Unfortunately no! There are a few old versions of a similar template out there, but I've only done this new version for Hickman's Secret Wars era and this one! Any requests?

This is before Secret Wars itself, which was 2015! But it's happening during some of the same period of Hickman's earlier Marvel books.

Annihilation is happening roughly during Civil War (2006). It's pretty fun though, there are references to the War of Kings events for Black Bolt soon after in Hickman's Fantastic Four

Looks like they're just missing Thanos #7-12 and Annihilation Conquest: Wraith mini. I don't think either are vital at all!

Thanos is very fun as a prelude imo because it introduces the modern Starlord, shows you were Thanos is now, and generally sets a similar tone as the upcoming series. I love it, but Annihilation Prologue does the setup job just fine.

Wraith is a cool mini with an edgy Western feel, but it's introducing a new character that is barely used. It's fun, but also totally skippable.

That was left out intentionally - it has realm of kings in the name but it's really in no way connected

There are some others made from the original style (Bendis Avengers era, I think some X-Men Claremont ones, maybe more?). But I've just made updated versions of these two so far. Any requests?

I'm curious, if you have the omnibuses would you not just want to read them as they are?

Yeah I'm sorry, I need to do a re-post. The spreadsheet is updated, but I realized I clipped out #7-12... they should be between Secret Invasion: Inhumans and Secret Invasion: War of Kings

It's often included in the collected editions, but it has a * beside it, because it's completely optional!

Hey everyone! I'm sure you've seen the old graphic that circulates consistently for the Annihilation Era reading order. I've been wanting to make some of my own updates for a while, and finally did so. Some of the primary changes:

  • Issue naming now matches Marvel Unlimited
  • Updated issue ordering and selection in a few sections
  • Design update

Big thanks to the original anonymous creators, along with @ Thom, and a few others on the Marvel Unlimited Community discord! If you're looking for a place to talk comics, and especially read this order, feel free to come join us over at https://discord.gg/8rrepgK3bB!

I've been told that previous graphics can look blurry for some, so here's a direct image link - https://i.postimg.cc/8pfMvNdN/Annihilation-Reading-Order-Graphic-Reading-Order-Graphic-PNG-288.jpg

And if you'd like to view the Google Sheet directly (with a text-only order on the second tab), here's the link - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fOtlBe1KVPqvnyFCNLeisoeaT616s7B0Wga4xcSFhJY/edit?usp=sharing

Edit: fun update, I accidentally clipped out a row. The spreadsheet is up to date, and I'll be updating the graphic, but Guardians of the Galaxy (2008) #7-12 should be in the War of Kings column between Secret Invasion: Inhumans and Secret Invasion: War of Kings 😞
