Welcome to StartWithComics—I’m Joseph.
Whether you’re just dipping your toes into comics or trying to navigate decades of superhero history, you’re in the right place.
I created StartWithComics to be the beginner-friendly guide I wish I had when I first started reading. Comics can be overwhelming—reboots, alternate timelines, crossover events, dozens of series—and finding a good starting point often feels like its own superhero quest.
That’s where this site comes in.
What You’ll Find Here
- Step-by-step beginner guides for Marvel and DC Comics
- Character-focused reading orders (Spider-Man, Batman, etc.)
- Event breakdowns and continuity explainers
- Handpicked “best of” lists to get you hooked on iconic runs
- Zero gatekeeping—just fun, clear guidance
I break things down in a way that’s easy to follow, no matter your background. Whether you’re coming from the movies, shows, or just pure curiosity, I’m here to help you start with confidence.
Who Am I?
I’m Joseph—a longtime comic reader, digital strategist, and lover of all things narrative. I believe comic books are one of the most powerful storytelling formats we have—and everyone deserves an easy on-ramp into that universe.
When I’m not writing guides or analyzing timelines, I’m probably re-reading a Daredevil arc, creating content, or testing new ways to make this site better for beginners like you.
