NewSecret Invasion Crossover Reading Order

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.
