Or would it be better to just start reading individual comic series by themselves than get into comic events?
Uh, yeah - I'm no comics expert, but this seems logical. Comic events tend to have about 3000 characters, so if you start out with one of those you'll just end up being really confused, probably.
The thing is that several comics events reboot the universe, either a little or a lot - Crisis on Infinite Earths is the ultimate example of this, but there's several others. Since things can change a lot after a big Crossover Crisis, it makes no sense to start before a certain point unless you just want to read through absolutely everything about one group or one character.
