Civil War

[TUCO]

i know im hella fuckin late but i just started gettin the TPB of the civil war tie-ins
so far i got:
Prelude to Civil War
Civil War
Peter Parker, Spider-Man
Amazing Spider-Man
Thunderbolts

the best being Prelude cuz the build up is so dramatic and makes so much sense
i know theres like 15 more TPBs but so far i think it was at least top 5 major Marvel crossovers ever
its just so real seeing how close friends/teammates turn to bitter enemies
anyone else enjoyed Civil War?

[TAURO]

I've yet to read any of the Civil War arc, im abit behind with the comics, im just about to get into House of M which takes place just before Civil War.

[TUCO]

yea thats the thing that sucks
house of m, avengers dissassembled, new avengers, etc
so much backstory to Civil War

I was just gonna post a question on this myself.

I've never followed comics fully, so don't know all the various stories that have led up to Civil War. But I've been getting back into reading graphic novels recently, and reading online about House Of M and Civil War has got me really interested and I was wondering if someone could suggest what I should read to take in the stories of both.

There seems to be a number of tie-ins to the original 8 part House Of M and 7 part Civil War, and I wanted to know which really need to be read, and whether they should be read before or after these main stories. I prefer to buy graphic novels, and wish I could just pick up a couple of huge collections, but these don't seem to be available (yet).

Thanks in advance for any help.

wow u guys are mad late...eloels...this was a great story arc...but also a bit upsetting since Cap had to die right after...though two great things out of it came out...the Secret (New) avengers, and the new roster of the Thunderbolts...Penance is fuckin awesome....

as for House of M...jus go with the messiah complex thats currently going on...imo more enjoyable than Civil war just because im a huge X-men fan....all good shit though...

After civil war there is now like two sets of Avengers.

[DVSK]

ya^^ Mighty, and New

[DVSK]

also there is the initiative, which is the facilities around the US that trains superheroes

Still haven't worked this one out!

If I want to pretty much understand everything going on in the Civil War arc, what titles are recommended to go before/after/along with it?

I dunno what I need to read out of stuff like New X-Men/Avengers Disassembled/House Of M as well as the various tie ins to Civil War. Can someone just list a suitable set of graphic novels to read, and a suggested order to read them in.

Thanks.

[main_man]

read. avengers disassembled first.
then house of m
then the new avengers series from the start if you can up until it starts the civil war.
then you can pretty much read civil war and all its tie ins. the x men tie in was wack though. another storyline was secret war. it was mediocre, but it explains why nick fury aint around.

[LuckyTheWonderDog]

^^ Thanks man.

Any House Of M tie-ins worth reading?

[main_man]

you know, i dont think i read any of the tie ins at all with house of m. i just read the main series. the house of m avengers series is out right now. but its not really tied in, its just a back story of the formation of the avengers in that timeline. its pretty good though.

as far as the civil war tie ins i personally liked the captain america, iron man & spider man stuff. the new avengers tie ins were my personal favorite. i also enjoyed the black panther & heroes for hire tie ins too. the wolverine ones were ok, and the x men one just sucked.
