Ultimate Spider-Man. the first big collection with like 20 issues. got a bunch of stuff after that, and mainly aim for bronze and silver age now for big 2 stuff. the 90s Marvel and DC cartoons got me into the characters to begin with
Lucas Foster
Technically I read issues when I was really young but I eventually moved on. If you want a story I was stuck in hospital for a while a few years ago and my Dad and I had been talking about comic books a few days before my 19th birthday, so when the day rolled around he happened to walk past a Forbidden Planet and bought me this, which was the one I'd been talking about
Levi Stewart
Parents were so mad I spent my money on these. Guess they knew Bendis' future work?
Isaac Butler
I read a lot of comic strips as a kid, but pic related is what got me back into comics as an adult. Now I'm a big elitist prick who prefers black and white indies to capeshit
Gabriel Jones
This one is litteraly the first book i bought alongside TDKR. Downward spiral from there
Xavier Russell
that's not elitist. it's just a preference. If indiefags didn't think like Redditors, conversations would be much easier
Adrian Wilson
Nah they're just mad your taste is shit
Julian Young
Remender's Venom.
Took a character that could have just been a tacticool design and made a book about alcoholism, growing up with an abusive father, and giving up everything to be a hero. Bought every issue as it came out and never really thought about how lucky I was that the first ongoing I was drawn to ended up being so good.
Aaron Adams
This along woth Junji Ito and Watchmen. I was spoiled from get-go.
I read these first but wasn't too into them.

Sinestro Corps War,

Wasn't really one in particular, my oldest brother always had comics around (he's 50 now, so it was lots of the then-modern hot stuff like Liefeld X-Force, McFarlane Spidey and Jim Lee X-Men) and my other older brother had a Dreamcast with Marvel vs Capcom 2.
Jordan Sanchez
I was one of those pretentious people who thought all big two comics was not literature and not work reading unless you were a kid. So I just stuck with Heavy Metal for the longest time
Josiah Bennett
This one right here. bought #1 and 2 when they came out. Every kid had some random comics, but this is what turned me into a Wednesday Warrior. I now have over 8200 singles, and 700 trades....
James Roberts
Why do people here bitch and moan when people get into comics through superhero movies but when MvC does it it's this great thing?
Cooper Rogers
Maximum Carnage, I played the snes game at my friend’s house, than a small comic / card shop opened up in town and they had the whole collected series. So over the course of a summer, 8 year old me did so many chores to earn the money to buy those comics. It was a blast man, good times
Jason Adams
For me, it was Hellboy.
Samuel Bailey
Not that user but people who came in through more comicy secondary material tend to bitch less about differences and crying about not being able to find out what to buy. I started with 90s Marvel cartoons and have a healthy amount of stuff from different eras/characters. An MCU secondary wouldn't be able to even start beyond whatever the hot new thing is
John Morris
lets be honest, most people watched big 2 cartoons before they ever read a comic.
Evan Perry
Pretty sure it was this
Eli Reed
Anthony Flores
I know people hate this phrase but 90s kids like myself without a doubt. I remember the days of Spidey, X-men, Batman Beyond, Static, JL/U. Part of it was not having any comic shops nearby and the other was those shows kicked ass
Nolan Campbell
She has a weird looking face.
Levi Baker
What a Chin
Adrian Thomas
None I hate comics just here for cartoons
Samuel Brooks
Forever Evil
Samuel Cook
Ultimates vol 2 for me
Levi Davis

My gateway media was the Red Hood animated movie because I was a big Supernatural fan. After that, I torrented and read most of Post-Crisis Batman. Really fell in love with Dick, Tim, Cass and Stephanie.
The books that stopped me from being one of those 'just a Batfag' people was Whedon's X-Men and reading Spider-Man from the beginning to a little after Gwen's death which was max 60's-70's college double dating comfy. I don't know why people read gay ugly Ultimate Spider-Man instead of actual peak aesthetic Spider-Man.

So, you're from the shittier half of the board.
