It hooked me right away, I read every issue from here until I think right around the end of the Brood Saga. By that point I was already reading like 10-20 books a month so it was definitely an effective gateway drug.

My first comic was a Beano in 2002. I can't remember what issue it was but I was hooked for a long ass time on Beano and Dandy before branching onto other comics.

Hand-me-down from a cousin, along with a couple others but this is the one that really grabbed me and made me read it first. Needless to say I was quite excited when DnA rebooted it.

Sometime during 1st grade we were given this for whatever reason. Pretty standard Spidey vs Ock story, but it got me inserted into comics. Granted I'm not much of an avid comic reader but I read some stuff here and there.

My first comic was either some Archie TMNT, or Groo that my dad bought me.

The one that started my collecting was pic related. This is what got me into my lcs monthly looking for the next one. Within a year i was collecting Venom and Iron Man as well, and have been a Wednesday Warrior ever since. 25 years later, and I'm at just shy of 6000 singles.

Holy shit I remember that. My friend had the Doctor Octopus one, & I had the Doctor Doom & Sandman issues. They really left a mark on me growing up. Not my first comic, but one of them. Pic related was my first. I must've been in 3rd or 4th grade. It came with my marvel legends wolverine figure that had 2 left hands.

I might have had one or two before but I don't remember them as well. My dad took my sister and I on a trip to the city and a street side vendor was selling comics. I only knew the X-Men from playing the arcade game a couple times and I hadn't been watching the cartoon yet but I thought it looked sweet. It's not great but it opened the floodgates. I remember the guy got my dad to buy like a Dinosaurs for Hire comic for my sister. We get home, check it out and see a dinosaur rip a guy's head off. My sister probably dumped it.

>>93316779
My sister bought newspaper to get that for me when it was a free giveaway. I love her for it but it really put me off of Millar. I just knew him from reading Superman Adventures and Adventures in the DCU before that and I liked him for those but I guess I just started learning what a tryhard is.

First comicbook I ever owned was some random issue of Superboy that I saw at a newstand at and airport and went "hey I got a couple bucks"
First comic that REALLY got me into comics was either GL Rebirth or Jokers Asylum.

First comic I bought with my own money. I was like 6 years old. Thought it looked really cool. I was hooked ever since. Really good issue too since it gives an overview of the GL mythos. It's no wonder the franchise has stuck with me so long.

I can't remember the first comic I ever read, but I remember the one I started collecting. This comic got me going into my LCS everyweekend with $5 to spend. In the 90s, you could get about 2-3 books for that kinda money.

SOV was a cool book, especially since I didn't really know anything about GR, I had only read the origin issue at a friends house. But man it was so cool to be dropped into a middle of an event, and just hold on while a guy with a shot gun that shot hellfire tried to save his family from demons.

Picked up and read in the middle of a supermarket line. This was the first one I remember reading, with the first one I ever bought was Marvel Adventures' Spider-Man Vol. 6. Really should download both series sometime.

New Warriors

They were handing out free copies at the zoo of an antidrug issue, I must've been like 8 or 9. I don't think I read a comic ( besides newspapers or manga) again until Highschool
