Where to start with Avengers?

[Paladin573]

Avenger issue where the Avengers fight the hulk. The Vision phases through a mountain and the Hulk "smashes" and follows the Vision. The mountain I beleive falls down on the Hulk. Early issues.

Thanks

FOUND IT not the Avengers title but-
The Incredible Hulk #128 - And In This Corner...

Hey guys,

Been reading Secret Avengers since 21.1 and loving it so have decided to try the other Avengers titles, will get Avengers from the point one they have soon 23.1? perhaps but where do i start with New Avengers and Avengers Academy?

Ive purchased Disassembled abd Secret War to read too but where in New Avengers and Avengers Academy is last/next hop on point?

For old school epic Avenger titles, I can't recommend Kang Dynasty by Busiek highly enough. It rocks your red hot chili pepper socks off.

Has Roger Stern's Hulk run ever been collected?

Any good Captain America stories set during WW2?

I'm coming back to the Avengers after a long time away, I left after House of M but with AvX on the way I want to catch up on some relevant stories. I've been reading up on Captain America and Iron Man on Wikipedia. I read Siege and Civil War, skipped Fear Itself. I'm waiting on Children Crusades to finish. Any help would be nice.

Skipping Fear Itself is a pretty good idea lol.

I suggest reading these to catch up on the Avengers. I've included a mix of stuff that's important (i.e. events) and stuff that's actually good (e.g. Avengers: The Initiative). I've included a line break at each event.

Thank you very very much.

You're welcome!

By the way, even if you're skipping Fear Itself, do yourself a favour and get Journey Into Mystery: Fear Itself and Fear Itself: The Fearless. They're excellent, and don't require you to have read the main event.

Not sure where you live, but you may also want to check out your local library.

The ones in my area have large comic/gn selections.

To add to that, the Avengers Academy FI tie in is really good too and does not require you to really read the main book.

Avengers Academy isn't so important to catching up but it is a really good series. And features Quicksilver, Pym, Tigra and now Hawkeye (now) working out of the west coast avengers compound training young heroes.

Another great way to "catch up" is a Marvel digital Unlimited Subscription. A HUGE archive of Avengers and others, i think its like 50-60 bucks a year. And has stuff as recent as a year ago. (sometimes more recent)

I've found that libraries are great for taking naps, especially when you're between "house" or kicked out of your current arrangement.

[Bingo!]

Telos suggestions above are great. I haven't read Fearless, but the reviews are that it's far better than the event it spun out of.

Am I the only one who enjoyed it? I didn't see it so much as an event, as opposed to just a Thor and the Avengers storyline. It makes it read far more enjoyable than what a lot of jaded people have been complaining about, and I say this as a avid Fraction-basher. In fact, I've enjoyed it so much, I've began to pick up The Mighty Thor and re-picking up Invincible Iron Man. I also enjoyed some of the side stories, like what they had in New Mutants and the Uncanny X-Men issues (which has become so much better since fraction left, imo)
