Hey everyone. I posted in one of these threads a while back about getting back into comic book reading, and the recommendations I got were actually really helpful, so thanks for that! At the time I mentioned that I was leaning more towards Vertigo-like comics, but with everyone talking about Batman I ended up going back and picking the series up, and I'm actually enjoying it. I haven't branched out into all the other Bat-family comics yet, but my interest in cape-style comics has been re-piqued.
I'm interested in picking up some Marvel comics, but I'm not sure where to jump on. I'd like to start reading Iron Man, has that just had a re-launch or something? I saw there was an Iron Man #7 or something released recently so would it be worth starting at the beginning of this run? Also I probably would have said I'd be interested in Spider-Man too but I have no idea whether the current storyline that's going on is ridiculous and should be avoided or not. Also I've heard a lot about the Ultimate line of comics, should I pick up some trades for those?
Thanks again for any recommendations/suggestions. I think the reason I've always stuck with things like Fables/Saga/Y: The Last Man/Ex Machina is that there's a very definite start point, whereas with the capes there are a bunch of different books for each character and some are hundreds into the story, just don't know which to pick out.
