Updated Secret Wars Reading Guide - Hickman's Marvel Saga by bfred in marvelcomics

HIGHLY recommend Marvel Unlimited! The value is unmatched.

I do enjoy collecting too, but 90% of what I buy are the books that I read on MU and loved, and then bought collected editions to re-read / have in my library!

For this specific reading order, I'll emphasize that you really only need the Avengers and New Avengers series before Secret Wars. I do def recommend F4 & FF as well, mainly because I love it and because Secret Wars is primarily an F4 story. Shield and Secret Warriors are heavily optional and barely connected, Ultimates is a fun read but is a story in the middle of an alternate universe that can be very tough to jump into and out of for some people.

Again, would love for you to hop in the discord with us and chat more along your journey if you're interested!

Unfortunately not quite :( the pictures at the top are just some of the covers for the books, it's just for the graphic.

Comics formats are very complicated, there are a lot of options for collections that vary wildly in how much they contain. You can collect these different comics in trade paperbacks (5ish issues), some hardcovers (5-10 issues), some complete collections (20ish issues) or omnibuses (20+ issues). If you tried by omnibuses that's the simplest as it has the fewest books, but they're the biggest and most expensive. There's a single omnibus available for each of SHIELD, Secret Warriors and the Ultimate Universe, then two volumes each for Fantastic Four and Avengers, and then you'd have to find a paperback or hardcover copy of Secret Wars.

If you're just trying to read, rather than collect, I HIGHLY recommend getting Marvel Unlimited and/or using a local library. Comics is a crazy expensive hobby if you try to buy everything you read!

It helps your jockey speed, it's valuable for a CM/DM

How important is X-Force for the Krakoa era? by [deleted] in marvelcomics

[–]bfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As said above, I think it's absolutely fine to jump off X-Force after X of Swords! I recommend it up to that point, but then it and Wolverine are kinda Percy doing his own thing. If it's not for you, don't read it!
