Graphic novels and comic books can come in any genre, but the most popular types of graphic novels and comic books include manga, superhero, personal narrative, comedy and horror.

Where do I begin reading Batman comics?

You could jump all the way back to the very first Batman series, but the 1940s is a big leap. Batman: Year One is the easiest modern starting point, as it’s literally the origin story of Batman. The Long Halloween is also a good entry point to get a feel for the workings of the world.

Where do I begin reading X-Men comics?

X-Men: Grand Design, followed by the game-changing duology House of X & Powers of X.

Where do I begin reading Spider-Man comics?

There are a great many places to enter the Spider-Man comic book universe. You can go back to the 1950s and ground yourself where it all began, but if you’re looking for more modern art and storytelling, you can start with Spider-Man: Big Time, The Amazing Spider-Man or jump right to Miles Morales with Ultimate Comics Spider-Man.

Where do I begin reading Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics?

This is one where the best place is the beginning, with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection.
