THE COMIC CODE [NEW COMICS] - Marvel Now!

Getting into reading and collecting comics can seem difficult to the newcomer, especially terms, codes and jargon that new readers may need to know...

Finding a good place to start a comic is difficult.  Even a #1 can (and often does) continue on from another comic, series or event.  Most of the time the comic companies make it difficult to know which are and which aren't good stepping on points.  Marvel changed all that but adding a banner to their relaunched titles.  But once again, this is comic code.  Regular readers will get it, but it's meaningless to those new to comics.  So let's look at the code:  Marvel Now!
