Apparently, a lot of "mainstream" comic readers enjoy the shit out of Civil War. One of my friends who attended SDCC for the first time this year wanted to get into comics. So he asked one of the booth vendors to recommend him some reading material. What did he get? Civil War 1-7 and Secret Wars 1-4 (2015-). :/
Skip all that Parker crap. Bendis is doing top work with Miles.

I didn't know were to start so I figured why not get some back story, or general knowledge to these movies. Really just the name recognition

That's understandable. Comics aren't nearly as hard to get into as many people think, but knowing where to start can be pretty brutal.

I still haven't read Age of Ultron despite having read most of Marvel's events in the past decade.
Speaking of events, I'm reading 52 (on vol 3)...when does it get better? It's all over the place.

Thanks b. Really loving this stuff so far so I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
I get that dude. Getting into comics can be difficult if you don't know where to start and the names make them seem quality since they got movie titles tied to them.
the best "if Avengers were a movie" book to read is Mark Millar's first Ultimates run, about 24 issues. It's where the Marvel Universe got Samuel L Jackson Fury from but the portrayals of the avengers are a bit different BUT it's a great action story. This is not to be confused with "Ultimate Comics: Ultimates", Millar's relaunch of the series that was not as good.

That's smart. There is some really great stuff out that that only benefits from going in with a little background knowledge. Secret Wars 2015 and Grant Morrison's Batman are both fascinating, but without context a lot of the meat of the story is lost.
I'd say google "Best _____ comics" for whoever your interested in and start from there.

New comic readers LOOOOOVE events. It's something that is completely natural. Right before I got back into comics, I bought Infinity Gauntlet because I was under the assumption that the Avengers would lead to that someday, and I wanted to be ahead of the game.
Now I obsess over shit like Steve Gerber and Whatever. It just takes time to settle in, and unfortunately these shit events like AOA are what get you comfortable.

In 2045, it'll be treated like Crisis on Infinite Earths is in 2015.
I feel exact the different. Have read one Issue of New Avengers and I enjoy the hell out of Secret Wars.

But think of all the money you would have saved!
Seriously though, Hawkeye was what got me back into comics after I took a break because of Secret Invasion. Hawkeye and Saga, really. I'm still quite sad that Hawkeye is over now. We need that Comic Book Club!
Both. I liked Booster Gold's part and everyone else's bore me. I want more Booster Gold.
Imagine what its like after reading all of those issues though. Shit is POPPING OFF.
I cant wait for all Avengers OHC to be released. Will marathon through all 100 Issues on one Weekend.
Maybe ive not even finished SW until then, my Comicshop still refuses to send me my Issues.
The second volume of Avengers doesnt ship until november and then vol 3 ? Marvel really should have gotten this stuff out quicker.
I think with the next Hachette Catalouge we should know dates for the complete run, which should be in the timeframe up to 04/16
I am curious how they will handle Time Runs Out.

Aren't all the first releases of Hickman Avengers hardcover anyway? They're just not oversized.
Time Runs Out will be two OHCs, I'd say. How are they doing Infinity? That's the real question. They surely don't want people to buy the omnibus!
Yeah they are hardcover, but the new hardcovers are 12 issues and oversized. I assumed they would skip infinity and expect people to buy the omni. Its a complete clusterfuck. They should just put infinity in the new hardcovers.
It really makes no sense now. And I kinda hate that I really have to buy the Infinity OHC for 6 Issues now...

Are they going to bother repackaging Time Runs Out? That shit is old news at this point.

They really are messing up the OHC Avengers/New Avengers collections. What a mess. Just awful. I hope that shit is fixed for the omnis. I'd hate to collect it all in tpbs
We saw Ant-Man yesterday, enjoyed it greatly! One of the people with us has very little comic knowledge, and she said she enjoyed it more than most of the Marvel films she watched. It definitely wasn't my favorite, and I personally didn't enjoy it more than AoU, but it was an awesome flick, and definitely shows how the Marvel cinematic universe continues to shine.
I also finally got my Batgirl premium format!! She's gorgeous

That Batgirl is sweet!
Its ok. It started off ok and some things I liked. The crossovers were whatever and made no sense on thier own and i didnt read the other parts but those are probably seperated. The Beginning was ok, tje Cyborg Superman story was ok..I dont remember the in between. The Red Lantern stuff was ok...and the last story was good.

Angsty Kara bothers me sometimes.
It might be me wanting more out of it lol
Nightwing was sort of that way for me and so was Batgirl.
I'll go try to reread them and see.

Seriously they make too much Harley.
I'm not into comics statues but I am into comics-themed shirts. Ordered a HYDRA one online, it should be coming soon. I may hate how badly Red Skull was nerfed from true nazism in the Cap movie but modern Hydra is cool, hail Hydra.
Those Aja Iron Fist designs are still their best look in the comics too.

Yeah, I really did like the Red Lantern / Supergirl crossover. Fun story.
Yeah, I'm usually leery of Premium Formats because sometimes I've seen pics from people who get one in-hand and the face will have turned out awful. Sideshow seems to be pretty hit-or-miss on faces.
Because you will. You can only hold out for so long.

edit:Speaking of figures... I got some new ones coming in this month. I'll have to send pictures of them to Freeza once I get them.
Yep, but those statues keep selling. They just announced two second editions of the harley/joker alex ross statue and the gotham garage pieces. Its crazy.
