the beginner’s guide to TEAM AMERICA by me, a total beginner
featuring steve rogers, bucky barnes, sharon carter, peggy carter, sam wilson, and natasha romanoff
↳ the basics:↳ next steps:
- captain america: man out of time (a retelling of captain america’s origin story)
- captain america, vol 5 (this is usually described as the definitive captain america run. which is up for debate, but it is the best way for a beginner to get into cap comics)
- black widow vol 4
- winter soldier
↳ deep cuts:
- mark gruenwald’s captain america (vol 1 #273-442)
- mark waid’s captain america (captain america, vol 1 #444-454, captain america vol 3)
- captain america: sentinel of liberty
- captain america and bucky: the life story of bucky barnes
- mythos: captain america
- captain america & the falcon
↳ bonus: avengers team comics recs for beginners
current ongoings:completed:
- mighty avengers (a current ongoing, probably the best team book marvel is putting out right now)
- avengers, (the current main avengers title. there are…a lot of avengers teams. this one is lead by captain america and iron man)
- new avengers (vol 1 is STUPID CUTE and is a good marvel team book that is pretty easy to follow along for the most part.)
- secret avengers #1-21 (don’t read past 21), also captain america and the secret avengers. both new avengers and secret avengers are older and some larger events affect both books, but light googling will help you figure out what’s happening if you get too confused.
- avengers assemble (avengers assemble is a great intro to avengers comics, especially if you’re familiar with the mcu but less so with 616. also note: this torrent contains 1-21 but the series goes to issue 25. I recommend starting at issue 9)
*note: I am giving you mostly torrent/download links. I am a big supporter of trying before you buy, though, so if you download these and like them, and if you can afford them, I highly recommend buying!!!!! comixology is the biggest (legal) resource for digital comics, and very handy if you don’t have access to a comic shop, but depending on your location, you can also find trades in your local bookstores or on amazon or ebay.
