie???
Fixed. The entire thing is a mess lol

I prefer Bendis run tbh.

Haha yea. It's worth it for the value it brings but everything about it could easily be improved if they put one once of effort into it.
So are you gonna recommend it?

Of Guardians? You so cray, Messi. You prefer Sara Pichelli Gamora. But the Abnett / Lanning run on Guardians was far superior to the Bendis run. Just for Mantis alone.

I'm still secretly hoping there's an entire run of Steve Rogers - Unemployed somewhere down the line. He retired as Captain America for 1 issue before quickly putting the suit back on to assist Black Panther. He quit as he wanted to be a normal Joe and love Agent Carter without fear of Hydra and friends coming after him, it was a fun idea - even if he did just sit around in his wifebeater watching TV.
I also had a dream last night that I was a bystander living in New York indirectly experiencing all the crap that's happened there since the dawn of heroes. I should turn that dream into a comic.

I don't recommend books anymore. I am only gonna say I enjoyed/continue to enjoy it.

Man, why did Marvel have to plug Captain Marvel into their upcoming shitty Minority Report event? They could have used someone that nobody cares about, like Nick Fury.
The only comicgaf person dead so far is Noray. The other death is FreshVeggie but hes mostly a steamgaf dude.
Zombine has been on deaths door a million times, but somehow never dies. Im still missing most of you anyway because I only have a short roster. Dont worry, im sure you will all die horribly soon enough

If you have a chance, try reading this before that Complete Collection volume 1. Just $5 and shows you how the new team was formed.

Midnighter should be able to easily solo the Squad.

What's the Squad's lineup these days, anyway? It's been a while since I last checked, but wasn't Reverse Flash on the Squad...?
Beats me, but the fight computer in his brain trumps all

guessing their next stop is 1940/50's?
I was hoping for some Rebirth news today. This month seems to be an onslaught of DC announcements.
I'd wager Rebirth news will come in February right around when May solicits drop to explain all those FINAL ISSUE solicitations

It is pretty OP, but I do feel like Reverse Flash would be able to take him.

PreN52 Wally or Reverse Flash could take him, but nah to Daniel West
Paul Cornell did a book for Vertigo called Saucer Country that was about alien abductions. I think I'm the only one here who read it.
Carol Corps wanted Marvel to push her so...
WWE Logic!
Also, AN Inhumans continues to be badass and Swain, y'all sleeping on Swain brahs.
Will. Give it a look, surprised there isn't a Xfiles or fringe like series at Image.
IDW publishes/published an actual X-Files comic, I have no idea about its quality though.
