What is the proper way of reading superhero comics? I was feeling like reading Spider-man, and found out there are a ton of different Spider-man comics, some in different dimensions.
I'm at a loss, what's the supossed reading order?
I've been reading comic books since the 70s and I'm sitting here, scratching my head about how to respond to your request.
If you look long enough, you will probably figure out a reading order. Maybe with the help of a site like Marvel Chronology.
But it doesn't matter that much. Just pick up whatever issue of Amazing Spider-Man was recently published.
the big comics (superman, batman, spiderman, xmen, etc) don't really have a reading order. their continuity changes constantly as new writers are brought in. it seems like marvel and dc have a complete overhaul every 5 years or so.
