So as a marvel fan I used to read a bit of comics. My first marvel comic I ever read was Spider-Man. What about everyone else?

It was either that one or the one with the Fantastic 4 where on the cover he is in the Baxter Building in a glass cylinder
Superhero wise, it was X-Men Vol 2 #12 from 1992. 3 issues later, I get thrown in the deep end with X-Cutioner's Song part 3, meeting Stryfe, Cable, X-Force, X-Factor, Apocalypse, Mr Sinister and a buncha other X-Men. Spent years tracking down parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12.
My uncle gave it to me before he passed away as he reminded me it was the first comic I ever read. I didn't even know he kept it for so long. I sent it out to be graded at a 8.5. That book will die with me.
Mine was marvel presents no 1. Had 3 or 4 separate stories inside but the main one was about wolverine. Immediately hooked and it was only 7 or 8 years old
March 1963
It had been from my dad's old collection of comics in a crate he'd kept in our basement along with a lot of others. He had some old Star Wars ones in there too, but that was the first Marvel Superhero one I read. I really have no idea where it is anymore.

Ultimate Spider-Man? I think
It was the one about peter Parker in the ultimates universe
I believe that's when Magneto ripped Wolverine's adamantium skeleton out when they were on Astroid M.
I didn't continue reading comics from them. Stopped and picked it up again in college. (that's when Morrison was finishing his run on the X-Men) and then I stopped again when I moved out of the country for vet school and started again when I got back in 2011.
I remember getting Fantastic Four Special Edition #1 (1985): "Sub-Mariner Vs. The Human Race!" one year for my birthday. It was a nice 52-page comic, and had special posters of the Four and Namor that I'm glad I didn't remove from the book.
Even since then, I've been collecting comics, and now I work on a desk covered in the first issues of Deadpool, Moon Knight, and other characters I really enjoy.
It was very dark, and a lot of the very evident metaphors went over my 6 year old at the time, but I've read it many times since, and it's probably one of the Comic Books stories that have stuck with me since then.
It wasn't until House of M/Messiah Complex/Messiah War/Second Coming that I found a series I liked even more than this one.
His son, he must of been 20 years old was collecting Comic Books. He had hundreds, maybe a few thousand comic books, on shelves in his basement.
I dont remember which comic I read, but i probably read about 10 comics that night.
As a kid this was probably one of my favorite night growing up. Following this night, I started a collection of my own, and never looked backed.
I also had every single Spider-Man comic that feature Venom that Todd McFarland (the Spawn artist) drew. Those were awesome.
I ended up deciding on Marvel Zombies Vol 1 as my first buy and I have not been able to stop since.
The recent announcement of Zombies coming back in October has been very exciting, kinda like going back to my roots a bit.
Seems like @Kabam Vydious and myself share some comic book background
I'm lucky enough to still have my collection which started in the early '90s, I stopped maybe 15 years later and there are probably 7 or 800 in total.
I was getting them from the USA because in Australia, they were all reprints done locally, months behind and most of the special covers were not reproduced. The postage was a killer though.
