Introduction to Comics
How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) | Patrick Willems
Consider your intent/commitment. Think about your favorite shows, movies, books, etc. Reading primarily for enjoyment or encyclopedic knowledge? Collecting? Have the time/resources to read 50 or 500 comics per character?
Don’t try to read everything at once. There’s too much. Forget about catching up, continuity, universes, etc. for now. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so they aren’t necessarily ideal starting points. Writers change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told. Remember, there are many great characters, creators, publishers, etc. to explore.
Pick an interesting character/team and seek their most popular/acclaimed stories. Focus on self-contained, complete stories in one corner of the universe. There will be unexplained references/characters, just persevere or Wiki. Don’t let the tangled web of shared-universe comics overwhelm you. Think of it like solving a jigsaw puzzle one small piece at a time until you finally see the big picture.
Discover your preferences and let them guide you. Don’t get stuck preparing/over-analyzing, just start reading. Do you like/dislike old/new comics? Specific writers/genres? Cartoony/realistic art? Familiar/weird concepts? References/self-contained? All-ages/mature content? Follow these instincts. Didn’t understand a reference? Maybe read that next.
Acquire/Buy comics:
Marvel
DC
You can skip to the 2016 re-launch with DC Universe: Rebirth and then any Rebirth series #1.

I'd start at the beginning, and go from there. Fables Vol. 1
Just a heads up, the series is a little slow to start out, but picks up quick and is a pretty good ongoing series. Good luck.
Fables $9.78 from Books/Manga list.
The Fables universe is relatively small. You can start with the main series and follow that for a while. This is the first volume.
Just go with the Vol 1, my local library has every one of them and I'm sure yours can probably loan them in for you if they don't have it.
This is the new standard Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/Fables-Legends-Exile-Vol-1/dp/140123755X/ref=sr_1_1
This is the Deluxe edition Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/Fables-Deluxe-Book-Bill-Willingham/dp/140122427X/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1499453667&sr=8-3&keywords=fables+vol+1
The difference is the Deluxe editions compile more arcs per book with slightly better paper quality but are a bit more expensive.
If you are reading for the first time, I'm excited for you. For my money, this is one of the top 5 greatest comic series of all time!
Here you go. They are really good. You should recognize everyone on this cover.
Fables: Legends in Exile, Vol. 1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/140123755X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_zXw7wb1FC87MY
Here ya go
The latest run on Wonder Woman is fantastic. Blood, Guts, and Iron are the first three collected TPBs. I think vol. 4 War is also out at this point.
Fables is one of my favorite ongoing comics, about Fable and Fairy Tale characters who've been driven out of their fairy tale homelands and are now living in New York. Snow White is a major player (and kind of a badass).

I get mine at a local comic book store.
You should start by buying the Graphic Novel versions. I believe they are up to vol 15. These collect the individual comics. The link is to amazon. You could also go to Barnes & Noble.
Legends in Exile is the first one.
Amazon link.
I couldn't really find anything on your list so I will suggest that if you like video games Mirror's Edge Catalyst your strong female woman in the future who the Free Runner I think it should be on everyone list (This can be found on my most wanted list)
I'm suggesting this for you. you should definitely read this since you're huge Once Upon a Time fan I will suggest a comic fables It takes place after all of the fairy tales have been exiled from their homeworld only to be thrust into the city of new york
Also while I'm suggesting things you might like here's another book [paper girls](https://smile.amazon.com/Paper-Girls-1-Brian-Vaughan/dp/1632156741/ref=pd_bxgy_14_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1632156741&pd_rd_r=MAPPK6XEG1AY0H60G7YE&pd_rd_w=QQ0gA&pd_rd_wg=omwOK&psc=1&refRID=MAPPK6XEG1AY0H60G7YE
) Just take my word for it me just giving you a synopsis for it would just ruin it
Balloons are fun
I hope this coming year will bring every success you deserve. Happy birthday.
here it is
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/140123755X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1407080394&sr=8-1
They average around 10$ a piece. With prime, I save at least $4 a book.
Add Fables! Because its amazing!!!
xkcd.com is fantastic, and one of the first comics I ever started reading.
Scott Pilgrim is a great series. Fables is fun. The Sandman series is incredible (I love both Neil Gaiman and the gorgeous artwork), Blankets is good, French Milk is one of my favorites, anything by Liz Prince is hilarious/very true-to-life, but my all-time, end-all be-all favorite is Local
PS: I told my husband, who initially got me interested in comics, about this /r/askreddit/ post and he said, "well, is it a boy or a girl asking?" I don't know the answer to that, but just FYI - I'm a lady and some of these choices may be too girly for you if you're a dude.
They did this in "Fables-Legends in Exile" it was a good story
