Here at Comic Book Herald, we like to respond to reader requests! And so, stepping aside from my X-Men chronologies, I’ve been asked to do a walk-through of the life and times of everybody’s favorite Cajun charmer, Gambit! I’m going to break this into eras, with the obvious starter being from his first appearance, Uncanny X-Men 266, through to the end of the Muir Isle Saga in Uncanny X-Men #280.

The Complete X-Men Reading Order Guide (Modern Marvel Comics Era)
Nothing in Marvel comics is as vast and sprawling as the universe of the X-Men.

Question of the Week: Where Should I Start With Guardians of the Galaxy?
Update 12.15.16: Comic Book Herald’s updated, complete Guardians of the Galaxy reading order

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?
Amazing Spider-Man Reading Order (Modern Marvel Era)
The Amazing Spider-Man is finally in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which can only mean one thing: It’s time for a Modern Marvel Spidey reading order guide!
I’ve already put together the Ultimate Spider-Man reading order (which is highly recommended for you webheads out there who’ve avoided the Ultimate Universe thus far), so it’s time to dive into Amazing Spider-Man. This is an occasionally complex continuity, so make sure you have plenty of spare web cartridges and possibly a clone nearby. We’re gonna be here a while: [Read more…] about Amazing Spider-Man Reading Order (Modern Marvel Era)
