After a long time of trying, my friend finally got me into reading comics. I just finished reading through the Ultimate universe over the past month, and I really enjoyed it for the most part (Jeph Loeb...). Now that I'm used to the general concept (for lack of a better word) of comic book reading, I want to make my way into mainstream continuity. Being a fan of the X-Men, I was thinking of getting into Uncanny and start getting the new issues as they came out.
Anyway - my question now:
Where would be the best place to start reading from, to catch up to the current releases without losing too much general knowledge. Eventually, I'd like to read from the beginning, but that's not something I'm ready to start now.
I was thinking maybe start with House of M, mainly because I've heard good things about it, and I like Bendis's work in the Ultimate U. Would I be able to just pick up a House of M TPB and be able to jump into it?
