Guardians of the Galaxy #1 [4, 6]	Guardians of the Galaxy, vol.1: Legacy
Nova #13 [4, 7]	Nova, vol.3: Secret Invasion

Footnotes:

Provides a detailed summary of the original Annihilation crossover.
The last previous appearance of a pivotal character in the storyline.
These three issues of Nova parallel the action of the Prologue, taking place over a very brief span and end just as the conclusion of the Prologue play out.
It should go without saying, but just in case: the Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy series appearing in this crossover are vastly superior to the current incarnations of those two titles.
Not bannered as part of the crossover, but absolutely vital to understanding its conclusion.
The launch of a new ongoing series, following on from this crossover, particularly the Star-Lord series.
The next issue of the ongoing series, and as the title suggests, a part of the next big crossover.

Not actually bannered as a part of the Aftersmash, but spins out of it just the same. Also, one of the most enjoyable comics in Marvel history.

The title was renamed to Incredible Hercules with this issue. Seriously, dude, you should read all of it. Every volume.

The relaunch of the Hulk, and a radical new direction.

Spider-Man: Back In Black Crossover Reading Order

By Loki AAA-Misc, BBB-Revisit, Content, Marvel Comics, Marvel Crossovers

Spider-Man in basic black

This reading order lists every issue in which Spider-Man appeared in his black costume during 2007, but even by the standards of the rapacious Marvel marketing machine, this “event” is kinda pointless. It’s a five issue storyline in which Peter is utterly, utterly consumed by the fear of losing May, so much so that he is as humourless and driven as the Punisher…

…but not so much that he can’t still fight the Hulk’s armies, go to Japan with the Avengers, mourn Captain America, and even wisecrack like it was any other day in his non-Amazing titles.

Nice one, Marvel editorial.

Amazing Spider-Man #545 [9]	Spider-Man: One More Day Amazing Spider-Man by JMS Ultimate Collection, Book 5

Placement Notes:

Bannered as a part of the Civil War storyline, but this issue leads directly into the event without any break.

These issues comprise the actual Back in Black storyline. You could reasonably skip every single other issue listed on this page.

Technically, these issues occur as a continuous story at some point during New Avengers: Revolution, but for the sake of simplicity, they is placed here.

New Avengers #27-33 are one continuous storyline.

In this issue, Aunt May specifically tells Peter (via a seance) not to revive her.

For a more extensive reading order of World War Hulk, go here.

In this issue, God appears to Spider-Man to tell him to just have faith and it will all be okay.

In this issue, Peter and MJ declare their undying love for each other. Ever get the feeling you’re being trolled?

In this issues, Peter and MJ ignore absolutely everything mentioned in points 5, 7 & 8 above, and Marvel performs the most unapologetic retcon in its entire history.

By Loki AAA-Misc, BBB-Revisit, Content, Marvel Comics, Marvel Crossovers

This new series of Nova spun out of this storyline, and lasted for several years. And it was damned good – if you’re picking up the first volume, don’t stop there.

House of M Crossover Reading Order

By Loki AAA-Misc, BBB-Revisit, Content, Marvel Comics, Marvel Crossovers

A tricky event to chronologise, given that most of it takes place in an alternate universe, and the vast majority of its tie-ins were more devoted to exploring that universe than actually propelling the story forward. Still, one Bendis’ better works.

To see how this event fits into the larger chronology, go here.

Marvel Universe Prologue:

Footnotes:

The Spider-Man mini-series seems to be inconsistent with the main story. Not that that means much in an alternate universe scenario like this.
References in this story suggest that it takes place after both the Fantastic Four and Incredible Hulk stories.
This special issue of The Pulse does not match the actual chronology of events very well, containing minor spoilers for several stories. However, it also contains background information not found elsewhere.
Even by the loose standards of House of M crossovers, this one is eminently skippable. It’s such a generic alternate universe tale that it’s barely recognisable which alternate universe it takes place in.
This issue of Broken Worlds also contains stories of the Microverse, Future Imperfect and Marvel 2099.
A mention of Wolverine being missing places this story here.
The Iron Man mini-series takes place between issues #2 and #5 of House of M.
The framing sequence for these issues places it after House of M #3.
This issue details the history of Captain America in this world, and dovetails with the main story in House of M #5.
This issue details Hawkeye’s whereabouts between House of M #5 and #7.
These three stories all conclude with the world ‘burning white’ again in House of M #7.
Because the framing sequence for this issue is explicitly set after the events of House of M, it is placed here.
