How do you get into a comic?

Hm, I've recently read quite a bit of comics myself. Since I had access to digital comics, I was pretty much able to start at the very beginning of what I wanted to read.

I would say that it depends on how someone follows comics. I think that people into buying the actual issues or new readers who want to try something out start in the latest story arc. American comics always have a recap to make it easier for readers to follow at the beginning of each issue. Manga is actually the same thing if you were to read it in a Shonen Jump or similar magazine and I'm sure people pick up manga in the middle of the latest chapters. There's usually some kind of overview, and then a brief synopsis of what is going on in the latest storyline to allow new readers to follow. Then among the more avid comic fans who use online resources to read their comics, I suppose they start from the beginning.
