StartHere Comics is the comic book app for readers — every series, every character, every new release, and a 30-year comic shop veteran named Clark in your pocket.
Built for the curious newcomer and the Wednesday regular alike.
Describe what you love — movies count! — and Clark recommends real comics with real reasons. No gatekeeping, no homework.
Search any series, character, or story arc. Full issue lists, creator credits, first appearances — Marvel, DC, and beyond.
See what hits shops this Wednesday and what's coming soon. Follow your series and get a heads-up on release morning.
Want to read, reading, read. Mark issues as you go, pick up right where you left off.
A taste of the recommendations Clark hands out all day.
The definitive origin: Bruce Wayne's first year under the cowl, Jim Gordon's first year in a corrupt Gotham. Grounded, gorgeous, and completely standalone — you need zero background. If you loved the Nolan films, this is the book they grew from. Follow it with The Long Halloween.
Peter Parker's story retold from scratch for modern readers — the single best "I've never read a comic" recommendation in superhero comics. Warm, funny, heartfelt, and famously binge-able for over a hundred issues.
Thanos gets the Gauntlet, snaps his fingers, and half the universe vanishes — twenty-seven years before the movies. A complete, self-contained cosmic epic that still hits. The perfect first "event" comic.
The book that rebuilt DC's cosmic corner — space cops, an emotional spectrum of power rings, and stakes the size of galaxies. Designed as a jumping-on point; it leads straight into the legendary Sinestro Corps War.
Currently in development. The database, the release calendar, and Clark are already working — polish is underway. Check back soon.
