I agree with used on the length, a shorter book will also lower the cost-of-entry bar for this second-chance run.

I agree with Daniel agreeing with used. I do want to read AvX, but that would be quite a bit to start with.
I went searching for a few other ideas, but nearly everyone I found is a lot longer than I thought they would be. I included them anyway along with page length. Most I haven't read yet, but I did include Kingdom Come and Marvels because I can't recommend them enough. Most are on par price-wise with what X-Men Noir was.
The Infinity Gauntlet, 256 pages
Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, 224 pages
Astonishing X-Men, 320 pages
The Marvels Project, 208 pages
Ultimates, vol 1, 160 pages
Batman: Arkham Asylum, 216 pages
Kingdom Come, 232 pages
Marvels, 248 pages

I've read through most of those, but I would be up for any of them.

700 free marvel comics via Comixology (website or app on iPhone and iPad).
Lets pick a series with a sizeable free chunk and read that.

I like free. Free is good.

| Those 700 free comics are all Issue #1s. So there's not exactly a sizable chunk of anything. |

Daredevil: The Man Without Fear sounds good to me. Yes? No? Yes?

Yes. Have you read it? I'm unapologetically a fan of Miller's superhero stuff, so I'm down.
Only problem, it's not on the app, but I can have a TPB on its way asap if chosen. |

I haven't read that one, but I've heard good things about it.

someone should link it for me so I don't accidentally buy the wrong thing.

| That's what I got, though I really like the first run cover from 1994 so I almost went with a used copy, but alas, similar price and free shipping. |

Same here. I got some big expenses coming up, so I may get it Friday if I can.

Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.
