so, I've always loved superheroes since I was little. I loved the TV shows, the video games, toys when I was little, and movies, yet I realized I never really took time to partake in them on their original form; comic books.
I started avengers vs X men once, never finished.
so /co/ what are your must reads, essentials, and suggestions for beginners?

Terrible Idea.
What/who specifically are you interested in?

You're gonna have to be more specific. What heroes are you interested in?

Hmm, let's see. I've always preferred marvel DESU, so maybe some spider-man, X-men, or wolverine. Are there any good fantastic four series?

Pick up something that looks interesting to you, read it, research it read some more

Probably some generally popular guys like X men, spider man, a good justice league run would be nice too.

Marvel Adventures Spider-man
Ultimate Spider-man
Death of Jeane DeWolfe
Kraven's Last Hunt

Claremont's run
Morrison's run
Whedon's

There's tons more but this is all I've ever run as far as the 'main' team goes.
>Fantastic four
The classic Kirby stuff

Two pretty good starting points for Spider-Man are Brand New Day if you want something more modern, or The Next Chapter if you want more of a 90's flair. Just pick up volume 1 and move forward from there.
Current Spider-Man is not very good, since the writer working on it clearly ran out of ideas a while ago and won't leave the book for whatever reason, but his older stuff is pretty good.
Jonathan Hickman's Fantastic 4 run is generally considered to be pretty good, so check that out.
And I personally really liked Wolverine and the X-Men by Jason Aaron, but iirc most of /co/ doesn't, so your mileage may vary on that one.
