Hey kid… Wanna try some comics?!

DEADPOOL KILLS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE

Hi I'm Joshua and I'm a nerd. What with all of the Marvel movies coming out I'm sure there's a lot of people who may be curious about what the big deal is with comics. If that is you here are a few comics from Marvel that I enjoy and that I think are a good place to start.

I do not own the rights to any of these properties (like Marvel Studios and the X-Men) I'm just a nerd trying to spread my disease
With the dead Pool movie coming out February 12 I'm sure a lot of people are going to want to read the Merc with a mouth's comics. This is a great place to jump in because you really don't need to know the backstory, basically dead pool kills everything

Secret wars

This is the best event comic that Marvel has ever done. It's a vast in scope and it's so ambitious it took five + years of backstory to lay the foundation for this arc to take place. It's really top-notch comic on the same level as watchmen. Also as a bonus Alex Ross draws all of the covers

New avengers by Jonathan Hickman

This is the comic that laid most of the groundwork for the secret wars event to take place. It's dark dismal and offers little hope for the heroes. What I love about it is it's amazing characterization of black panther, Dr. strange and Namor. All underutilized characters in my opinion. Great read

Uncanny X force by Rick Remender

Best team up ever. A mutant death squad ran by Wolverine and consisting of Deadpool, Archangel, Fantomex And Psylocke work in the shadows to protect mutant and manna like from the impending doom of apocalypse. Seriously this comic is so well-written and so gripping, each character has a satisfying story arc. Plus the fight scenes are bloody brilliant

Daredevil: the devil in cellblock D

What happens when the law finds out that daredevil is actually a lawyer. . Bad things, daredevil gets locked up in the same cells that many super villains who he put away occupy. Very tense very fast-paced very rewarding

Daredevil: demagogue

A church in Hells kitchen sets of meetings for people to come and talk about the daredevil and his affect on the community. What unfolds are various retellings of close encounters and sightings of the daredevil. I love this comic because it's quiet, subdued and has an amazing plot twist

Moon knight: the bottom

Moon Knight is by far my favorite underrated character in the marvel universe. He is a tremendously complex character with multiple personality disorders, major moral flaws and his powers aren't exactly world beating. But that's what makes amazing, he overcome so much. This is the perfect comic to read moon knight if you've never read him before. There is a rumor that he may get his on Netflix show, fingers crossed

Thor: God of thunder

This is how Thor should be written. This is us how Thor is meant to be. No avengers, no Jane Foster, no chick from two broke girls. Just the God of thunder duking it out across the cosmos against a amazingly complex enemy. The art is drop dead gorgeous too

Ultimate fantastic four

This is the only ultimate comic that I prefer to its marvel universe counterpart. It's a fresh take on the FF and it has long term far-reaching consequences throughout the MU

Secret invasion

Half of the heroes on earth have been replaced by aliens and there's no way to tell who is who. What ensues is one of the best events Marvel has ever done and a great starting point if you have never read comics before

X-Men : messiah complex

The X-Men have always been feared and hated and after the events of house of them they find their numbers dwindling. Then something happens and for the first time in a long time the X-Men dare to hope

X-Men: Second coming

This takes place directly after the events of messiah complex. Cable returns with hope, and cyclops finds out about Wolverines secret death squad.this comic has so much incredible violence in action and still manages to emotionally hit home

Marvel universe versus the punisher

Imagine if I am legend start the punisher instead of Hancock

Anti-venom

Venom has turned good… Kinda and teams up with the punisher to take down a drug cartel

House of M

Up until till the recent secret wars this was the best Marvel comic event ever. Magneto rules the world and only Wolverine remembers what the world was like before

Alias

If you've watched Jessica Jones on Netflix you know she's a dark character. Not only is her source material dark but it was the first Marvel comic to drop the F bomb. And it drops it a whole lot

Wolverine: old man Logan

This is one of the most satisfying one shot story arcs you'll ever read. Basically imagine if the game the last of us start Wolverine instead of Nolan North
