    Wanted to give a quick thanks for putting this together. My dad was a big fan of Marvel growing up in the 70s/80s so I’d been somewhat exposed to it (and read some of my own), but after binging Invincible and getting really interested in Marvel again (thanks Spider Verse and the awesome Latour/ Renzi run of Spider Gwen) and wanted a place to start after I finished the large spider events and this video was great. I wanted to hit both the highlights of the past and get up to speed with current events and this video was perfect for that.

    5:11 Fresh start that's me. The vibrant colours & texture of comics look really cool now. The artists of all these comics use so many different & amazing art styles.
    Today I bought my first Marvel comic in 40yrs. I even got covers & a backing to preserve it.

    Quick question, what if I want to do 25 best marvel comics 1961-2000 and then hop onto your top 100 from 1998-2015? Then maybe after that do modern start?
    So basically, what if I want to do a mix of all 3 of these overall? What do I do?

    There's a lot of comics I need to read from Marvel Comics.
    Such as Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, Avengers, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, DareDevil, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Thor, everything.
    Plus, I need to read every Marvel event from Avengers: The Kree-Skrull War to King In Black. I already have 5 events in Collection Volumes: which are World War Hulk, Secret Invasion, War of Kings, Realm of Kings, and Secret Wars 2015. I'm going to read Secret Wars 1984, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, and Time Runs Out in preparation for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars in the MCU.
    But right now, I'm trying to read all of the Ultimate Universe. Starting with the Ultimate Spider-Man comics.

    Unlike dc which started back in the 30s, marvels main runs started in the 60s, and hoenslty you can go right upto the late 90s. Past that its highly questionable. Unfortunately the 90s also gave birth to the ridiculous issies you needed for crossovers. Choose some books and strapnin for 30 years of great storytelling

    Judgment Day?
    One of the worst events I've ever read. Thats saying a lot, considering events are the poorest quality of marvel comics. Well, I wasn't able to read all of it. I bought the comics, but it was too painful to read.
