Forget about continuity, universes, timelines, etc; it's all very confusing, even to creators/fans. The best way to jump in is to just start reading.
How much time do you have for comics? The answer determines how expansive recommendations are. Regardless, don’t try to read everything. First appearances & early origins are not always good starting points—older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences. Remember, there are so many other great characters/stories/publishers to explore (and not all comics are about superheroes).
Think about your favorite stories from other media. What you might like to read in a comic? Are you more interested in good storytelling or becoming a Marvel knowledge nerd?
Creative teams change often and characters get re-worked e.g. I never cared for Hawkeye until Matt Fraction’s run. Focus on well-received and relatively self-contained stories. Pick an interesting character/team and seek their “greatest hits”. You may encounter the occasional unexplained reference/character/event—just ride along (Wiki if necessary).

Ed Brubaker's current run is the definitive modern version of the character. You can buy the individual trade paperbacks but the cheapest way is through the 2 large omnibus collections that were released. The first one is 744 pages for $50 so it's a pretty good deal.
Start Here: http://www.amazon.com/Captain-America-Omnibus-Vol-1/dp/0785128662/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266089133&sr=8-7
Read Civil War: http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266089235&sr=1-1
Then Read This: http://www.amazon.com/Death-Captain-America-Omnibus/dp/0785138064/ref=pd_sim_b_1
and you will be pretty much caught up except for stuff that's come out in the past year or so.
If you'd prefer to read the softcover trades: start here: http://www.amazon.com/Captain-America-Vol-Winter-Soldier/dp/0785119205/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266089341&sr=1-2-spell
The main arc is 7 or 8 issues and you can get it in trade paperback or kindle edition at amazon, also at Comixology.com in digital format.
For Marvel Comics
How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) | Patrick Willems
Consider your intent/commitment. Think about your favorite stories/characters from TV, movies, games, books, etc. Do you seek quality storytelling or encyclopedic Marvel knowledge? Plan to collect? What time/resources are available i.e. how many comics could/should be read before burning out?
Don’t try to read everything—there’s too much. Forget about “catching up”, continuity, universes, and timelines; it's all very confusing, even to creators/fans. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so first appearances/early origins may not be the best starting points. Creative teams change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told (e.g. I never cared for Hawkeye until Matt Fractions’ run).
Pick an interesting character/team and seek their “greatest hits”. Don’t get stuck “preparing”, just start reading. Focus on well-received, relatively self-contained, and complete stories. You may encounter the occasional unexplained reference/character/event—just ride along (Wiki if necessary). Remember, there are so many other great characters and publishers to explore, and not all comics are about superheroes.

There's Road to Civil War. It kind of sets the stage for the event.
Then, there's the trade for the event itself.. There's a hardcover version with a lot of extras that I'd recommend.
Also, Civil War: Frontline is a good series to pick up. It follows a couple of reporters as they cover what's going on.
If you're into Spider-Man, Civil War: Spiderman is a good trade to pick up. It collects issues of Amazing Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man, etc. that take place during the event.
Also, Death of Captain America is a good trade to pick up. It takes place directly after Civil War and covers the Fallen Son event.
There's, of course, a lot more out there, but the links above are pretty good for getting the full story.
If that's a bit pricey for you, you can sometimes find people selling a full collection of the Civil War event on eBay for about 50 or 60 bucks.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
EDIT: Realized links were directing to the mobile site, so I changed it to the desktop versions.
If you haven't read the Civil War comic I suggest you do. Bucky will be a big part of things to come, they're not abandoning that plot for another Avenger's movie.
http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X
edit: that sounded super comic book nerdy pretentious. I didn't mean that. I just mean that the story doesn't dissolve, and it is a good read.
All three of those storylines you can read just the core series, and it still makes sense. Tie-ins are usually there just to make the event come across as more large-scale.
Just FYI, Age of Ultron the movie isn't based on the comic series. It's a name-only thing. I really enjoyed it, but the general consensus is that it was terrible, so you might want to be cautious of that one.

This book contains the main story of Civil War: Civil War by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. It is what we call a "trade paperback" which collects the series that was released in individual issues as Civil War #1-7.
That book is a complete story in itself. There are many side stories, which we call "tie-ins" that take place in the same time period, but are not essential to read to understand or enjoy the main story. You can see them listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_War_%28comics%29#Collected_editions
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an awesome starting point. I would recommend Brubakers whole run.
Hope this helps!
All you need to read is this: http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X
http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X
Here's a the tpb, it's all parts of the main story, there are also tie ins such as the Iron Man tie in, all of which can be found here: http://www.comicbookherald.com/the-complete-marvel-reading-order-guide/guide-part-7-civil-war/
Most of them aren't necessary as they just provide different points of view. It's a great story and enjoy :)
ps. it only takes about 30 seconds to google "civil war reading order, but I like asking the /r/marvel community, too ;)
Oh boy
They have trade paper backs for the main story lines, honestly I would suggest you get those, the comics took a long time for me to find.
http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X
it is loosely based on this
There are a bunch of factors that go into deciding the price, including quality of paper stock (high glossy vs. newspaper print), and number of actual pages.
If you're talking about this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/078512179X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_BY.3xbGS8AASH it's also seven issues at $4 an issue, so $25 is actually slightly cheaper than buying it in single issue format. Plus Amazon almost always has trades marked 20-30% down so that helps a lot. It's the hardcovers that are almost always a rip off in my opinion.
Oh, and original cover price obviously. If all marvel single issues are $3.99 and DC are $2.99, that's going to make a difference.
Well, that's a pretty tall order, as you're talking about approximately 8 years worth of major Marvel crossovers. These involve at least 6-plus core book issues, with possibly 30+ "tie in" issues for each storyline (sometimes even more with major events like Civil War). That being said, from Secret War onward, a lot of the major Marvel Universe storylines usually set the stage for, or led into, the next major storyline - providing a slight linear narrative.
However, to add to your friend's upcoming reading juggernaut, Avengers vs. X-Men is more the culmination of several years of X-Men stories and crossovers spinning out of House of M - almost completely diverged from the major Marvel plots. But to help you out, I'll give you as complete a list as possible (up until Avengers vs X-Men), including links to the core storyline trade paperbacks. Do be aware that there are many MANY tie-in TPBs as well.
MARVEL STORYLINES & CROSSOVERS (IN ORDER)
I'll continue in a response post with a list of X-Men storylines that led directly to Avengers vs. X-Men.
Hope this helps!
In order:
Civil War
Secret Invasion Optional since it doesn't really involve Cap, but it sets up the fall of Shield and how Osborne forms Hammer
Siege
And if you need to fill in the gaps for Siege, you should totally read the JMS run of Thor too 'cause it was pretty awesome. That's what I love about comics, all the interconnecting stories.
As someone said before me, ALL of Ed Brubaker's run is worth reading. A gentleman over at Comic Vine posted this list that really maps out the reading order.
Mark Millar's Civil War is interesting, because many people consider it a great story for Cap, but a bad story alltogether. Way too black-and-white for me, but definitely worth a read.
Although it's not quite up to Brubaker's quality, I'm really enjoying Rick Remender's current run of Cap under Marvel Now! I kind of think John Romita Jr's art is subpar, but that's a matter a lot of people contested me on, he's a pretty polarizing artist. The first arc was alright, but after that, the second arc deals with Cap facing off with an old, lesser known villain that works as a great foil to the Star-Spangled man with a plan. This trade paperback is the best place to start for Remender's run (unless you like collecting singles.
If you're interested at all in the classics, you can read Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Captain America and Avengers runs with the "Marvel Masterworks" reprints. I still think a good amount of these stories hold up, and it's a pretty good offer because it's quite a few long issues per volume. They also recently released a Marvel Masterworks collection for the old Golden Age Cap Comics, I have to say though, story-wise, I wouldn't really recommend them. It's really interesting having a copy to look at as comic book history, but a lot of the stories don't hold up very well, and Ed Brubaker retells Cap's WWII days brilliantly in his run. Unless you're REALLY interested in everything Cap or comics history, I'd say pass on the Golden Age stuff for now.
Of course there's also a ton of great material in between Cap's beginning and the modern age, but they're a bit hard to get into. However, I must recommend one story from a bit long ago. This story shows his earnestness, his virtuous nature, and the will to fight for what's right even when it's almost impossible, the things that make him a great hero! That story is "What If Issue 44: What if Captain America was revived today?" Once you get pass some of the setting issues that are confusing now that that comic is older, it's a really fantastic story for Cap, and the one that introduced me to him!
I'm not sure how much you're into comics, but I'd also like to give some advice just in case you are pretty new (if you're not new, I'm sorry for assuming and you can just skip this last paragraph). If you're wanting to read all of these stories, I'd highly recommend investing in Marvel Unlimited. Essentially you just pay $70 for the year (or $100 if you want the fancy-schmancy Plus membership), and download twelve comics at a time to read from their selection. I know they have all the Brubaker stuff right now, and most of the big events from the past few years. They also have quite a few classics too! It's a really great deal considering that buying trade issues of those Cap reccomendations (which would be the cheapest alternative) would still likely be at least two hundred dollars to collect the whole stories. Right now I'm reading Annihilation right now to get ready for Guardians of the Galaxy!
Hope I could help you find some good stories! Good luck, soldier!
EDIT: This completely slipped my mind, but thought it was worth mentioning. If you're okay with watching cartoons (I love them myself) I'd also recommend the "Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" series on Netflix right now. Even though it's a kid's cartoon, it has some REALLY great character moments and development, especially for Cap. The first season is more about the team as a whole, but season two has quite a bit of Cap focus that I thought was absolutely wonderful. A lot of the stories are actually condensed versions of classic and modern comic arcs, so it also helped me get really familiar with a lot of the Marvel universe ahead of time.
I'd recommend starting with Brian Bendis' Avengers work, he was very solid for a long time on his various Avengers titles. [This collection will introduce you to an event called Avengers Disassembled](https://www.amazon.com/New-Avengers-Brian-Michael-Bendis/dp/1302903624/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1524720917&sr=8-4&keywords=avengers+brian+michael+bendis), it was a big turning point in the Marvel Universe that many future events share some DNA with.
After that collection [I'd recommend House of M](https://www.amazon.com/House-M-Brian-Michael-Bendis/dp/0785117210/ref=pd_sim_14_7?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0785117210&pd_rd_r=KEZ2VF9TXA5B281VRGA0&pd_rd_w=FawCu&pd_rd_wg=6bhjT&psc=1&refRID=KEZ2VF9TXA5B281VRGA0), it's a story that is very much a sequel to Avengers Disassembled and is one of the better Marvel events imo.
If you want to continue with events, [Civil War feels like the next step](https://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X/ref=pd_sim_14_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=078512179X&pd_rd_r=2JF6NEKVXWVQ6SKMR422&pd_rd_w=qI7Ct&pd_rd_wg=JO7Ag&psc=1&refRID=2JF6NEKVXWVQ6SKMR422) from there so I'd recommend that in case you haven't read it.
[And Planet Hulk is great](https://www.amazon.com/Incredible-Hulk-Planet-Greg-Pak/dp/0785120122/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1524721200&sr=1-1&keywords=planet+hulk), you're in for a treat, I wish I could re-read it again for the first time.
If you continue with the Brian Bendis New Avengers Complete Collections then you're in for a good time, but if you want to stick with events after that initial volume then this is a good way to go.
the main book being this one?
http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425921631&sr=8-1&keywords=civil+war
Alright, OP. First thing first, check this service out. Marvel Unlimited
I started a month ago because of the marvel 75 unlimited deal (seriously if you're a casual noobie like me, this service is the shit).
This guide helped me out A LOT.
Here's my adventure into the vast unknown territory of comics:
I love the X-men so I started with:
I skipped the Avengers** Disassembled and went straight into the
I couldn't get into
IronmanandThor(though the recent arc with the god slayer is amazing).**
Spidermanis a nopenopenope for me. I almost had a heart attack (arachnophobia is a bitch) when he turned into a spider during the beginning of the Avengers Dissembled(?).Anyway just pick a book and keep reading, OP. I was also overwhelmed with the massive amount of books like you are right now a month ago!
House of M has some of my favorite Spider-Man pages in comics. I definitely liked it. It was kind of like a What If... maxi-series and I dig stuff like that. It did have huge changes for the marvel universe, mostly for the X-Men. None of the tie-ins are worth it though.
Other Events:
If you're an X-Fan, Decimation is a good place to start Post-House of M.
Civil War (Digital) is obviously a big one, but The Road To Civil War (Digital) is worth picking up first. As for tie-ins, I was reading Spider-Man at the time and liked it, but haven't read any of the others.
If you think you'll like that, Civil War: Frontline also gets praise, but I'm lukewarm on it.
After that Planet Hulk(Digital) and World War Hulk (Digital) were both a lot of fun.
Finally, going back to pre-House of M even. Secret War (Digital).Covert-ops story with Spider-Man, Daredevil, Wolverine, Cap, and Widow, some of the most beautiful painted art in recent comics.
This is the main book. The rest are tie-ins.
Here is a detailed reading guide. If you want to read the whole thing without breaking the bank I'd recommend grabbing a month of Marvel Unlimited and reading it there first before shelling out money for physical copies.
Is This what you're referring to? 208 pages doesn't seem like enough to cover everything....I could be wrong though. I wonder if that includes EVERYTHING though, like She Hulk, and all of the other parts that are on that list....I may have to look into that...
Hahahaha, that would indeed be nice! Is the next book going to be the last book?
This is the main book. This is all you have to read to get the main story.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/078512179X/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_8s7Cub16BY09D
The main Civil War 1-7 is the best way to read it. The Tie Ins are side dishes but Civil War is the main course.
I have this Civil War Paperback is there any others i should read
Civil War
This site has a lot of really great info, especially for your boyfriend when deciding what to read and make sense of it all. I've used it a fair amount. This wikipedia article might help if he's into the big crossover stuff.
As far as another big one, Civil War is always a popular choice. It's one of the better comics of the last couple decades. He'll have heard all about it and seen the movie, so it might be neat to see what he's missing.
As far as other good stuff, a sort of out there one is the Authority. It's in a completely other comic universe with people he probably won't know, but it's really great. It was one of the first to show the gritty, flawed heroes, plus it supposedly inspired how a lot of the movies were shot. It's also by my favorite writer, Warren Ellis. I typically choose comics by writer.
Speaking of great writers, you could pick up the first volume of either Y: the Last Man or Saga, which are both pretty ubiquitous in the comic world.
And here's the link to Secret War. I included the links for clarity, but do please go to a local comic book store if you can. It's great to support them and they will typically give solid recommendations. Or be assholes. Or both.
This one? https://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X
And it includes the full story? Thanks for your help!
Betrayal At House on the Hill. Kickass board game. Also, Batman Year One and Identity Crisis.
I would love THIS as the start to my Doctor Who comic collection. Barring that, I'd love to finally read Civil War.

Just buy them the main series as a TPB. http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449464791&sr=8-1&keywords=civil+war
If you grab the trade paperback you get all the issues in one. I believe it is about 20 bucks on amazon. Definitely worth the read if you like Marvel heroes.
EDIT: It is actually 15.76 on amazon. I would get the actual paperback comics are not meant to be read on a screen.
https://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X
Well the graphic novel can be found on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X
Although I recommend buying from a comic shop if you can because it supports local businesses and will help get you into comics if you have any questions.
As far as the tie ins? There are probably hundreds. So I would read the main story first, see what characters interest you and then go from there. Personally I like the Spiderman stories from that time, Iron man and strangely enough the Deadpool/Cable stories were wonderful. Also runaways meets the Young Avengers was fun but that might be a little obscure for you.
Also if you look on the amazon suggested page there are some recommended reading that are all civil war related.

The basics are Civil War 01 - 07.
If you have room to expand, you can consider the Front Line series, which covers news and reporters during the event (01 - 11 plus a few extra).
If you want to expand from there, my favorite tie-in comics are Amazing Spider-Man. Start reading around 529 and continue until about 538.
New Avengers never had much important plot, but I liked reading about Like Cage. Skip #21 and start at #22. Read Wolverine's stories (starting #42) if you already like wolverine because it's just more of the same testosterone journey. Cable + Deadpool (30+) is also exactly what you'd expect. Black Panther's work is fun but pretty low-impact (18+, only a couple issues long).
If you want the collected paperbacks, you can find a lot in Road to Civil War, Civil War, Amazing Spiderman: Civil War, Civil War: Front Line, etc.
I didn't much like the Iron Man, Captain America, or Fantastic Four comics during the Civil War, but there are collections of all of them.
Nearly every running line at the time tied in, including niche titles like Runaways (it was the worst runaway comic until 2010), Thunderbolts, She-Hulk, X-Factor, etc. Ms. Marvel wasn't bad. I'm not too familiar with the rest. There were also a ton of one-shots (Choosing Sides, Case Files, etc) that I don't really know.
This is kind of a tricky question. If you're talking about all of Civil War, meaning the main mini-series and all tie ins, that refers to nearly one hundred comics. As /u/TARS-CASE mentioned, that was released as this gargantuan box set.
If you want just the main mini-series, you can get the trade here.
Most of the tie ins have their own stand alone trades, sich as Civil War: Wolverine or Civil War: Fantastic Four.
Civil War had alooooooot of tie ins, I'm not sure if any are good, or worth reading; but the main story is this. You can just read that and understand everything just fine. A few years ago when I first got into comics it was one of the first things I read, and I found it easy to follow
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_War_%28comics%29
Can be bought here:
http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X#
It's specifically a 7 issue run called Civil War. The rest are all tie-ins.
Without going into too much detail: Infinity Gauntlet followed by Infinity War.
Civil War (as for tie-ins, I recommend Spider-Man and Front Line )
Someone else will have to give you more info on Thor. There's Thor: Ragnarok but I don't know much about it
If you wanted a single book to buy, I would start with Civil War.
If you like it, and you want to read a ton, look into Marvel Unlimited. If you insist of physical books, buy in bulk (trades). I'd say anything under a $1/issue is a good deal.
Honestly, the main story just by itself is pretty great and its pretty straightforward and requires little to none background knowledge. House of M doesn't really explain why Civil War happens or give crucial information that you need to understand the story other than why the X-Men are reluctant to join. In reference as to what edition to read, here is just the main story collection: http://www.amazon.ca/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413480422&sr=8-1&keywords=marvel+civil+war .
There is no omnibus as far as I can tell, but the main story arc can be found here.
Everything else is just filler information - they each add a little more detail to the main storyline.
Well if you're interested in Civil War specifically, there's Road to Civil War and Civil War. There's a ton of spin-off trades that are cool reads, but those two will give you the story.
As for other stuff, yeah, there's a lot. Really depends on who you're interested in.
So, if you're a Batman fan, this one is kind of a must-read. It's one of the best Batman/Joker comics out there.
For a somewhat lesser known hero, I've heard Quiver is a great Green Arrow comic, and it's written by Kevin Smith (the guy who did Clerks, Dogma, Mallrats, etc. and one of the main guys from Comic Book Men). You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/Green-Arrow-Quiver-KEVIN-SMITH-ebook/dp/B00FKLSU6U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398804274&sr=8-1&keywords=quiver+green+arrow
On the Marvel side, I'd recommend the Civil War series: http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398804459&sr=8-1&keywords=marvel+civil+war. I think you can basically jump right into it without knowing too much backstory, which is nice.
For a non-DC/Marvel comic, I've been hearing very good things about Rocket Girl.
Hope that helps!
As for one that I want, I'm gonna go with: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1401232744/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3BV6ORTEG1H7I&coliid=I10LS5GB7VV1XA
Since you want to read Civil War, I'd say that's as good a place as any to start.
Other recommendations I would make of newer stuff;
Avengers
New Avengers
Infinity
It might seem intimidating to jump into a series without knowing a ton of backstory on characters, but that's what I did, (New Avengers) and I still enjoyed it quite a bit. It was nice not having pre-conceived notions about how a character should be written.
My advice: jump in there head first and read whatever catches your eye.
Just to make sure, these are the books Marvel Siege and Marvel Civil War. If so, based off the used price on Amazon, does $25 sound good for the two?

Civil War is kind of all over the place, but here is the "correct" order you should read it in:
There are a LOT more comics lines that follow the Civil War arc but these are the main ones that you will want to read. The new Cap 3 movie will also be based on Civil War!
Get the graphic novel, much of the entire thing is a waste. http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Mark-Millar/dp/078512179X
