Or if you are just interested in Hickman’s Avengers run as a lead up to Secret Wars you can jump straight to the four volumes of Avengers: Time Runs Out. You can read Avengers or New Avengers and get a full story. If you don’t want to read everything on this list you don’t have to. This includes his Avengers/New Avengers series as well as his Infinity event which was interacted with the latter two heavily. I’ve separated it into the trade paperback collections as that’s the most accessible way of reading it. Although, if you want to get a much larger picture you can read both – especially towards the end of the run when plot threads in both titles start to collide with each other.īelow is a reading reading order list of Hickman’s entire Avengers run. These two titles run along each other and can be read independently from on another. On the other side is a much smaller team in New Avengers, featuring some of the most powerful and influential heroes in the Marvel Universe working in secret. On one side we have Avengers, a series which features the conventional Avengers team with a large cast of additional characters thrown in depending on the situation at hand. While running independently, the titles act as two sides of the same coin.

Hickman’s run is unique in that it’s spread over two titles, Avengers and New Avengers. His Avengers comics were well received both critically and by the fans – especially his work on New Avengers which made it into our readers top 10 comics of 2014 list. What resulted was a run of truly epic proportions with a large roster of heroes, big science fiction ideas, and top artists. After a very popular run on the Fantastic Four, Jonathan Hickman took over The Avengers from longtime Avengers writer Brian Michael Bendis in 2012.
