I'm not big into comics, but I would be down to follow this 7 part piece.
Sounds like we might finally get to see if Spider Man can kick wolverine's ass. The answer is of course he can.
Nah, but it was most recent.
And, an AWESOME movie, to boot.

Hellboy graphic novels are entertaining enough for me to look at them. But this artform hasn't matured much in over 50 years past the art.Originally Posted by Kidnemo

The ideas and narrative styles have grown progressively complex and experimental both in the mainstream and underground comics. There has been some great things done with comics since the 80s and the only excuse for not appreciating the artform is ignorance.Originally Posted by Andrew

Nowadays it's relatively simple to keep up with comics barring the wait time for the trades and the fact that TPB books have been becoming alot more popular and successful as a business model for Marvel and DC.Originally Posted by Bacon McShig
Case in point Grant Morrison's New X-Men. It had a beginning, a middle and an end. Alot of Morrison fans just left the title after it ended and took it's ending as is, which is fine. You could also read the trades/hardcovers and enjoy them on their own merits, I used to go to the library and read a ton of DC trade paperbacks and I loved it since I pretty much enjoyed them for free and had the whole story in front of me.
House of M also has a beginning, middle and end the way Bendis does the narrative and can be enjoyed on it's own. The trade paperbacks out collect pretty much all the involved crossover books with the additional supplemental material (like a cool HoM fake newspaper).
Civil War is a great jumping on point. Mark Millar (who writes the more politically driven Ultimates) is writing this and seeing as how he's great with political stuff and superheroes it fits him like a tee. It's 7 issues with some good crossover goodness, If you can enjoy stuff like Secret Wars and the Phoenix Saga I think you can enjoy Civil War.
Here's the particular forum for the event that has Tom Brevoort (major Marvel editor) answering your questions and so on: http://forums.comicbookresources.com...splay.php?f=58
