Any reason why your not interested in the vs. ones?

I'm just tired of feeling pulled into cross overs. Not to mention i've never been a fan of the Avengers (as a team).

I'm new to this but I want to torrent the X-Men comics from the beggining. Like the Original X-Men and Giant X-Men to the Phoenix Saga and all of that.

The only problem is I have no clue which torrent is the right one and what I should download.

I would also prefer that I could put these comics on a tablet.

If anyone can help me figure out how to do this or direct me to a link with the original x-men comics and so forth I would appreciate it.

I always have trouble with this.. I never know what to recommend since comic books are over the place.

If you wanna try Marvel.. I think Civil War is a good story to delve into.

DC's reboot has been pretty solid. and you should be able to jump into most of them with very little problem. my recommendations

Justice League
Batman
Batman & Robin
Flash
Wonder Woman
Action Comics
Green Lantern


A little away from the Justice League and their members, Swamp Thing has probably been the best book out of the entire relaunch, and Animal Man is right up there too.

with Marvel, it depends, Civil War might be the best jumping off point for the entire universe, but i can give you better recommendations if you have a specific character you want to read

Animal Man has been very good. I have gotten Swamp Thing recommended to me by several people. I am going to dive into it eventually. I have also been reading the new Winter Soldier ongoing.

My monthly pulls are:
Uncanny X-Force
Winter Soldier
Animal Man

I pull trades periodically for:
Chew

I am also making my way through:
100 Bullets
The Chronicles of Wormwood

Also try out: Pride of Baghdad

I'm reading Avengers vs X-Men (using this reading order - http://www.squidoo.com/avengers-vs-x-men) and so far i'm enjoying it. I haven't read a lot of X-Men lately so i'm not sure if Cyclops is being written out of character or not, but he's definitely coming off like a mad man.

Despite having not read many of the Captain America books, i'm in love with the character. I used to think he was cheesy, but after reading Civil War (over a year ago) the dude has jumped from not liked to one of my top five heroes. So far i'm liking what i've read of him in AvX. Unlike many I enjoyed the Captain America movie a lot as well and liked how Steve Rogers was portrayed.

I'm at "011 Avengers #25", btw.

They have been attempting to pull of the crossover about 3 years. I initially thought it would be derailed when DC rebooted the universe.

I think I'll start with the Civil War due to the high praise everyone's giving it. Might try 'Animal Man' and mabye a Batman title as well (favorite hero as a kid)
