>>95911990pick a character. they usually have a specific run that most readers agree is when they started getting good some characters, like doctor strange and the fantastic four, started off good from day 1. other characters, like the x-men, took a little while to be handed to the right writer.
don't worry about reading literally everything in chronological order. If you want to, feel free to start with the more lauded books or just whatever catches your interest more. Until I read the Earth-X trilogy I didn't even give a shit about Marvel characters other than Spider-Man and Venom. but I knew of them, and seeing all those outlandish theories being tossed around about them within the comic made me want to know more firsthand. not just about marvel characters but about comics in general. which got me into Grant Morrisson's work. that took me to DC for a while, and then back to Marvel for his X-Men. That got me interested in Asgard stuff, specifically Loki, so I checked out Journey into Mystery, stopped, and went back a bit further to start with Thor's resurrection so I had just a bit more context for JiM and then kept following that storyline all the way to Agent of Asgard. At which point I decided to read everything Ewing has ever written for Marvel.
Just bounce around from whatever you're curious about to whatever that makes you curious about and don't worry too much about not knowing all the relevant continuity. Good comics are improved by knowing all the context but they are specifically written that you don't need all the context to enjoy them
