Secret Invasion Crossover Reading Order

  By , , , ,

One of the, if not the, most sprawling events ever put out by Marvel, and suffering from some fairly severe logic issues even by the standards of comics, but still a pretty gripping read, for the most part. It fits in here on the timeline.

Most of the non-Avengers crossovers can be skipped if you’re in a hurry, although Hercules, Captain Britain and Thor are all quite good, while Inhumans, Thunderbolts and Spider-Man contain important plot information for future events in their titles.

But Home Invasion should only be read if you’re a completist.

Footnotes:

  1. The entirety of the Captain Marvel appears to take place prior to anyone other than the Captain becoming aware of the Skrull infiltration, hence its placement here.
  2. Each of the five short stories in Who Do You Trust? is listed separately in this reading order.
  3. Although the New Warriors volume is bannered as a crossover, only this issue is actually part of Secret Invasion.
  4. All titles listed after Secret Invasion #8 are stories which occur during that issue.
  5. All titles listed in the Aftermath section on the reading order are stories which flow directly out of Secret Invasion but occur after the end of issue #8.

Shadowland Crossover Reading Order

Epilogues

Daredevil: Reborn #1 Daredevil: Reborn
Power Man and Iron Fist #1 Power Man and Iron Fist: The Comedy of Death

Footnotes:

  1. Despite the text at the start of this issue declaring that it occurs prior to Shadowland #3, it must logically occur later than that, as the appearances of Ghost Rider in issues #2 and #3 are continuous.

Fall of the Hulks / World War Hulks Crossover Reading Order

  By , , , ,

I’ll be honest: I wasn’t a big fan of the direction of the Hulk franchise under Jeph Loeb. But in the end, I have to say that, along with Greg Pak, he pulled it all together very nicely. This crossover marked the end of Loeb’s run, and it was far and away the best part of it.

Sentry: Fallen Sun [3] The Sentry Omnibus

Footnotes:

  1. Of all the issues in the crossover, this is the one that’s been reprinted in four separate collections. Their true mutant power is ubiquity.
  2. Avengers Prime occurs entirely during the final issue of Siege, but is best read after it.
  3. This is the only place this is collected. Don’t worry though, you haven’t missed a thing. It’s got bloody awful art – and the art is better than the writing. If you’ve ever wanted to see all your favourite Marvel characters twisted out of shape to make the Sentry an even bigger Mary Sue in death than he was in life, this is your book. If not, be glad that you could read every other collection listed on this page and never encounter this piece of tripe.
