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).

Modern Marvel characters/teams:

Title | Writer | Note
---|---|---
Alias (Jessica Jones) | Bendis
Ultimates 1 & 2 (Avengers) | Mark Millar | Ultimate
Avengers / New Avengers | Jonathan Hickman | Hickman 2
Captain America | Ed Brubaker
Captain Marvel | Kelly Sue DeConnick
Daredevil (1979) | Frank Miller | Daredevil 1
Daredevil | Bendis | Daredevil 2
Doctor Strange: The Oath | Brian K. Vaughn
Fantastic Four / FF | Jonathan Hickman | Hickman 1
Hawkeye | Matt Fraction
Immortal Iron Fist | Brubaker & Fraction
Inhumans | Paul Jenkins
Iron Man: Extremis | Warren Ellis | Iron Man 1
Invincible Iron Man | Matt Fraction | Iron Man 2
Marvels (Marvel History) | Kurt Busiek
Moon Knight | Warren Ellis
Ms. Marvel | G. Willow Wilson
Planet Hulk | Greg Pack | Hulk 1
Punisher Max | Garth Ennis

Vision | Tom King
New X-Men | Grant Morrison | X-Men 1
Astonishing X-Men | Joss Whedon | X-Men 2
Uncanny X-Force | Rick Remender | X-Men 6

Events/crossovers can be fun and/or tedious. They are most appreciated by readers well-versed in relevant continuity. Generally, the best non-event comics integrate these seamlessly or avoid them entirely (notwithstanding editorial/executive mandates). Regardless, you may want to familiarize with major plot points.

Modern Marvel events/crossovers:

Comparatively she is a very new character having premiered in 2012. So you can start right from the beginning.

https://www.amazon.com/Ms-Marvel-1-No-Normal/dp/078519021X

u/centipededamascus · 10 pointsr/comicbooks

The place to start would be either Ms. Marvel #1 or the paperback collection Ms. Marvel vol. 1.

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.

Where to buy (US):

u/FountainsOfFluids · 6 pointsr/changemyview

Indeed. The comic market is targeted toward the "early adopters" who can't wait for each new bite sized bit of plot, but they do pick up the rest of us on the back end with the graphic novel collections. For your new Ms. Marvel example, this is taking pre-orders for an October release. There's a bit of a price break, and you get much more content at once which will probably leave people like us much more satisfied. For older series, there can be huge price breaks, and massive amounts of content in a single book, like this.

u/WuPerson · 5 pointsr/politics

Ooh! I used to love reading new things that teachers left out for us when we finished tests early or whatever. I don't know what kind of reading you typically arrange, but can I suggest bringing some comics? Even when the subjects aren't distinctly for teens, the medium can be a good way to introduce new topics and characters that they typically wouldn't pick up (kind of like your "ooh, Teen Vogue -- just kidding, it's also political news" plan).

Off the top of my head, I can recommend March, which is about John Lewis and the civil rights movement; Ms. Marvel, who is a young Muslim American superhero; American Born Chinese, which is a really well done coming-of-age story. Just something to consider if you ever want new things to bring in for teens.

u/hargendarsh · 4 pointsr/comicbooks

Looking at your post history it seems like you don't read comic books so it makes sense you haven't heard of her. To the general public she is very obscure having only appeared in one cartoon and some mobile games. But expect that to change in the upcoming "phases" of the MCU, she's a very likely addition down the road.

She's actually been very popular since she debuted in 2014. Her book has been very strong, and Kamala herself is very likeable. Her book will consistently be among the most pulled on weeks where it's out here, and she's been pushed as the lead for two different team books. She's the most popular new character to debut in a long time.

You can find out more on why people actually want her merch here.

u/TheUnforgiven13 · 3 pointsr/Marvel

It would be the start of a new run and a jumping in point. But the main reason it has #1 printed on it is because #1's sell more than #24 or whatever.

The best way to jump on board would be to buy this and see if she likes it

http://www.amazon.com/Ms-Marvel-Volume-No-Normal/dp/078519021X

And see if she likes it. It has the complete story of her origin.

u/weirdmountain · 3 pointsr/graphicnovels

Ms Marvel by G Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona is EXACTLY what you're looking for. Trade paperback volume 1 is out now. I think the title is "No Normal". It's seriously the best thing Marvel has created in years. I just bought a copy for my 12-year-old sister.

u/gangler52 · 3 pointsr/Marvel

For Ms Marvel you start with The 2014 series and then move on to The 2015 series

If you're doing the trades you start from Volume 1: No Normal and count up from there. It doesn't renumber in 2015 like the single issues do.

Introduction to Comics


How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) | Patrick Willems

Consider your intent/commitment. Think about your favorite shows, movies, books, etc. Reading primarily for enjoyment or encyclopedic knowledge? Collecting? Have the time/resources to read 50 or 500 comics per character?

Don’t try to read everything at once. There’s too much. Forget about catching up, continuity, universes, etc. for now. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so they aren’t necessarily ideal starting points. Writers change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told. Remember, there are many great characters, creators, publishers, etc. to explore.

Pick an interesting character/team and seek their most popular/acclaimed stories. Focus on self-contained, complete stories in one corner of the universe. There will be unexplained references/characters, just persevere or Wiki. Don’t let the tangled web of shared-universe comics overwhelm you. Think of it like solving a jigsaw puzzle one small piece at a time until you finally see the big picture.

Discover your preferences and let them guide you. Don’t get stuck preparing/over-analyzing, just start reading. Do you like/dislike old/new comics? Specific writers/genres? Cartoony/realistic art? Familiar/weird concepts? References/self-contained? All-ages/mature content? Follow these instincts. Didn’t understand a reference? Maybe read that next.

u/Bigemptea · 2 pointsr/Marvel

This is the 2014 Ms Marvel first arc in trade paperback. I'd say get this first [Ms Marvel: No Normal 1-5] (http://www.amazon.com/Ms-Marvel-1-No-Normal/dp/078519021X/)

u/nettasaurus · 2 pointsr/Marvel

I would definitely suggest starting with volume one ( here )

Not stupid at all. The character's ongoing has already reset so you'll find more than one #1 (if you're looking at getting back issues) and there was some weird stuff in volume 3 with an event crossover.

u/faikurogane · 2 pointsr/avengersacademygame

Just get the first trade. There's only 5 so far

Ms. Marvel Volume 1: No Normal (Ms. Marvel Graphic Novels) https://www.amazon.com/dp/078519021X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LB.gybB48G702

u/spacemonkey86 · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Ms Marvel Miss Marvel is a Legacy character so this would be the volume to start you off on this is a reboot of the character

NYX It also features first appearance of x-23

avengers arena I would suggest reading this after reading Young Avengers and Runaways

u/varsas · 2 pointsr/Marvel

There's only one volume 1 for Kamala Khan's Ms. Marvel so it should be easy to follow through trade paperbacks. If you see more than one then it's likely an omnibus.

u/EARTH-FOREVER · 1 pointr/suggestmeabook
  • Deadpool (2012): really well done, goofy superhero comic.
  • [Ms. Marvel (2014)] (http://amzn.com/078519021X): It's about a 16 year old Pakistani Muslim girl and a giant superhero fangirl who ends up becoming a hero herself.
  • [Batman (2013)] (http://amzn.com/1401235425): It's batman. Amazing art and the first few volumes are especially good.
  • [Star Wars: Shattered Empire] (http://amzn.com/0785197818): If you're a Star Wars fan definitely check this out. It takes place directly after the events of Return of the Jedi.
u/grevenilvec75 · 1 pointr/comicbooks

I bring links!

Lumberjanes Vol 1 (not yet released)

Batwoman: Elegy (also check out Batwoman volumes 1 2 3 and 4 )

Captain Marvel Vol 1 which I didnt really like as much as Volume 2 and Avengers Enemy Within (which is basically Captain Marvel Volume 3, but sadly it looks like its out of print, so you might be better off with the digital version.)

Ms Marvel vol 1 and vol 2 (not yet released)

She-Hulk vol 1 and vol 2 (not yet released)

Most of these will be cheaper on instocktrades.com or varoius other websites, so you might want to shop around.

u/secretWolfMan · 1 pointr/NoStupidQuestions

By continuity, do you dislike not knowing the backstory of the characters, or you literally can't decipher which order the cells on the pages are supposed to be in?

There are a lot of graphic novel paperbacks that are collected story arcs (or even the whole series).
Watchmen and Sandman (10 volumes) you can read from beginning to end. And they are awesome.
And there are one's like Ms Marvel that are several individual comics collected so you can follow a whole story. You'll get enough backstory at the beginning to understand what all is happening.

/u/johnnycomet has you covered if you don't like the "graphic" part of graphic novels.

u/Rei17 · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I just finished the first Ms. Marvel trade, and it was great. It's not too violent or anything so far, so seems appropriate for a variety of ages. Definitely recommended!

u/giggleswhenchoked · 1 pointr/mistyfront

Zita the Spacegirl

It's an excellentgraphic novel, it'll capture her artistically or authorially (pretty sure that's not a word, don't tell your daughter), maybe even both.

Also the Ms. Marvel run, female protagonist and female author, excellent writing.

Cheers!
