• X-Men: The Complete Age of Apocalypse Epic, Book 3
• X-Men: The Complete Age of Apocalypse Epic, Book 4

The first Age of Apocalypse trade actually mostly collects material published well after the main storyline; these stories for the most part serve as prequels to the main action, but several involve characters traveling back in time and thus rely on familiarity with events in the later volumes. As a result, the order in which Marvel has chosen to collect this material can be rather confusing.

In the mid-nineties, each of the Age of Apocalypse miniseries was also collected in its own trade paperback: Amazing X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, Factor X, Gambit and the X-Ternals, Generation Next, Weapon X, X-Calibre, and X-Man. Additional one-shots and other related issues were collected in Legionquest, Dawn of the Age of Apocalypse and Twilight of the Age of Apocalypse.

• Venom: Carnage Unleashed

• Spider-Man: The Complete Clone Saga Epic, Book 3

1997
• Deadpool Classic, Vol. 1 (review)

Most of the material collected in the first Deadpool Classic trade was published during 1993 and 1994, but because the final issue of the collection (that is, the first issue of Deadpool’s ongoing series) was published in 1997, the book is placed here. Deadpool Classic, Vol. 2 follows directly from where this book leaves off with the second issue of the Deadpool ongoing series. The two Deadpool miniseries collected here have also been collected in their own trades, Deadpool: The Circle Chase and Deadpool: Sins of the Past.

The Heroes Reborn universe lasted just one year, at which point the heroes returned in the aptly titled Heroes Reborn: The Return. Books listed in the timeline between the fourth Onslaught trade and the Heroes Reborn trades take place during the time in which the heroes are absent from the main universe.

The latest printing of Heroes Reborn: The Return includes the eponymous four-issue miniseries as well as seven tie-in one-shots. The original trade included only the miniseries. The latest printing of Heroes Reborn: Fantastic Four includes the entire series, while earlier printings collect only the first six issues.

This trade collects a three-issue miniseries from 1997 which is essentially a sequel to Spider-Man: The Origin of the Hobgoblin. The latest printing also includes an additional three issues of Spectacular Spider-Man, published at this point in 1998.

• Captain America: To Serve and Protect (review)
• Iron Man: Deadly Solutions (review)
• Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1 (review)
• Avengers: Supreme Justice (review)

Captain America, Iron Man, and the rest of Marvel’s superheroes return from the Heroes Reborn universe at the same time (other than Thor, who returns slightly later), so it can be assumed that Captain America: To Serve and Protect and Iron Man: Deadly Solutions take place concurrently, for the most part. Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1 starts shortly after the new Captain America and Iron Man solo series begin, the events of which (such as Cap losing his round shield in the second issue collected in To Serve and Protect) are reflected in Avengers.

Kurt Busiek’s run on Avengers was originally collected in eight trades paperbacks; it was later re-collected into the five Avengers Assemble hardcovers (which, it seems, are now being reprinted in five paperbacks). The hardcovers are included on this list, rather than the trades, for several reasons: the original trades skip a number of issues which are included in the hardcovers (namely, the Maximum Security issues and the Jerry Ordway fill-in issues); the trades have been out of print for several years now; and the hardcovers are oversized and generally more nicely put together than the trades.

Because the hardcovers each collect more issues than the trades did, using the hardcovers on this list does create some minor problems. One is the case of Avengers: Supreme Justice, the second volume in the original trade series, which is the only trade to collect material not present in the hardcover series. As such, it is included on the timeline directly after Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1. The two issues that are unique to Supreme Justice are Captain America #8 and Quicksilver #10, which complete the “Live Kree or Die” storyline. Supreme Justice collects the other two issues in the storyline as well – Avengers #7 and Iron Man #7 – but those issues are also collected in Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1 and Iron Man: Deadly Solutions, respectively. Supreme Justice should thus be read after the Captain America and Iron Man collections, and before the seventh issue collected in Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1.

All of the “Live Kree or Die” issues are also collected, in their proper sequence, in the trade paperback version of Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1. In the original trade series, the contents of the first Avengers Assemble book are collected in Avengers: The Morgan Conquest, the aforementioned Avengers: Supreme Justice, and the first half of Avengers: Clear and Present Dangers.

• Avengers: Legion Of The Unliving

This trade collects a variety of issues from throughout the Avengers’ history; the final two are also collected in Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1.

• Squadron Supreme: Death of a Universe

This trade collects original graphic novels from 1989 and 1998, as well as issues of Thor and Avengers. The Avengers issues are also collected in both Avengers: Supreme Justice and Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1.

• Iron Man/Captain America (review)

This trade collects a number of issues in which the title characters appear together from throughout their history. The most recent stories were published at this point.

• Wolverine: Black Rio

• Invaders: The Eve Of Destruction

1999
• Thunderbolts Classic, Vol. 3
• Captain America: American Nightmare

This hardcover collects the Captain America tie-in to “Live Kree or Die,” as well as the next five issues of the character’s ongoing series.

• Thor by Dan Jurgens & John Romita Jr., Vol. 1

The first two issues collected in this trade were previously collected as Thor: Resurrection. This trade also includes an early issue of Peter Parker: Spider-Man.

• Deadpool Classic, Vol. 4
• Union Jack

• Black Panther: The Client

• Daredevil, Vol. 1: Guardian Devil

Appearances by the Avengers and the Fantastic Four in Guardian Devil place it well after Heroes Reborn: The Return and its immediate aftermath. Recent printings drop the volume number from the title. Guardian Devil is also collected in Daredevil, Vol. 1 (Hardcover). The first three issues collected in Guardian Devil were also at one point collected as Daredevil: Marvel’s Finest.

• Spider-Man: The Next Chapter, Vol. 1

• DC/Marvel Crossover Classics, Vol. 3
• DC/Marvel Crossover Classics, Vol. 4

• Captain America: Red Glare
• Magneto: Rogue Nation

This trade collects the X-Men crossover “The Magneto War,” as well as its follow-up miniseries, Magneto Rex.

• Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty

• Thor by Dan Jurgens & John Romita Jr., Vol. 2

The contents of this volume (aside from Thor Annual 1999) were originally collected as Thor: The Dark Gods.

• Spider-Man: Chapter One
• Deadpool Classic, Vol. 5
• Black Panther: Enemy Of The State

With this second volume, the Black Panther trades collect up through the ongoing series’ twelfth issue. The series ran for 62 issues; sadly, it has not been collected beyond this point.

• Wolverine/Cable: Guts and Glory

• Avengers Assemble, Vol. 2

In the original trade series, the contents of the second Avengers Assemble book are collected in Avengers: Ultron Unlimited and the second half of Avengers: Clear and Present Dangers.

• Thor by Dan Jurgens & John Romita Jr., Vol. 3

Collecting the “Eighth Day” crossover, this trade also includes issues of Iron Man and Peter Parker: Spider-Man, as well as a Juggernaut one-shot.

• Contest Of Champions II

This trade is a sequel of sorts to the 1982 miniseries Contest of Champions, which is collected in the hardcover Avengers: The Contest.

• Wolverine/Punisher: Revelation

• The Inhumans

• Spider-Man: The Next Chapter, Vol. 2

• X-Men: The Shattering

Parts of this trade, including the three-issue Astonishing X-Men miniseries, were originally collected in the trade X-Men: Deathwish.

2000
• Avengers Forever
• Ant-Man’s Big Christmas

• Hulk by John Byrne & Ron Garney

• Essential Wolverine, Vol. 7

The final four issues collected in this trade are also collected in X-Men vs. Apocalypse, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.

• X-Men vs. Apocalypse, Vol. 1: The Twelve
• X-Men vs. Apocalypse, Vol. 2: Ages Of Apocalypse

The second X-Men vs. Apocalypse trade contains the miniseries X-Men: The Search for Cyclops, which was published nearly a year after the other material collected in the book. The X-Men: Powerless trade, however, continues directly from the pre-Search for Cyclops material. Because of that, I would not recommend reading the Search for Cyclops issues at this point; it would be better to read them immediately before X-Men: Eve of Destruction instead.

• X-Men: Powerless

This trade collects several issues of the main X-Men titles, Cable, Wolverine, and X-Force, bridging the gap between the X-Men vs. Apocalypse trades and the re-launch of Marvel’s X-Men titles which took place in mid-2000. Under this re-launch, several titles briefly bore an “X-Men: Revolution” banner on their covers, while the others bore a “Counter X” banner. The Counter X titles have all been collected, but most of the Revolution ones still have not. However, the fact that Marvel is publishing X-Men: Powerless leads me to believe that they intend to fill the gap in X-Men collections that currently lies between the X-Men vs. Apocalypse trades and X-Men: Dream’s End.

• Blaze of Glory

This trade collects a miniseries set in the Old West.

• Captain Marvel: First Contact

This trade picks up Captain Marvel’s story following on events in Avengers Forever.

• X-Men: The Hidden Years, Vol. 1

Although first published at this point, this series takes place between Marvel Masterworks: The X-Men, Vol. 8 and Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1.

• Hulk: Dogs of War

• Counter X, Vol. 1: X-Force
• Counter X, Vol. 2: Generation X

2001

In the original trade series, some of the contents of the fourth Avengers Assemble book are collected in Avengers: Above and Beyond.

• Peter Parker: Spider-Man, Vol. 1: A Day in the Life

This trade is also sometimes referred to by the title Daredevil/Spider-Man: Unusual Suspects.

• Black Widow: The Itsy-Bitsy Spider

This hardcover collects two separate miniseries, both titled simply “Black Widow.” The first was published in mid-1999, and the other at this point. The two series were also collected together in the trade Black Widow.

• Thor: Across All Worlds

Older printings of this trade collect Thor #28-35; the newest one, however, also collects Thor #26-27, bridging the gap between Thor by Dan Jurgens & John Romita Jr., Vol. 4 and this book.

• Avengers Assemble, Vol. 4

In addition to several issues of Avengers, this volume also includes the main miniseries of the Maximum Security crossover, as well as the Maximum Security: Dangerous Planet one-shot. It does not, however, include any of that crossover’s tie-ins (which are collected, along with the main miniseries and Dangerous Planet, in the trade Avengers/X-Men: Maximum Security).

• Daredevil: Ninja

• Counter X: Generation X – Four Days
• Counter X: X-Force – Rage War
• X-Men: Eve of Destruction

As mentioned earlier, the miniseries X-Men: The Search for Cyclops (collected in X-Men vs. Apocalypse, Vol. 2: Ages of Apocalypse) should be read immediately before X-Men: Eve of Destruction rather than along with the other contents of its own book.

• Fantastic Four: Into the Breach

• Peter Parker: Spider-Man, Vol. 2: One Small Break

• X-Treme X-Men, Vol. 1: Destiny

Although it was actually published after the first volume of New X-Men, the first volume of X-Treme X-Men must go here due to events involving the Beast, which clearly occur prior to New X-Men.

• New X-Men, Vol. 1: E is for Extinction

This trade is also collected in New X-Men, Vol. 1 (Hardcover), New X-Men Omnibus, and New X-Men Ultimate Collection, Book 1.

• Captain America/Nick Fury: The Otherworld War

• Exiles, Vol. 1: Down the Rabbit Hole

Exiles picks up directly from the end of the miniseries Blink, which is collected in X-Men: The Complete Age of Apocalypse Epic, Vol. 1. The first trade is also collected in Exiles Ultimate Collection, Book 1.

Wolverine: The Best There Is collects Wolverine #159-161 and #167-169, while Wolverine/Deadpool: Weapon X collects Wolverine #162-166 and Deadpool #57-60. The Wolverine issues should be read in chronological order, regardless of how they are separated by the two books, followed by the Deadpool issues. The final part of this storyline, originally published in Wolverine #170-176, has never been collected. All of these issues lead directly into the Weapon X ongoing series.

2002

This trade is also collected in New X-Men, Vol. 1 (Hardcover), New X-Men Omnibus, and New X-Men Ultimate Collection, Book 1.

• Alias, Vol. 1

Alias has been collected in several different formats, but for the purposes of this timeline, I have given each of the original four trades its own entry. It should be noted, however, that these initial trades did print one issue from the series out of sequence, skipping over #10 (which takes place between the first and second trades) and placing it in the third trade instead. This problem was corrected for the two books in the Alias: The Ultimate Collection trade series, as well as in the Alias Omnibus, both of which collect all of the material in the original four trades in proper sequence. The first book in the original trade series is also collected in Alias Ultimate Collection, Book 1.

• Civil War

The main seven-issue miniseries of the “Civil War” crossover is collected in this trade. The scripts from this miniseries have also been collected, in Civil War Script Book. Nearly every ongoing series published by Marvel was affected by the crossover at one point or another, which creates some difficulties when attempting to read it in trade. Unless otherwise noted, all Civil War trades listed after this point take place during the events of the main story.

In addition to trades which collect the crossover by series, it has also been collected across a series of oversized hardcovers. Both the main series and the contents of the script book are collected in the oversized hardcover Civil War. Civil War: Avengers collects the Captain America, Iron Man, New Avengers, and Ms. Marvel tie-in issues (also collected in their own trades), as well as several tie-in one-shots.

Civil War: Fantastic Four collects the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, and She-Hulk tie-in issues, as well as the Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways miniseries.

Civil War: The Underside collects the Ghost Rider, Heroes for Hire, Moon Knight, Punisher War Journal, and Thunderbolts tie-in issues. Each of these has been collected in its own trade, although the Ghost Rider and Moon Knight trades do not have the “Civil War” branding – instead, they are titled Ghost Rider, Vol. 2: The Life & Death of Johnny Blaze, and Moon Knight, Vol. 2: Midnight Sun. Civil War: The Underside also collects the Civil War: War Crimes one-shot (also collected in a trade of the same name).

Civil War: X-Men collects the Cable & Deadpool, Wolverine, X-Factor, and Blade tie-in issues, as well as the four-issue Civil War: X-Men miniseries. The Wolverine issues and the miniseries are also collected in their own trades. The Cable & Deadpool and X-Factor issues are collected together in Civil War: X-Men Universe, as well as in their own individual trade paperback series. The Blade tie-in is also collected in Blade, Vol. 1: Undead Again. This hardcover also collects two handbook-style issues best read after the rest of the crossover, which are also collected in Civil War Companion.

• The Death of Captain America, Vol. 1: The Death of the Dream

Only the first issue collected in this trade was published by this point, but that issue must be read here in order for the next several books on the timeline to make sense. (Specifically, it leads directly into Civil War: The Confession, a one-shot collected in the Civil War: Iron Man trade.) This dilemma has been resolved in the oversized hardcover Civil War: Avengers, which collects the first issue alongside the issues of Captain America that directly tie in to the crossover. This issue is also collected in Captain America by Ed Brubaker Omnibus, Vol. 1. The entire trade is collected in The Death of Captain America Omnibus.

• Civil War: Iron Man

This trade collects two tie-in issues of Iron Man, an Iron Man/Captain America one-shot, and the one-shot Civil War: The Confession. The first three issues take place roughly in the middle of the crossover (and should be read there), but The Confession takes place immediately following the first issue collected in The Death of Captain America, Vol. 1: The Death of the Dream. This trade is also collected in Civil War: Avengers.

• Civil War: Marvel Universe

This trade collects three Civil War one-shots – Civil War: Choosing Sides, Civil War: The Return (featuring the return of Captain Marvel), and Civil War: The Initiative – as well as a tie-in issue of She-Hulk. The first two one-shots are both also collected in Civil War: Front Line. Civil War: The Initiative, which builds directly on events in Civil War: Iron Man (specifically, the Civil War: The Confession one-shot), is also collected in Civil War: Avengers.

• Civil War Companion

This trade collects a variety of handbook-style issues that give additional background on the Civil War crossover, but it does not include any actual stories. It is best read after the rest of the crossover, as several issues (in particular, Civil War: Battle Damage Report and Marvel Spotlight: Civil War Aftermath) discuss the ending in considerable detail.

• Doctor Strange: The Oath

• Spider-Man: Back in Black
• Peter Parker, Spider-Man: Back in Black
• Spider-Man Family: Back in Black

These three confusingly titled Spider-Man books take place at basically the same time. Spider-Man: Back in Black collects the main story from Amazing Spider-Man, as well as a side story from the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man series. The Amazing Spider-Man issues are also collected in Amazing Spider-Man by JMS Ultimate Collection, Book 5.

Peter Parker, Spider-Man: Back in Black collects a side story from the Sensational Spider-Man series, and although it ends before the main story in the other book, its context is better understood if read afterwards. The same is true for Spider-Man Family: Back in Black, which collects side stories from the Spider-Man Family series. The main story leads directly into Spider-Man: One More Day.

• World War Hulk
• World War Hulk: X-Men
• World War Hulk: Front Line
• World War Hulk: The Incredible Hercules
• Heroes for Hire, Vol. 3: World War Hulk
• World War Hulk: Gamma Corps

Collecting the “World War Hulk” crossover, these trades collect the tie-in issues by series rather than publication order. The main story is collected in the first trade, while the others take place during that story, for the most part. The main story has also been collected, along with an issue of Marvel Spotlight and the World War Hulk Aftersmash one-shot, in an oversized hardcover of the same name.

The title of the World War Hulk: X-Men trade is a bit of a misnomer. While it does include the three-issue World War Hulk: X-Men miniseries, the majority of its contents have nothing to do with the X-Men at all. Included are tie-in issues of Avengers: The Initiative, Iron Man, Ghost Rider, and The Irredeemable Ant-Man. The Ghost Rider issues are also collected in Ghost Rider, Vol. 3: Apocalypse Soon. The trade World War Hulk: The Incredible Hercules is also collected in Incredible Hercules: Smash of the Titans.
