Hm, yes, I take your point.

I think the thing to do is, one, find people or communities that you trust and bug them for recommendations, or just gank things that they're obviously hyped about. Find writers that you like and read what they're doing. Try and get into the thing with more stand-alone series, instead of the big tentpole series - most of the insane continuity and crossovers and that is going to come from your big-name books (your Amazing Spiderman, your Avengers, your Incredible X-Men, your Fantastic Four), not so much from your smaller, more standalone things. And, more than that, just don't sweat it if you're reading something and there's elements of backstory you don't immediately understand, because they probably don't matter too much.

I definitely get why it can be hard, and it's definitely something the Big 2 publishers have a lot of blame for. But I don't think it's impenetrable if it's something you want to get into, and there's plenty of cool people reading comics out there who can help you out (as much as there's also a ton of terrible, terrible sperglords)
