Marvel Comics wants to help fans engage with comic book narrative, streamlining and demystifying the reading process for those who may not be so familiar with how comic layouts and stories unfold. How To Read Comics The Marvel Way by Christopher Hastings (Unbelievable Gwenpool) and Scott Koblish (Deadpool) is a four-issue miniseries starring Spider-Man, with the web-slinger trapped within a comic book by Mysterio.
Spider-Man will guide fans as they progress through the story in a meta way, helping them to “navigate through the gutters, balloons, panels, pencils and more so you can follow along while he figures out how to escape and save the day!”

The series is marketed to have something for everyone and is described as a welcome mat for those completely new to comic books. For the seasoned reader, however, it is said to be a “peek under the hood” behind the creative decisions involved with conceptualizing and creating comics.
How To Read Comics The Marvel Way #1 by Christopher Hastings and Scott Koblish, and with a cover by David Nakayama, goes on sale in April from Marvel Comics.
