10 Comics To Read After Seeing Avengers: Endgame
It'll be years until the Avengers next return, but there isn't a better time to get into comics!
While Avengers Endgame may not have really followed any one particular comic or even a handful of Avengers tales, there are plenty of threads that can be traced back to specific areas of the source material or ones which simply provide glimpses into how the future of the MCU may look.
As you will have no doubt seen by now, the credits of Endgame featured a rather hefty list of the many comic book writers and artists who inspired the movie. Infinity Gauntlet scribe Jim Starlin was recognised alongside the likes of Ed Brubaker, who co-created the Winter Soldier identity, while the likes of Jonathan Hickman, Kelly Sue DeConnick and countless others featured too.
While these mentions may well be a step in the right direction for giving creators the credit they deserve, actually going out and reading their works is probably the best way to show them such appreciation.
As such, whether you're a long-time reader or completely new to the medium, here are the comics that you should read once you've seen the finale to Marvel's on-screen Avengers saga.

10. New Avengers Volume 3: Secrets And Lies
This series is a brilliant place to start reading Avengers comics anyway, but these specific issues feature the first appearance of the Ronin identity.
While it may not be Barton who's under the mask at this stage, if you're a fan of the mantle and the action that has accompanied it on-screen, then these books would be a great place to find it within a comic, due in no small part to how Ronin is the focal point of this arc.
Plus, with the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch behind the wheel, the stories featured over the course of this run are definitely worth reading, whether you're a fan of Ronin or not.
Bendis is a writer who created Marvel juggernauts like Jessica Jones and Miles Morales, while Finch's art style conveys a sense of realism and also maintains the greatly exaggerated nature of comic book heroes (much like the MCU has managed to do on-screen). Together, they make a fantastic team.
