User blog:Orham2/Reading order from The Heroic Age

I started reading marvel comics a few years ago, and really enjoyed it. But while trying to figure out which issues i should read and in what order, i got really frustrated from the total anarchy and sheer numbers of series. From around Avengers Disassembled, it started getting worse (the confusion, in contrast to the enjoyment). There wasn't one event with a coherent reading order and without any chronology mistakes. When I finally decided to keep track of my findings and write them down, I was already past Dark Reign and in the middle of siege. So, this list starts after siege, and hopefully someday I would go back and starts again from the beginning.

My intention in working on this list was to create a guide which will help reading marvel comics as smoothly and as chronologically accurate as possible, with as little damage as possible to the overall story flowing. I don’t think someone should read every last issue on this list, and I also don’t recommend it.

This list doesn’t contain every series and issue of Marvel, but it does contain all the major and semi-major ones, and those that at least slightly worth reading [in my opinion]. in my original list there were different colors for The Avengers, The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, X-Man and more, but unfortunately it seems i cant add colors here.

This list is a work in progress, so changes can be made- and if there is a mistake, let me know!

My english is not perfect, so please forgive me for any grammer or spelling mistakes. Also, i would like to know if there is a better place for this sort of list on this site.

We start after [remember these are ends of arcs before the new beginnings]: Grim hunt [you don’t need to read it] Second coming [read it, it will helps get you up to date on the x-men] Realm of kings [you don’t need to read it, unless you start with annihilation] Siege [read it, but only the primary series and not the tie-ins] World war hulks [you don’t need to read it]

668.	Amazing Spider-Man #666 [yes, only now reed evacuates the children. But, there is no way of putting ASM 660 closer, because of the changes in the avengers academy roster between ASM #662 and Avengers Academy #20 at the end of Fear Itself. So, my explanation is that Reed couldn't have done it earlier because of Fear Itself, and only now he has the time]
