As someone who nothing of comics beyond the average person, what are some god-tier stories to read and how should I even get into comics? It all seems so convoluted like you have to have been following it for a while.
Please help

Well I always liked Spiderman growing up. Especially since I watched that 90s cartoon 24/7. Aside from that, just about anything is good as long as it's not Green Lantern.
I'd even read outside of Marvel/DC.

I'd recommend reading spider-man from the beginning just because when you get into the 70s that's when the story gets deeper. But if you can't handle 60s camp than read the ultimate books it gets you to some modern feel but its just a reinterpretation of those older stories. Honestly though your best bet is to just go to barns and nobel and browse through the big books read what you find interesting, if you like it buy it. Then try to find a local comic book shop in your area there you should be able to find someone who can work with you face to face on finding something you like. Or at least ust dig through their long boxes full of single issue comics, most comic shops sell old floppies for around a buck a pop buy what looks cool and go form there

Read the original Ditko Spider-Man run which has been collected a bunch of different ways. One of the best comic book runs of all time.

If you want to get into comics, i would advise against going into super-heroes. Even with a character you live, the quality/quantity ratio is abyssimal. My advice would be to check out self-contained indie stories, the likes of which you can find at Vertigo or Image. search for "top 10/50/100/whatever Vertigo/Image comics" and pick whatever seems to be in your alley.
You get the advantage to see stories where the creators own their characters and plotlines and bring all of that to a close when they finished what they wanted to tell. Also you get to see stories more original than your average super-hero storyline.
TL;DR don't bother with super-heroes, go for the creator-owned indie shit, it's where the real talent is.

All request and recommendation threads belong on Shame on you for spoonfeeding. By not encouraging the OP to use Google for easily answerable requests and recommendations, you're giving him and other like minded retards the impression that making shitty, rule breaking threads like this one is acceptable, thereby reducing this board's quality.

I'd argue that it's not exactly a request thread, more of a recommendation thread. he didn't make a post asking "anyone have a link for that shrek/gravity falls crossover", he asked for good comics to read.
