4. Amazing Spider-Man: Coming Home

 Writer: J. Michael Straczynski

There are certain standards when it comes to Spider-Man. One of them is how Peter Parker got his powers. Being bit by a radioactive spider is an origin story that everyone knows. The comic book world was thrown for a loop when Ezekiel proposed a question that no one considered. What if it wasn’t the radioactivity that gave Peter his powers and it was the spider itself?

There was more to Amazing Spider-Man: Coming Home, but this is the most important part. The Spider-Totem changed the way anyone with spider powers would be written. It wasn’t just Peter. Jessica Drew, Miles Morales, and even Peter’s clones are connected to the Great Web. If you want to get into Spider-Man comics, start with this series.

3. Vision

Writer: Tom King

Leave it to Tom King to take a character that’s known for lacking personality (Vision) and make his series a must-read. All Vision wanted was the same love that he had with Wanda Maximoff. Since he couldn’t have kids biologically, he created them. He also built a wife and home to complete the perfect suburban life. Unfortunately, Vision discovers that creating a family doesn’t equal a perfect life.

This writer started Vision and couldn’t believe how dark the story was. There are discussions on what it means to be human, feelings of inadequacy, and self-harm. All things could be triggering. Hopefully, a reader will start this series and come out with a positive outlook on life or realize it’s ok to seek help.
