If you’re interested in every year of Marvel, I recommend ‘ My Marvelous Year‘ the Comic Book Herald reading club that takes you through every single of year of Marvel comics. You can also check out the Ultimate Guide to Marvel Unlimited for the best available comics throughout Marvel’s History (for example, I find Age of Apocalypse worth its own guide), or the individual character reading orders below. In the years I’ve worked editing and updating this guide, I’ve focused primarily on the modern era of comics from the late 90’s through the 2000’s. Some quick words of explanation that should help answer the most frequent questions.
In 2015, Marvel released another large event under the name Secret Wars.Welcome to the Comic Book Herald Complete Marvel Reading Order Guide. Ī sequel, Secret Wars II was published the next year in 1986, tying-in almost every Marvel comic book written at the time and featuring a plot involving the original Secret Wars architect, Beyonder, visiting Earth. This inspired the idea of having all of Marvel's characters appear in an annual crossover event, and has been a tradition that Marvel Comics has continued to this day.
However, the limited-edition line of comics that it produced became the best-selling comic book series in 25 years. The toy line that inspired the Secret Wars event did not sell exceptionally well. The company asked for an editorial concept to be published that tied-in with the new toy line and brought all of the characters together. Secret Wars was developed at the request of the toy manufacturer Mattel, who wanted to capitalize on the resurgence in popularity of action figure toys in the early 1980s and create a new line of toys for popular Marvel characters. It was the first crossover event to include all company properties in the history of comics.
Secret Wars is the title of Marvel's first ever company-wide crossover event.
