#or alternatively How I Got Into Comics: Speedrun Edition

[formerheroeswhoquittoolate]

reading through your blog makes me want to get back into reading comics (I've kinda been slacking with reading anything recently).

Also feel free to recommend some comics if you want

OH MY GOD?? yes absolutely you would be my favorite forever!!!

anyway I think you've read fraction/aja's hawkeye already (or maybe that was rosh) but in that vein there's also an all-new hawkeye series by jeff lemire (2015) and another hawkeye series that focuses on kate bishop by kelly thompson (2016). from there you can also read hawkeye: freefall and hawkeye: kate bishop, both of which are much more recent. and technically you don't have to read them in that order at all! but it Will make more sense.

there is also a series called loki: agent of asgard that I personally think everyone on the planet should read (and I made my high school english teacher read it!! high point of my senior year)

also, ms. marvel! it was the entry point into comics for a lot of people I know and the early stuff (g. willow wilson, 2014) is. it's so good. and it's a good entry point into things like agents of atlas, champions, etc. you've probably also heard a lot about blindspot, he's from charles soule's daredevil (2015) and I love him to pieces! and the whole rest of that series is absolutely brilliant as well.

and if you are interested in the x-men. hoo boy. honestly you just kind of have to hop into it with both feet and run around like a chicken with its head cut off for a little bit. I talk about laura kinney a lot (because she's one of my favorites) so if you're interested in her I would absolutely recommend all-new wolverine by tom taylor (2015). if you're interested in the general x-men saga as a whole... uh. what I did was read avx and then just kind of flail around in the weeds of Characters I Liked until I knew what was going on. which takes some dedication and once you know what characters you like I'm happy to help you follow their arcs! it's really rewarding once you get into it but you do have to flounder around a little bit first.
