THE COMING OF CAPTAIN MARVEL (1967-1968)

From inauspicious beginnings, Captain Marvel's impact on the Marvel Universe still lasts to this day. Even though he's long dead. The Kree alien arrives on Earth to... well, his mission's a little unclear, but his loyalties will one-day change and turn him into a hero. 

Mar-Vell's legacy is probably greater than any of the stories he'll go on to appear in. A number of other heroes have risen up over the decades, including Monica Rambeau, Genis-Vell and Carol Danvers, who also makes her debut in this story. We also meet the Supreme Intelligence and Ronan the Accuser for the very first time.

As for this tale, it all begins when the Fantastic Four learn of the existence of the Kree race, then Mar-Vell and his crew arrive on Earth to convince the humans that they're a credible threat. Mar-Vell steals the identity of a dead man, infiltrates an army base and fights his own robot. Weird way to warn off an alien race...

X-MEN READING ORDER: Children of the Atom (1963-1970)

Who knew they'd end up being one of Marvel's biggest franchises? The X-Men (originally intended to be launched as 'The Mutants') were created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee and really focused heavily on the Marvel vibe of teenage outsiders. Despite the presence of regular nemesis Magneto (now one of Marvel's premiere villains), interactions with the rest of the Marvel Universe and a career-defining run by artist Neal Adams, the teens didn't really click with the audience and the series was cancelled after 66 issues. It ran as a reprint title, rerunning its own stories until issue 94. In this reading order, I've listed every appearance of the five X-Men members - along with their mentor, Professor X - from their first appearance right up to their cancellation. Their defining moments and key interactions with Spider-Man , the Avengers , Fantastic Four and other receive the spotlight treatment, but you can pick and choose whatever you want to read. It's up

So begins the strongest era of Marvel'c cosmic characters in the universe's history. One that will see the Rich Rider finally meet his destiny, see wars between galactic

WRAITH WAR (1984-1985)

Countless years ago, the Celestials messed about with the Skulls ' gene pool and, among other things, created an offshoot of Deviant Skrulls called Dire Wraiths . These warped and murderous magic users were chased off their home to the world and found a new home in the Dark Nebula , naming their new home Wraithworld . Then, just two hundred years ago, the Dire Wraiths invaded Galador , only to get their saggy arses kicked across the universe by the Galadorian Spaceknights . The Spaceknights spread out across the galaxies, hunting the Dire Wraiths as they tried to invade other planets. One such cyborg Spaceknight, Rom , came to Earth to end the threat they posed to our world. Most people perceived Rom as a rampaging alien toaster-bot, as the Wraiths used magic to disguise themselves as human and Rom lost a little of his humanity over the centuries.  But he'd run into many of Earth heroes during his time on Earth, and made friends with serial sidekick Rick Jones and found lov
