Oh, it's well on its way to eating my brain. At first I was all "I'll just stick to the MCU because getting into comics canon would be insane." But now I've got the paperbacks of the first half of Brubaker's run on Captain America, a Comixology account, and plans to branch out into other books (Thunderbolts! Fraction's run on Hawkeye! OMG!)
It does not help that the Sweetie is a longtime, old school Marvel guy with a huuuuuuge collection and has started plans to feed me collections of *his* favourite slashy superheroes. Also, I always read your weekly comic reviews. Squirrel Girl sounds fab.
I used to be a DC girl! How did this happen! Damn you Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan. ::shakes fist at the pretty superhero boys::
Haha, this is how it starts! You think, oh, I'll just read one of them, and then suddenly you are reading six of them and you have ten new favorite characters and five ships you never had before.
I went through this in the late '80s/early '90s with Batman. Along with a lot of Vertigo and alternative stuff, my pull list ended up having an insane number of Bats and Bats related titles for a number of years until I finally trimmed the deadwood, and then dropped comics altogether for a long time. It's fun getting back into comics again, but I know how quickly things can spin out of control. Marvel or Comixology Unlimited is rather tempting, though. All the reading with none of the build up of long boxes in the basement. (We have a *lot* of long boxes in the basement.)
