Pages are meant to be read from left to right and in a “z-like” pattern — you read the rows as they’re tiered and make your way down a page. Each page consists of panels — single illustrations, usually sequential, that tell the story. And the space that separates each panel is known as the gutter.

Can I read comics in any order?

Absolutely not. You can read as much or as little as you want. If you are only interested in Batman or the X-Men feel free to only read their comics and ignore everything else. If you are going through a larger order, like the Ultimate Marvel order, feel free to skip series you have no interest in.

Please do not think you need to read them all. If you are a new reader I would never recommend them. As a new comic reader I suggest picking a character reading order and starting there. There is no large story weaving its way through these orders, think of them simply as a history of the Marvel/DC universe.
