Avengers Disassembled Crossover Reading Order

As far as I’m concerned, this one barely counts as a crossover. Almost none of the titles listed as part of it have any real connection to it (aside from some token issues of Iron Man and Captain America). But it’s undeniably an important event in the history of the Marvel Universe.

You can see where it fits into the larger timeline here.
