ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN (2000)
“[This series] is just one of those runs that get all of the Spidey vibes so well! From Peter Parker’s origin story to the quips and the art style, it’s a great one to dive into, no matter how much knowledge you have on Spider-Man! It clearly sets up the plot without any confusion or need-to-know regarding Peter Parker’s character ahead of time.”
HOUSE OF M (2005)
“If you’re looking for a great, well-known comic event, this is an awesome go-to! There are tons of different characters in this one, including both Avengers AND the X-Men, and it’s so much fun to see them interact with one another. This is a great comic to start with if you don’t know what characters you want to read more comics of, because you get a little bit of everyone!”

YOUNG AVENGERS (2005)
“YOUNG AVENGERS is one of those comics that I couldn’t put down once I started, I just couldn’t get enough! There is so much action and the plot is just so good, plus it introduces us to some of the Avenger kiddos and mentees (Kate Bishop and Cassie Lang’s friendship is everything!). If you’re looking for some new characters that you’ll instantly fall in love with, I can promise you this is the comic run you’re looking for.”
NEW AVENGERS (2004)
“I love this run because it has a good mix of familiar characters, as well as ones that people may not know! And because of that, I think it makes a great starter comic in the sense that you can learn about new characters without it being too overwhelming. There is so much action, and the conversations the team has with one another is never hard to follow. Great!”
HAWKEYE VS. DEADPOOL (2014)
“If you combined Halloween, tired Clint Barton and Dad-pool together, this is what you get and it is fantastic. Deadpool especially had me cracking up at every page, and the plot is great. If you’re looking for more Hawkeye content with a little twist, this one is definitely a great one to read!”
MOON KNIGHT (2021)
“Moon Knight’s character is so so interesting, and I think this particular run sets up his story so well. There was never a moment I was confused while reading this. We learn so much about him and what drives him for his work in his Midnight Mission as the fist of Khonshu. This is a great starter MOON KNIGHT comic to jump into if you want to learn more about him, or just don’t know where to start.”
SPIDER-GWEN (2015B)
“This Spider-Gwen run is awesome because it gives such great insight into more of the Spider-Verse without being too much info to process at once. We get to learn a lot more about Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman and the variations of well-known characters in her universe. Plus, we have the classic Spidey charm to the story as well, with Gwen’s quips and backstory!”

BLACK WIDOW (2014)
“The art. The storyline. The action. Everything in this is classic Black Widow and it’s such a fun one. You get to see so much of Nat’s personality and her connections and work outside of her time with the Avengers. Super fun and easy to read with lots of plot twists that leave you wanting more each issue!”
