What genre do you like?
Are you looking specifically for superheroes or anything?
Are you looking for runs, single issues, stand-alone stories?
Hey Yea Forums, I want to try to get into comics, where do I start?

We don't know your tastes since you didn't elaborate on it, so it's hard to recommend anything for you specifically. But here's a method I've used: go to your library, look at the comics section, compare comic covers, flip through some pages, and pick something that looks interesting to you. Then you'll just branch out from there. If you liked some particular comic, look up information on what other works the writer/artist have created, or which characters have crossovers with their comic, or which comics are famous for having similar themes, or whatever.

>pick a character that you like
>find a comic with said character that is also a #1
>read said issue
>if you enjoyed it, check the creative team (writer/artist) and look for more stuff by them
>if you did not, find another comic with said character in it
>don’t like the current Amazing Spider-Man? You can check out Friendly Neighborhood or SM/DP
>don’t like the current Batman? You have other Batman centric titles to pick from

Pick a character that you really like, read their first issues, and then look up some of the higher rated runs for that character.

don't bother with any of the big DC/Marvel capeshit.
knowing what to recommend is impossible without more detail as to your tastes.

Spider-Man: One More Day and the Clone saga are a good place to start for Spidey : )

I'm reading these paperback collections. There's 4, with 2 short story collections. Which order do the short stories fit in?
Aiden Young
A lot of publishers outside DC and Marvel are a good place to start as they generally have self contained stories that are only several issues long. So there's no reading 42 issues of something to get back story on multiple characters.
