I've never read a single comic book in my life. I was thinking about reading Marvel/DC comic books because I've enjoyed some of the movie output but there's such an overwhelming amount of material out there I simply don't know where to start.

Thanks.

I'm in the EXACT same position you're in when it comes to DC Comics and some of the smaller companies such as Dynamite.

A suggestion that I have for you is to pick up either the DC or Marvel Encyclopedias, which are basically biographies of nearly every character in their respected universe. Start out by reading the bios of the most famous characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America etc.) and if you don't find them interesting, start making your way done by reading about related characters until you find someone whose story you find interesting and want to track down & read their adventures.
