New to comics, I would like some recommendations please!

Hello, I am new to comics and comic vine. I need help finding some good comics.

I like Batman, he's my favorite and I am currently reading the new 52 for Batman.

I'm also interested in the flash, green lantern, spiderman, deadpool, and captain america.

I am opened to almost all types of comics, except any with magic, no gods, no zombies or vampires, making the dead come back to life with something that isnt sci fi related, spirits, or anything of that nature.

I would like to learn everything I can about the DC and maybe even the marvel universe. How do I find out everything I need to know?

So far the only comic I got that isn't a batman comic is the new amazing spiderman comic that just came out.

Thanks! :)

EDIT: Also how do I know about all the different types of attacks and weapons in the future if I ever want to write fanfic, or just gain a basic knowledge period.

EDIT: I'd like to know the villain's origins, as well as the hero's.

@kataztrah: I am going to bed soon, but I will give you some recommendation tomorrow. But if you want to learn more about the Marvel U, a good place to start would be Busieks run on Avengers from the late 90's. That's how I got into Marvel Comics.

This book has close to every hero in the Marvel U in it.

The story starts with several attacks on anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who has ever been a Avenger at some point. They all get together to try and figure out what the heck is going on.

The series has a lot of the Marvel U's history, but the story still has a good flow. One of my favorite team-books. HIGHLY recommended.

Here I things I've read and enjoyed, original post here: http://www.comicvine.com/forums/gen-discussion-1/fun-comics-1561068/?page=1#0

@waezi2: Thanks!

Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Elektra and Silver Surfer are some good titles that started recently. :)

Thor: God of Thunder, All New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, Detective Comics(Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato), Green Arrow(Jeff Lemire onward), Daredevil, and Savage Wolverine

If you're interested in pre52 continuity and Batman, you should read Year One and the Dark Knight Returns as they set the tone for modern era Batman.

If you liked the CA2 movie, read Brubaker's run on Captain America starting from the Winter Soldier Arc.

If you want to read Flash comics, you can read the entire new52 run for new Barry Allen material. If you want pre52 comics, I suggest you start with Mark Waid's Flash run.

For Deadpool I recommend Joe Kelly's Deadpool classic.

For Spider-Man if you can get the Masterworks or Essentials then you can start from the beginning. Or else you could jump in from Dan Slott's Amazing Spider-Man run to get up to speed with the current ASM.

Thank you all!

Not exactly what I'd call a comic book without gods or magic...

@kataztrah: IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic series is really good, first issue is free on www.comixology.com

@kataztrah: Question: Do you want the n52 DC, or before?

Moon knight and Magneto

@waezi2: Open to any, thank you.

@kataztrah: If you are going to read pre n52, I would recommend two series that would be good to be introduced you to the DCU:

JLA Year One is the story about the Justice Leagues first year, and has some DC history in it too. And the writer is the long-time fan favorite Mark Waid, who had some of the best run on DC.

I would also recommend 52, that is about how the world manege to work without Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman for a whole year, and therefor has it's focus on second and third stringers, and is about the whole DCU. NO ONE is not mentioned in it.

You should maybe look into marvel unlimited. It's got loads you can look through.

Also red hood and the outlaws but a little mysticism not a lot though.
