So how I into comics?

Not just today's stuff but also the old stories. I'm not really fussed with owning a physical copy; is there somewhere online where I can read from say Issue #1 of whatever onward? Marvel or DC, either one or both is fine.

I use Comixology. They have mostly newer and current stuff, but they're adding more and more classics.

Comixology, Marvel Unlimited, Read DC Entertainment, torrents, viewcomic.com

Also what do you like?
Your question is like walking into a bookstore and asking them to get you started on reading
>>
>>80647578
The usual mainstream Spiderman, Batman, X-Men etc
>>
You don't start with #1s, start with "graphic novel" (limited series) and landmark writers (Morrison's Justice League, Miller Daredevil, Johns Lantern...)
>>
You read everything /co/ tells you to read.
>>
>>80647604
>Batman
Year One
Long Halloween
TDKR

Those are your starting 3.

I am a total noob so I'm not exactly sure how continuity works in comics.
>>
Well, it's easier to start with Marvel since there's Marvel Unlimited meaning you can read a lot of runs for just $10 a month. If you're okay with pirating then just pick a character, then ask for which run to start on and that's it. There are tons of recommendations online. There's also the /co/ recommended tumblr page but it's barely updated and you're probably better off just asking for new ones here.
>>
>>80647327
Torrents are your friend, you can usually find entire collections on kickass
>>
>>80647694
All right, how about Spider-Man?
>>
>>80647655
Long story short, it doesn't. If there's prior knowledge needed, the writer will provably explain on a need to know basis, tho you as a writer also need to keep an open minded "take it as it comes" approach that's unique to american superhero comics. No one expects you to read 800+ Detective Comics and 600+ Batman comics. What superheroes are you interested in? Name 3 or so.
>>
>>80647741
Start with Ditko/lee amazing spider-man.
>>
>>80647741
OG run under Stan Lee is great, but the way those old books are written will probably put you off. J Michael Straczinky's Amazing Spider-Man run and Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man will keep you occupied for a long, long time. Also, make sure to read Kraven's Last Hunt.
>>
>>80647650
Thanks, I'll look into those

>>80647750
It's mostly Marvel. The only one that interests me from DC is Batman - never really been big on Superman or any others.

I'm interested in main ones like Spider-Man, Iron Man etc but I'd be up for anything less known too.
>>
>>80647327
WHo is this semen domen?
>>
>>80647812
Iron-Man has a terrible track record, but if you really, really need to you can read Matt Fraction's. If you like the Avengers, Busiek's run is amazing. R u a gril????
>>
>>80647812
Ultimate Spider-Man is a good easy read and feels more like a cartoon/movie than the original comics.

Does it matter?

I'm so, so, sorry in advance for what is about to happen. Trolls are going to come into the thread and they will be saying some very hurtful things about you. They will call you some very hurtful names. But none of those things are true. How could they possibly know? How could they possibly know how beautiful you really are? How sweet and compassionate you are? I'm so sorry about them, please do not let them hurt you.

>mfw thinking about you hurting

I just want to see you shine and flourish. You are so precious to me. I want to write poetry and sing songs about my love and adoration for you and all of your perfections. My name is Brian, by the way. I know that you're tired of all the assholes and jerks. I know how you feel baby doll. I know. I am different. I am the nicest guy you will ever meet, and if anything I'll be the one in the kitchen. I live in London. Please be in London.

It's cool. Not a girl.

Negro, nobody pays for comics on 4chan.

>>80648079
Read Seven Soldiers of Victory. She is one of the 7 and you may discover new characters you like with the others too.
>>
>>80648154
>Recommending Morrison to a newbie
Seven soldiers is good, but would confuse the shit out of a new reader.
I'd recommend Dini's everyday magic one shot and his run that follows it.
>>
>>80648081
Just pretend to be. Don't make me hurt you. Now say some nice things about me.
