NewAvengers Vs X-Men Crossover Reading Order

Finally. A big crossover story that really changes things. Well written and plotted, and almost all of the tie-ins actually serve a purpose for once.

Plus (spoiler), Scott Summers finally gets the ass-kicking he’s had coming for the last few years.

Footnotes:

1. The last team-up between the Avengers and the X-Men prior to the crossover. Not strictly necessary, but damned good.
2. Takes place before the Avengers as a whole become aware of the Phoenix heading for Earth.
3. Cable tears through the Avengers for no good reason. This is four issues of unconvincingly one-sided fights which has little relevance to the crossover or anything else other than Marvel’s bottom line. Can safely be skipped.
4. Wolverine’s appearance in this issue appears to occur during AVX #3.
5. Rachel Summers’ appearance in this issue appears to occur during AVX #3.
6. This issue takes place during AVX #4.
7. This issue takes place during AVX #5.
8. This issue takes place during AVX #6.
9. This issue takes place during AVX #12.
10. Overlaps somewhat with the last two issues of AvX but is best read after them.
11. Must take place prior to Consequences, as Cyclops is still in prison.
12. The first four issues of Uncanny Avengers form a single continuous storyline.
13. Gambit strikes out on his own again, wanting a little space. Disposable, but enjoyable.
14. Following up on her earlier decision, Ms. Marvel now adopts the Captain Marvel name.
15. Unhappy with the outcome of AVX, Hank McCoy makes a questionable decision.
16. Unhappy with his actions in AVX, Bruce Banner decides to try a very different tack. The best new concept for the Hulk in years.
17. Iron Man is put on trial for his role in the conclusion of AVX. Not essential, but fun.
