I thought it would be easier to purchase the TPB and try to catch up that way. I have a list of 22 or 23. Does anyone have any idea in what order they should be read in? Thanks Anthony I missed Civil War because of cancer and being ill. I thought it would be easier to purchase the TPB and try to catch up that way. I have a list of 22 or 23.

I've never seen such a botched story. I really didn't care for the whole thing myself. I feel that DC does a much better job with their crossovers. M: Good points.

It's simply a checklist of each months CW titles listed ALPHABETICALLY by the month they were ORIGINALLY supposed to come out. Some titles were released late due to artists missing deadlines or being ill. The Marvel CW Gallery is the closest thing I've seen to an accurate order, but even it has problems, like the omission of FF 542 and the inclusion of the trade paperbacks and endless reprints. This whole storyline is so poorly executed that Marvel itself has failed to produce an accurate reading order. But they ARE raking in the cash which I believe was their only real concern. Either way, I'm reading it, liking some parts, detesting others, and eagerly awaiting the Big Oops storyline a-la Crisis, when Marvel tries to undo everything.

Also I don't know if it really counts, what with being a waste of time, but theres the Ultimate SpiderHam Civil War Crisis issue that came out last week that I guess should come under the general banner of Civil War based nonsense.

On top of this, Winter Soldier, War Crimes, Iron Man / Captain America, Black Panther #23 and Civil War Front Line #9 were all released <strong>BEFORE</strong> Civil War #6, but you're supposed to read them <strong>AFTER</strong> Civil War #6... what's Marvel's deal?
