I guess the way I see it...a big problem being a comic book reader is learning not to be overwhelmed by all the new books coming out all the time

Most comic fans literally never have that problem.

The average reader starts with only one title that draws their interest. Then that title maybe gets them interested in a couple others. Then maybe those lead them to buy a few others. Or maybe their interest in some comics will lead them to online discussion circles, where people will suggest other books or they can learn about other popular titles they might want to check out. Starting with one or two, your buy list just sort of creeps up on you, and then one day you realize you're buying dozens of comics a month.

Sure, if you have absolutely no idea what you want and walk into a comic shop and stare at racks in a desperate attempt to figure out what to read you'll probably be lost, but almost no one ever does that.

Personally, most of my early comic buying started by getting interested in X-Men and Avengers, then sort of branching out from there. Eventually, getting plugged into the overall comic industry led me to some DC titles and other companies like Valiant and Malibu, and later companies like IDW. I didn't just walk into a comic shop, wind up surrounded by hundreds of titles, and then fall on the floor paralyzed with indecision.
