I’ve never read a Marvel comic. OK, well, I’ve never read a comic at all. And I like to do it. So, after attending a course about superheroes, I’d like to start to read them. The question is simple: where should I start?

that depends entirely on your taste as marvel has varying themes

What looks appeallng to you? Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, etc.?

Start with Jews ie Kirby/Lee plus Ditko.

I like X-men and Ironman

Explain.

not OP but I always found xmen too preachy towards their own cause. Fun universe and a bit surreal yet down to earth

Frankly, if you're entirely new to comics, you might do better to start with something from DC. Superman: For All Seasons, or Batman: Year One. There's plenty of good and great Marvel comics, but if you want something as a good starting point for the genre itself, you should probably go with DC.

That said: Claremont's X-Men is an excellent starting point if you want Marvel specifically.
Iron Man has always struggled to find true greatness, but the "Demon in a Bottle" story, about Tony's struggle with alcoholism, is regarded as a classic for a reason. Iron Man: Extremis is also generally thought to be good.

For X-Men, if you're looking for modern stuff, Grant Morrison's New X-Men and Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-men series are really good. If you don't mind something a little older, check out Chris Claremont's work in Uncanny X-Men. The Dark Phoenix Sage is one of the best and most popular X-Men stories out there.

It's best you don't start at all. Trust me.

Giant Size X-Men and Uncanny X-Men 94 onwards for the classics.

Or try reading along or picking some stuff from pic related.
