Today I'm going to help you ease into reading comics! I know it can seem very difficult to get into something that seems daunting, especially with the amount of gatekeeping there is in comics, so I hope this helps you learn a genre or publisher of comic that you really enjoy.
LUMBERJANES
Author: Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Faith Hicks, Brooke A. Allen, Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, Brooke Allen, Carolyn Nowak
Number of Issues: 56
Publisher: BOOM! Box
Summary:
FRIENDSHIP TO THE MAX!
At Miss Qiunzilla Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's camp for hard-core lady-types, things are not what they seem. Three-eyed foxes. Secret caves. Anagrams. Luckily, Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley are five rad, butt-kicking best pals determined to have an awesome summer together... And they're not gonna let a magical quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! The mystery keeps getting bigger, and it all begins here.

I absolutely love this series. It has magical adventures, amazing friendships, and queer characters. Summer camp never seemed more fun! If you like fun Middle Grade novels, this is the series for you to get into. The first few volumes are free on Kindle Unlimited so you can definitely get into it for fairly cheap!
NIMONA
Author: Noelle Stevenson
Number of Issues: 1 graphic novel (sadly)
Publisher: HarperCollins
Summary:
The graphic novel debut from rising star Noelle Stevenson, based on her beloved and critically acclaimed web comic, which Slate awarded its Cartoonist Studio Prize, calling it "a deadpan epic."
Nemeses! Dragons! Science! Symbolism! All these and more await in this brilliantly subversive, sharply irreverent epic from Noelle Stevenson. Featuring an exclusive epilogue not seen in the web comic, along with bonus conceptual sketches and revised pages throughout, this gorgeous full-color graphic novel is perfect for the legions of fans of the web comic and is sure to win Noelle many new ones.
Nimona is an impulsive young shapeshifter with a knack for villainy. Lord Ballister Blackheart is a villain with a vendetta. As sidekick and supervillain, Nimona and Lord Blackheart are about to wreak some serious havoc. Their mission: prove to the kingdom that Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin and his buddies at the Institution of Law Enforcement and Heroics aren't the heroes everyone thinks they are.
But as small acts of mischief escalate into a vicious battle, Lord Blackheart realizes that Nimona's powers are as murky and mysterious as her past. And her unpredictable wild side might be more dangerous than he is willing to admit.

If you like dragons, magic, and anti-heroes, then this is the graphic novel for you. This changed graphic novels for me and got me to read a lot of different publishers and genres beyond superhero ones. Noelle Stevenson is a genius.
