Hey, I'm the anon who asked about marvel. (I actually didn't mean to go on anon!) I totally meant comics haha, I'm very much already into the cinematic universe. All I've read is Civil War and I loved it but there were also so many characters who I had no idea who they were, or backstories I couldn't follow. I basically love all the cinematic characters, (spidey included, x-men to a lesser degree), mostly so Tony, Steve, and Clint. Where should I start looking?
Whoa man, Civil War’s a heavy place to start, but thats cool we can work our way backwards, everything will fall into place that you don’t understand once you read all the tie ins and back stories. The perk about these things is that Marvel tends to interlace their stories very well (which can be a bit confusing in terms of continuity sometimes but ey~)Â
If I remember in your last ask you asked how to start reading them. So first things first, digital may be easier.Â
Step 1: Download a comic book reading program on your computer! (CDisplay, Comicrack and Sumatra PDF are the ones that I’ve used. CDisplay seems to be the easiest one to use for me.)Â
Step 2: Where to find comics? Comiclist and Comicvine provide release dates and news, and comixology is really useful as an app on your phone too where you can buy comics, as well as going through Amazing. Comicdb is super duper useful. You can also get Marvel Unlimited which is worth it.Â
Now we’re all ready to read~Â
Okay first lets tackle Iron Man.Â
This is a very useful trade reading order.Â
Essential Iron Man is awesome to have, it has quite a few volumes and is in order.Â
Invincible Iron Man vl1  #114-157 (Demon in a Bottle is my favourite arc, and it’s included in issues #120-128)
Revenge of the Mandarin [Actually, I’d rec the entirety of vl3, it was amazing. If you can get your hands on the whole thing then please do. - it includes the living armour arc and a hell of a lot more.)
Invincible Iron Man #160-208
Iron Man / Captain America 1998
Iron Man Iron Age (there’s only 2 issues)
Captain America: Casualties of War
Civil War: The Confession
Iron Man: Director of SHIELD (vl4 #15-18)
Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin
Guardians of the Galaxy vl3 (if you want to see a lil extra Tony :3)
NB: I wouldn’t rec the recent series because it’s re-writing a lot of stuff that has been pre-established in what I’ve recommended [same with Captain America]. :C

Also there are lots of what ifs, ‘What if: Fallen Son’ is pretty good if you liked civil war. But there are LOTS of what ifs actually, if you want any of those give me a shout and I’ll give you a list.Â
Okay now I’ll admit, I don’t know much in terms of Hawkeye so I’m going to link you to this post over here which has recommended reading.Â
