Punisher MAX Vol. 1-10

oh yeah, Punisher MAX is for adults! lots of adult content there, if you know what I mean. but if you're interested in the Punisher, then this is what you're looking for

[Iron Maiden]

You might want to try Ed Brubaker's Reborn 5 issue mini series. Cap in stuck in time and reliving highlights from his past.

Well, if you fancy Deadpool, there's a trade that covers his first appearance and mini-series.
When it comes to Punisher, you should pick up the Punisher MAX trades by Garth Ennis beginning with Welcome Back Frank and work your way up... (they're fantastic, by the way.)
Wolverine is a bit more tricky as there's a lot of books available and the quality varies. I'd recommend looking on Amazon.com and see what takes your fancy really.

The Tpb Weapon X by Barry windsor smith is a great read & gives you a decent background on Wolvie.

Yep, that's a good one and it does indeed delve into Logan's backstory.

Hey,
first of all im sorry to clog up the forum with one of those " what should i read.." threads that we all hate, but i really am eager to get into some Marvel titles.

To be honest, im fairly new to comics but i know DC alot more than Marvel, im looking for titles to get into involving Spiderman, Daredevil and Iron man. Unfortunately im one of those perfectionist who likes to start a title near to the beginning of its run or new start on the run, so any new titles with these characters would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks!

You could try Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, it's only up to issue two and is quite good by all accounts.

[Talisman]

Nova and GotG are both really fun reads, and they aren't too far along to start at their beginnings. Incredible Hercules is super fun. Incredible Hulk just got a lot better.Avengers: The Initiative has been aces lately. Secret Warriors are great and Fantastic Four has gotten a hell of a lot better in the last 2 issues since Hickman came on board.

Amazing Spider-Man is Marvel comic best book to read IMO.
Quality and funny stories with some cool painted artwork is pretty much guaranted in ASM in the last months.
I would recommend read the begining of last arc of stories in ASM with the return of Black Cat in ASM#606.
And after get the Essentials Spider-Man and Tradepaperback of the best stories in ASM since issue 546 of the same title,in which the Spider-Man stories got better.

New Avengers by Brian Bendis and Stuart Immonem is a cool title as well.

Daredevil,Hulk,Hercules,Mighty Avengers,Avengers-Innitiative,Thor,Captain America are great reads as well.

RUN, RIGHT NOW, and get Daredevil by Brian Michael Bendis Omnibus Vol 1. My favorite run in comics. Period. (Of course, the Miller and Brubaker trades are great as well. But I like Bendis the best.)

For Spider-Man, some of us love the new "feel" of the book, others don't. I don't. I'd try ASM by JMS Vol 1, and follow his run. He was controversial for some, but a lot of fans loved his run. I own the whole thing, and love rereading it often. As someone whose favorite hero is Spider-Man, I cannot recommend JMS's run highly enough.

Enjoy!
