World War Hulk Reading Order

Here's my after-the-fact "World War Hulk Reading Order".

I saw a reading order on another site (I don't remember where) that was broken down by page. It wasn't complete and too nit-picky for me. This is the order I store mine in:

World War Hulk Reading Order:

  • World War Hulk Prologue: World Breaker

  • Incredible Hulk (1999-2008) - #106

then

  • Daily Bugle (2006-Present) - #9

Daily Bugle announces upcoming WWH, Iron Man, etc.

  • Iron Man (2005-Present) - #19

this is the battle with Iron Man

  • Iron Man (2005-Present) - #20

follows immediately after battle with Iron Man

  • World War Hulk: Front Line - #1

we see Hulk battling Iron Man at the end of this book without a

conclusion

  • World War Hulk - #1

we witness the conclusion to the Iron Man battle

  • Irredeemable Ant-Man (2006-Present) - #10

Ant-Man is in the Hulk during the Iron Man battle

  • Incredible Hulk (1999-2008) - #107

we see the Iron Man battle then Hulk beats up Hercules

  • Incredible Hulk (1999-2008) - #108

Hulk has just finished punching on Hercules

  • Ghost Rider (2006-Present) - #12

Ghost Rider comes face to face with the Hulk. Must be post

Iron Man Battle

  • Ghost Rider (2006-Present) - #13

the face off between Ghost Rider and the Hulk continues

  • Heroes for Hire (2006-Present) - #11

the Hulk's forces have landed on Earth

  • Heroes for Hire (2006-Present) - #12

Heroes for Hire get on Hulk's space ship

  • Heroes for Hire (2006-Present) - #13

Heroes for Hire are prisoners on Hulk's space ship

  • World War Hulk: X-Men - #1

Hulk goes after Xavier. This could go before Ghost Rider.

Doesn't really matter.

  • World War Hulk: X-Men - #2

Hulk continues his questioning of Xavier.

  • World War Hulk: X-Men - #3

Hulk demolishes all X-Men and leaves.

  • World War Hulk: Gamma Corps - #1

This could go most anywhere. It's an introduction to the

Gamma Corps

  • World War Hulk: Gamma Corps - #2

Origins of Gamma Corps members.

  • World War Hulk: Gamma Corps - #3

No time reference for this one. hulk battles Gamma Corps and gets

his neck snapped. Must be before arena.

  • World War Hulk: Gamma Corps - #4

Hulk recovers from his broken neck. Beats Gamma Corps and

heads out (for Avengers battle?)

  • World War Hulk - #2

Battle against She-Hulk and the Avengers then destroys the

Fantastic Four

  • Avengers: The Initiative - #4

Hulk has already beat up Samson and the rest

  • Incredible Hulk (1999-2008) - #109

Hulk tells Renegades to go away and starts building arena

  • World War Hulk: Front Line -#2

Hulk's forces are on Earth and the 24 hours is just about up

  • World War Hulk: Front Line -#3

Hulk has already defeated the FF

  • Incredible Hulk (1999-2008) - #110

Hulk hasn't begun his arena battles.

  • Heroes for Hire (2006-Present) - #14

Heroes meet in arena. It is empty; must be before arena battles.

  • Heroes for Hire (2006-Present) - #15

This continues immediately after 14.

  • Avengers: The Initiative - #5

Hulk is obviously not busy with arena battles. He beats up Avengers

Shadow Initiative.

  • World War Hulk - #3

Hulk finishes arena. Dr Strange confronts him and gets his hands

crushed. Dr Strange summons Zom.

  • World War Hulk - #4

Hulk defeats Dr Strange/Zom. Arena battles begin. Sentry takes

flight.

  • World War Hulk: Front Line -#4

We see some arena battles from crowd perspective.

  • Marvel Spotlight: World War Hulk

Good time to have a Spotlight.

  • World War Hulk: Gamma Files

May as well think about different Gamma characters at this point.

  • Punisher: War Journal (2007-Present) #12

Side story. Punisher fights aliens and evacuates civilians from New

York.

  • World War Hulk: Front Line -#5

We see Sentry enter the scene.

  • World War Hulk - #5

Battle between Sentry and Hulk and conclusion to WWH.

  • Incredible Hulk (1999-2008) - #111

Kind of a recap. We see the battle between Dr Strange/Zom and

Hulk as well as the battles between Hulk and Sentry. Then the

conclusion.

  • World War Hulk: Front Line -#6

Another recap from a different perspective. Also we see aftermath.

Now we are in the Aftersmash:

  • What If? Planet Hulk

I put this in Aftersmash because it felt right.

  • World War Hulk Aftersmash

Follows immediately soon after WWH #5.

  • Incredible Hulk (1999-2008) - #112

Follows sometime soon after WWH #5.

  • Incredible Hercules (2008-Present) - #113

These can just keep going in order...

  • Incredible Hercules (2008-Present) - #114

This is the last Aftersmash for Incredible Hercules. (It only

says it's Part of Aftersmash on the variant cover.) #115 carries

on the fun, but it's strictly Herc and Cho now.World War Hulk Aftersmash: Damage Control - #1

This could be read right after Aftersmash (or while your reading

Incredible Hercules.)

  • World War Hulk Aftersmash: Damage Control - #2

This is next.

  • World War Hulk Aftersmash: Damage Control - #3

This one finishes up this mini (it got kinda silly.)

  • World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound - #1

This could be read right after Aftersmash (or while your reading

Incredible Hercules and Damage Control.)

  • World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound - #2

Follows immediately after #1.

  • World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound - #3

Amazingly, this comes after #3.

  • World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound - #4

Yup. This one's next!

  • World War Hulk AfterSmash: Warbound - #5

Now, we're done.

I really enjoyed WWH and the Aftersmashes as well. Aren't comics cool?

If anyone thinks the reading order should be different or if I missed something, I'd love to hear it.
