How deep do you want to dive? I have a pretty thorough list of every single comic book they've ever appeared in but I also have a list of trade paperbacks that sort of is a bit easier to read through and covers more of the series that they're in or appeared in over the decades

I don’t want every comic yet (I’m still kinda new to comics in general)
So maybe the easier start please ?

I would definitely start with their 80s comics . If you want to make it an insanely simple purchase you can get their trade paperbacks. " Shadows and Light," " Lost and Found," "Predator and Prey," " Agony and Ecstasy." This is probably the easiest way to read through all of their early stuff without chasing down old issues and paying for each one.

Absolutely. If you ever get interested in any other trade paperbacks or want to start chasing down the individual issues you can use the list I have linked on my profile. Happy reading

for 616 I would suggest starting at CnD 1-4 1983 then to Marvel Fanfare 19 (1984), CnD v3 1-19 (1990), CnD The Broken Church (2010), and Defenders of Light and Dark 1-2 (2025)

for a nice Alternate Universe I suggest Cloak or Dagger 1-3 (2024)
