    I think you need to tweak it a little bit because Thunderbolts vol 1 contains Thunderbolts #5 and Thunderbolts #5 is part of civil war II

    I’ve just read Agents of SHIELD #4 and imho it should be read between New Avengers #8 and #9 because the events happen simultanously to New Avengers #8 and definitly before #9. Plus, at the end of Agents of SHIELD there is written that the story will continue in New Avengers #9!

    I read that Sam Wilson Vol 2: Contains all the ESSENTIAL story bits of this event with the rest being optional. Thoughts? I buy exclusively trades.

        You could fast track through it that way, yeah, not unreasonable.

    What about all the comics between your All-new All-different reading order and Standoff, such as Captain Marvel, Agents of SHIELD, All-New All-Different Avengers, New Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, Captain America Sam Wilson, Ultimates, Squadron Supreme, etc.? There’s a huge gap between All-new All-different and Standoff in your order. Issues like Uncanny Avengers 4-6 are missing, and Captain Marvel has been completely omitted!

    You could include Steve Rogers: Captain America #2 i think. It fills in a lot of holes in standoff

    Maybe you should add New Avengers #11. Doesn’t the cover say “In the wake of Standoff”? I don’t know I haven’t read it. I’m waiting for some sweet All-New, All-Different reading orders. 😉

      Good call, I’ve added an Epilogue! Even New Avengers #12, which is included in the Civil War 2 timeline, is heavily influenced by the events of Standoff.

      Also… All-New All-Different orders are significantly updated here: https://www.comicbookherald.com/the-complete-marvel-reading-order-guide/all-new-all-different-marvel/
