Update 12.15.16: Comic Book Herald’s updated, complete Guardians of the Galaxy reading order

A bit late with this week’s “Question of the Week” not due to lack of awesome questions (seriously you guys went nuts!), but because of some other comic book writing commitments. That’s right, your fearless Comic Book Herald mastermind has taken has talents to South Beach! Wait, what’s that, it’s 90 degrees and humid down there? Scratch that, I’m sweating just thinking about it.

You will find me reviewing comics on Tuesdays and Thursday over at Capeless Crusader, though. And on occasion, I provide comic book suggestions on Ript Apparel’s blog (if you like custom tees for $10, you gotta give this site a look).

This leads me to today’s question, which I covered in some detail over at Ript: Where do you start with Guardians of the Galaxy comics? [Read more…] about Question of the Week: Where Should I Start With Guardians of the Galaxy?

This week’s question is a two-parter:

I noticed that Civil War: Peter Parker, Spider Man ( sensational) is in the trade list but nowhere to be seen in the issue by issue list. Where do you think they should go? Also how does the death ( and life) of Cap America flow into this at the end? ~ Deb

Question of the Week: What’s a Good Ultimate Spider-Man Reading Order?

Update 4/24/26 — Hey! Hey you! If you’re here looking for the new Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto – the series that ran from 2024 to 2026 – go straight to Comic Book Herald’s Ultimate Universe 2.0 comics guide! If you’re here for the Ultimate Spider-Man series that started in 2000 and then transitioned to Miles Morales in 2011, stay here! Enjoy the comics!

May 2nd, 2014 saw the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (may we all live long and forget), and for many comic fans, that’s the superlative most frequently associated with our favorite webhead: The Amazing Spider-Man. It’s the title that Stan and Steve built, and it’s the most established for good reason.

Nonetheless, it’s the relatively pubescent Ultimate Spider-Man that will be influencing the film most strongly, and to my mind it’s Ultimate Spider-Man that new fans of Spidey should be most interested in catching up on.

I tweeted as much on Good Friday, and that leads us to this week’s question of the week: [Read more…] about Question of the Week: What’s a Good Ultimate Spider-Man Reading Order?
