How do I get into cape-comics? Isn't there a "main" canon series for popular shit? I just see so many alternate universes and reboots that it's a big turnoff and I just stick to non-cape.

Just do what I do read a couple of wikis and pretend like you know what you're talking about
It's been working for a whole year now

Read Marvel Adventures.
I'm assuming there's something similar for DC.

Just read stuff that's good.
"Canon" is for speglords who want to obsess over minutiae.

Read what the community prizes and use comic vine to fill any knowledge.
Canon is overrated in series where writers and artists constantly change.
just dont read cape comics even the good ones are shit

Earth 616 for mahvel and Earth 30 for DC
Or you can go the safe route and jut read New 52
Don't bother OP, i tried, and i realized capecomics is just an industry meant to spew out products that will trick people into buying all the other comics too, instead of actually caring more about making stories
Get away from the maelstrom while you still can

99% of the comics Marvel puts out takes place in main canon. 90% of what DC puts out takes place in main canon.
The problem with cape comics is they're basically a scam if you get anything other than anthologies or comps or whatever. They're way over priced so nobody buys them in singles but nerds with jobs who blow all their extra money on this shit. That's why they've been marketing more and more to normies. Like movies, it's about money first--not art.

To add to that, they're bad a marketing to normies. That was going to be my whole point. Comics are in some weird transitional phase--especially with all the girls who are genuinely interested in them now.
