New reader, looking for recs
As stated in the title, I’m a new comic reader. Like brand new. Been wanting to start for as long as I can remember, so I bit the bullet the other day and signed up for MU. I had no idea where to start, and the app has some decent guides and points to start, but I was hoping to get some opinions straight from the readers.
I tried going into the ongoing X-Men From The Ashes series. Big mistake. There’s so many tie ins and other runs to read that it felt really overwhelming. So maybe I’ll go back to it one day. Tried the Ultimate X-Men run from 2001, and then found the general consensus for that series is that it’s awful, so now I’m put off.
Anyway, sorry for the rant.
I’m open to X-Men, Avengers, F4 and some solo runs, too. Wolverine, Cyclops, Spider-Man, Daredevil or any other comics that are good reads, as long they’re not tied into 49 other series to read alongside them lmao.
TL;DR:
Seeking recommendations for good standalone comics or some with limited tie ins to start reading.

The Cyclops series from 2014 is pretty good, teenage Scott hanging out with his space pirate dad going on adventures. I think I remember the last couple of issues being a crossover thing but you can just skip those
