So my wife is probably going to thihk I am a huge nerd for posting this (she already thinks of me as one, so no big), BUT I have been out of comic book reading for a while now. I quit sometime around college, partly because I thought it was childish, and partly because I had to focus on the books with no fun pictures.

I've been wanting to get back into it recently. My education in graphic design and the graphic elements I have rediscovered in comics have given me a fresh interest in the whole idea of comics. I have been telling myself that I would get my self a subscription and pick up where I left off but SO much has happened in comics (specifically in the Marvel Universe) since 2002.

Does anyone know of a good title that could ease me back into this? Something that I could get into with little to no background on what has been going on in the past 7 years (specifically in the Marvel Universe, although DC and Image are acceptable publishers as well, and I am open if it is a good read).

I really used to be into Uncanny X-Men (who wasn't?) during Joe Mad's run. Also I love anything Spiderman, but I am also open to other good titles. Maybe there is a new book coming out that you think would be worth starting out on? The whole Dark Reign thing going on in Marvel really interests me.

Good story, and fantastic art are absolutely important. Any suggestions, any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Read "The Watchmen" if you haven't already. The comic is just as awesome as the movie, if not more so. Also, try "Wanted" the comic is NOTHING like the movie.
