Hey! I created a site for simple comic guides for new readers, with links to books. Send me any comic questions you have!

@vicktuh85 @Thor_Odinson @HeritageAuction Slabbing was invented 62 years after this comic came out.

@ComicBookHerald At the beginning of HoXPoX, stuck in line for the NYCC X-Men panel, with the first issue on my tablet, my wife could not bring herself to read it. It doesn't bother me at all, but now I know for sure haha.

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

@NyxFleece Good luck on your talk!

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

@def_not_kyle Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I've definitely been on a bit of a writing hiatus, but thanks for the push to keep writing! What have you been reading?

@JudahTheHammer I should amend that to say "Less variant covers." Comics are a storytelling medium. The focus should always be on the story inside the pages, not on the cover. Pin-ups inside by different artists are cool. But I find variant covers distract from that.

I have a Carl Reiner story that I hold very dear to me. I figured I'd share it today, on the day of his passing, because I hope it will bring some other people some joy the way it does me.

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

We don't. It's a masterpiece.

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

@cambriamath You're going to love it. They really nailed the characters / hideout and clearly respect the books.

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

The most beautiful record I own, thanks to @heyjenbartel

@de_brownpantha @RealRadReviews I know you're talking about the broader result but man did the opening act of endgame completely destroy my expectations. It was opening night with no spoilers though so maybe I was just lucky.

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

@ComicBookHerald All stories begin, "a group of ordinary people just like you join together to become something greater" and end "turns out everyone is related (usually literally) and were special all along and were connected their entire lives." :|

@DavidBWriter Sorry I originally missed this tweet! War of the Realms was a hard one for me to navigate as well. What did you end up finding that helped?

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

Caught up on some series this week. West Coast Avengers and Daredevil were by far the standouts, but the Back Widow story was also fantastic.

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

@Bully_FU Having not read it, I would bet solid $$$ that this book Jason Aaron of Thor fame will be an incredible place to start https://t.co/6RaEjhgkbs with a second book coming in 2020! Wish I had first-hand advice for you. Red Sonja I have absolutely no idea :(

[Robert @ WhereToStartReading @startcomics]

@Bully_FU I LOVE Archie. I actually read a decent amount of independent books, but there's usually no need for a where-to-start guide? I know my site is very Marvel-centric, and I do have ideas for fixing that. Conan tweet to follow.

Feige: So the X-Men fuck now?

Quesada: Like rabbits, sir.

Feige: And it sells well?

Quesada: Better than anything in the market, sir.

Feige: ...whatever, this is the least important part of my job.

@ComicBookHerald Can we get one on shrinking your collection? eBay seems like such a pain and most comics I want to give to good homes aren't worth the trouble...
