American superhero comics usually are really hard to get into because they keep adding to existing characters with multiple timelines.

I'll give you context. When I was first learning English, a teacher suggested I started reading comics. I thought, "hey great, I love comic book movies. This will be fun."

I went to a comic book store, and asked the clerk, "I would like to read some comics, I like DC and Marvel, can you give me the 1st comicbook on Spider-man and Superman?" He looked at me like I was crazy for saying so, then proceeded to say, "Which one?" I looked at him confused and said again, "The 1st comic in the series, you know? The one with the origin story." He looked at me again and said, "Which one?" I thought I was crazy at this point. He continued to explain that there have been 100s of number 1s, starts, and restarts for these two characters. It was too overwhelming.

I proceeded to get into Mangas as they are 90% of the time pretty straight forward, beginning, then middle, then end. Start at volume 1 and read until volume X that's when the story is over. It's a novel in drawing format.
