Since I plan on picking this up next week, it would possibly do me some good to read what came before. Could anyone give a condensed essential list of what I'd need to understand the story so far?
THUNDERBOLTS, THE FEARLESS DEFENDERS AVENGERS, NEW AVENGERS, SECRET AVENGERS, UNCANNY AVENGERS, DARK AVENGERS, AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, AVENGERS ARENA, CAPTAIN MARVEL, FANTASTIC FOUR, THOR : GOD OF THUNDER, INDESTRUCTIBLE HULK, RED SHE HULK, WINTER SOLDIER, CAPTAIN AMERICA, IRONMAN, SCARLET SPIDER, VENOM, AMAZING SPIDERMAN, CYBER FORCE, WOLVERINE, WOLVERINE & THE X-MEN, ALL NEW X-MEN, CABLE AND X-FORCE, AGE OF APOCALYPSE, UNCANNY X-MEN, DEADPOOL, ........and most of the mini's from Marvel.
I very much enjoyed Legacy; on the other hand, Bendis' tepid writing somewhat spoiled ANX for me (one hopes this is not a constant) - though I suppose I should not look for worthwhile prose inside of a flagship comic in this day and age.
Crossovers are fine as long as they don't lead to derivative events or countless spin-offs. Since, for the most part, they are quite bland; whenever I'm forced to purchase the Blue Beetle, I smell corporate encroachment. .
