Geoff Johns? Is that you?
Secret Wars #1
For those that haven't read it yet, I suggest reading New Avengers #33/Avengers #44 prior to Secret Wars #1. You would be lost the first few pages. Then again, you might be lost throughout the entire issue since there's so much going on.
The Ultimate universe and Earth-616 is on a collision course and a war breaks out. It's about as much as I can say without spoiling anything. I'm definitely on board for this event; I'll probably have to go back to my LCS to add it to my pull list.
And the paper used for the cover? Feels good man.

The current run's a lot of fun. First Ant-Man comic I've read but highly recommended.
read side stories(like world war hulk and ghost racers....) and enjoy the rides

It's great so far. It's very self-aware in a good way and does a good job at connecting you with Scott Lang's life.
As someone who read FF, I still don't understand how Scott went from "badass that defeated Doom" to "loser who is struggling to find a job"

Always was the second. Not hard.
Plus wasnt there something about someone retconning that doom bitchlslappage?

Hey ComicGAF! I'm sort of getting into comics again (used to collect a few spider-man issues when in primary school) and picked up issues 3 + 4 of Spider-Gwen today (issues 1 + 2 are in the post).
I was wondering what comics are kind of "easy reading"/something I can just chill and read? My friend recommended me the Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye series so I'll probably give both of them a try soon. I'm also a sucker for nice artwork but mainly prefer a relaxing/charming vibe
Thanks if you can help!
I saw the covers and instantly knew I needed it

Fantastic Four! Its the GOAT comic.
Hahaha, YES!
Secret Wars was pretty entertaining, I'm not sure
where Cyke got the Phoenix egg from, but I'll take it. I enjoyed Phoenix Cyke in AvX
Since you're sticking to Marvel, yes, Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye are self-contained stories that are easy to start and catch up with. I would also recommend Mark Waid's Daredevil (2011-present).
I suggest getting a Marvel Unlimited sub for a month for free (use promo code ULTRON at checkout): http://marvel.com/ultron
Just make sure you cancel before your sub ends, otherwise, it will auto renew. There's a 6-month delay on new issues but you can start catching up.

So what does the Phoenix Egg do exactly? I think I have a broad understanding of it, but I'm not totally clear on it.
Thanks, I'll check it out!

Hawkeye is definitely a good choice, can't go wrong with that.
For ongoings try:
Ant-Man
Silk
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Gotham Academy
For finished series try:
The Superior Foes of Spider-Man
Power Girl: Power Trip
I see Bii already suggested Daredevil by Mark Waid, that's some top tier reading as well.
A/NA is as much of a "sequel" to F4/FF as Uncanny Avengers is a "sequel" to Uncanny X-Force
you really should read F4/FF first since a lot of Hickman's multiverse ideas start there. Also, its amazing
edit: also screw you guys and your Secret Wars, im gonna read Axis

See people? This is what comes from idolizing Hickman. Your tastes and sensibilities erode away and you start reading Axis.
Deliberately!
Do not stray from the one true Morrison.
They dont. Only Events come with Digital Codes.

I think it's just the OGN's isn't it? Rage of Ultron came with one.
BenjaminBirdie

You sure? Rage had a code. P sure their newest books come with them.
That's lame. For awhile at least, all the Marvel hardcovers had digital codes, guess they stopped doing that.
Yeah, forget OGNs.
OGNs and Events come with digital codes. OHCs of regular series dont come with ine of those.
Edit : At least when we speak about Oversized Books. Regular Asized still have codes.
And yeah, it makes no sense.

From what I've observed:
- premiere (regular) hardcovers come with a digital copy. Like 100% of the time.
- OGNs come with a digital copy.
- oversized hardcovers and omnibuses only come with a digital copy when collecting a recent event. That means Age of Ultron, Avengers vs X-Men, Infinity, Original Sin (?) and Axis (?) had one, Secret Wars II or Infinity Gauntlet didn't and neither did Daredevil, Hawkguy or New Avengers OSHCs.
(The ? are cases where I haven't checked myself but I'm 99% sure they did)
You are right.

Oh yeah, that's from the Ghostrider crossover issue, right, ese?
Also, pretty obviously a play on Momofuku and I hope twitter doesn't get ahold of this one.

The 5 volumes of Uncanny X-Men hardcovers i have all came with digital codes. I though all marvel hardcover trades came with codes and the paperbacks didn't.

I don't really get the Hickman comparisons. I think, like Remender or Kot, that he's his very own thing.
The only two things he really shares with Morrison IMO are his love of making a huge jigsaw falling into place (in a more linear and analytical way than Morrison IMO) and his apparent love of imagination and high concepts (but Hickman is more science oriented) but these are very generic traits.
Still, all these guys are great writers.
