Although Dark Reign permeates the entirety of the Marvel Universe, there are a wide variety of Marvel series released during the era that don’t quite fit within the Dark Reign reading order.
Below you’ll find a complete guide to comics in between Dark Reign and Siege, with my personal favorites marked by the Comic Book Herald logo next to series title.
Major developments during this time period include the launch of the Jonathan Hickman written era of Fantastic Four, the X-Men’s Messiah War, and the launch of the Jason Aaron written Wolverine: Weapon X comic.
Previously: Dark Reign
Moon Knight Vol. 5: Down South
