Anonymous asked: OK, this is probably, it's a stupid question. I know pretty much zero about comic books, except for the films. How would you suggest I dive into this world? I'm more of an XMEN fan. Sorry, I feel really lame. Thanks though!

First off, don’t feel lame. Everybody has to start someplace.

Secondly, while there are easier entry points than others, I would start with whatever catches your eye and seems of interest to you.

As an X-MEN fan, I might aim you at the first collection of ALL-NEW X-MEN as a good starting point, for example. But there are plenty of others.

Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men is a good hopping on point, too. It’s where I started up again after a decade or so away from the series and didn’t feel lost at all.
