Being the super-huge crossover freak that I am, I'm very much looking forward to reading all of "Civil War" in one sitting. I did the same with "House of M" and enjoyed it, so I'm going crazy waiting for "Civil War."
That being said, I'm insanely particular about the read order. Certain issues with overlapping story elements I don't mind, but others I do. Obviously, with the story still on-going, this read order is subject to change and is quite tenative.
So, with the story thus far, here is my "Civil War" read order break-down:
New Avengers: Illuminati Fantastic Four # 536-537 Amazing Spider-Man # 529-531 Civil War # 1 Wolverine # 42 (until page 27) Civil War: Frontline # 1 Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (until page 21) New Avengers # 21 She-Hulk # 8 New Avengers # 22 (until page 13) Civil War # 2 (until page 14) New Avengers # 22 (rest of issue) Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (pages 23-25) Civil War # 2 (until page 31) Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (rest of issue) Civil War # 2 (rest of issue) Civil War: Frontline # 2: “The Program” Civil War # 3 (page 1) Thunderbolts # 103 (until page 10, panel 3) Amazing Spider-Man # 533 (until page 13) Thunderbolts # 103 (rest of issue) Amazing Spider-Man # 533 (rest of issue) Civil War: Frontline # 2 (rest of issue) Black Panther # 18 Cable & Deadpool # 30 Wolverine # 42 (rest of issue) Civil War: Frontline # 3 Civil War: Frontline # 4: “Sleeper Cell, Part Two” Fantastic Four # 538 Wolverine # 43 Wolverine # 44 X-Factor # 8-9 Civil War # 3 Amazing Spider-Man # 534 Thunderbolts # 104 Civil War: X-Men # 1 Young Avengers and Runaways # 1 Civil War: Frontline # 4 (rest of issue)
What do you think? Questions? Comments?

I can't wait to just totally geek-out when this all over, sit down, and read them all! I should note that I decided not to include certain other Marvel titles that referenced Civil War, but didn't have the "Civil War" banners - She-Hulk, New X-Men, Spider-Man "Unmaked" issues, and a few others, for example. This was complicated enough! Whew! ~W~

Enough comics to make Joe Q grab some more plasma screens to the rooms that only have one.

Excellent summary but I wouldn't put Tbolts 104 after Civil War #3- I thought Zemo's absence was very conspicuous in CW #3 and i think it will be explained in Tbolts #105.

@thew40 You really did make yourself some thoughts about that topic. Did anyone of you read the Daily Bugle Civil War Newspaper? I read the first half of it so far and it´s a nice supplement. Of course, it´s only summing up the past CW events, but for people who don´t read all books it´s a some kind of service.

Excellent summary but I wouldn't put Tbolts 104 after Civil War #3- I thought Zemo's absence was very conspicuous in CW #3 and i think it will be explained in Tbolts #105. As the crossover event continues, the read order will probably go through a lot of changes. That being said, a lot of issues that have ended in cliffhangers, I've just kinda put in the best order I can until everything becomes revealed. For example, T-Bolts # 104 has Zemo apporaching Cap about getting the renegade Avengers out of jail at the very end. I'm assuming (until it's confirmed or denied) that that is in reference to certain Avengers jailed in "Civil War" # 4. So, it's all depending on what happens in T-Bolts # 105 and "Civil War" # 4. As far as the Daily Bugle supplement, I'd love to see these put on a monthly or bi-weekly basis. It would be cool to pick it up and have articles written about events in the overall M.U. I liked the "Pulse" House of M one and the "Daily Bugle" was even better. It even followed-up on events in the comics that were in between the pages - such as X-Factor's press conference. That being said, it's really too hard to place within the overall crossover. Were I to venture a guess, I'd say . . . after "Civil War: Frontline" # 2. ~W~

Excellent summary. Just for the sake of argument though, I'm certain CW: X-Men 1 should occur after the first half of Civil War #3 since everything seems 'normal' in Civil War 3 at the X-Mansion, plus Tony talks to Bishop at the end of that segment and the normal Sentinels are there. It seems to be the 'lead-in point' for Civil War X-Men.

Okay, well, "Civil War: X-Men" # 1 and 2 (first three pages) takes place after "Civil War" # 3. I'll take a closer look after this weekend when I pick up the most recent "Civil War" books. I'm a little behind. Expect a new reading order up early next week. ~W~

Also want to point out that Black Panther #18 has to happen after (I'd guess between half 1 and half 2) Civil War #3 since in it, Sue references Reed's visit to wakanda which occured on about page 3 of Civil War #3.

For the moment, I'm holding off on putting Black Panther # 18 in there. I will eventually, but it's just a little too hard to figure out where it goes right now. When all is said and done, I'll put it back in. REVISED READ ORDER 09/14/06 (added Ms. Marvel # 6) New Avengers: Illuminati Fantastic Four # 536-537 Amazing Spider-Man # 529-531 Civil War # 1 Wolverine # 42 (until page 27) Civil War: Frontline # 1 Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (until page 21) New Avengers # 21 She-Hulk # 8 New Avengers # 22 (until page 13) Civil War # 2 (until page 14) New Avengers # 22 (rest of issue) Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (pages 23-25) Civil War # 2 (until page 31) Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (rest of issue) Civil War # 2 (rest of issue) Civil War: Frontline # 2: “The Program” Civil War # 3 (page 1) Thunderbolts # 103 (until page 10, panel 3) Amazing Spider-Man # 533 (until page 13) Thunderbolts # 103 (rest of issue) Amazing Spider-Man # 533 (rest of issue) Civil War: Frontline # 2 (rest of issue) New Avengers # 23 Cable & Deadpool # 30 X-Factor # 8-9 Wolverine # 42 (rest of issue) Fantastic Four # 538 Wolverine # 43 Wolverine # 44 Wolverine # 45 (up until page 27) Civil War: Frontline # 3 Civil War: Frontline # 4: “Sleeper Cell, Part Two” Civil War # 3 Cable and Deadpool # 30 (Cable and Deadpool and X-Men: Civil War should fit around Civil War # 3.

Here's the new reading order as of 9-20-2006! New Avengers: Illuminati Fantastic Four # 536-537 Amazing Spider-Man # 529-531 Civil War # 1 Wolverine # 42 (until page 27) Civil War: Frontline # 1 Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (until page 21) New Avengers # 21 She-Hulk # 8 New Avengers # 22 (until page 13) Civil War # 2 (until page 14) New Avengers # 22 (rest of issue) Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (pages 23-25) Civil War # 2 (until page 31) Amazing Spider-Man # 532 (rest of issue) Civil War # 2 (rest of issue) Civil War: Frontline # 2: “The Program” Civil War # 3 (page 1) Thunderbolts # 103 (until page 10, panel 3) Amazing Spider-Man # 533 (until page 13) Thunderbolts # 103 (rest of issue) Amazing Spider-Man # 533 (rest of issue) Civil War: Frontline # 2 (rest of issue) New Avengers # 23 Cable & Deadpool # 30 X-Factor # 8-9 Wolverine # 42 (rest of issue) Fantastic Four # 538 Wolverine # 43 Wolverine # 44 Wolverine # 45 (up until page 27) Civil War: Frontline # 3 Civil War: Frontline # 4: “Sleeper Cell, Part Two” Young Avengers and Runaways # 1 Young Avengers and Runaways # 2 Wolverine # 45 (rest of issue) Wolverine # 46 Cable and Deadpool # 30 (Pages 1 - 22) Civil War # 3 (Pages 2 - 13) Cable and Deadpool # 30 (rest of issue) Cable and Deadpool # 31 (Pages 1 - 13) Civil War # 3 (rest of issue) Civil War # 4 Cable and Deadpool # 31 (rest of issue) Civil War: X-Men # 1 Civil War: X-Men # 2 (pages 1-3) Amazing Spider-Man # 534 Fantastic Four # 539 X-Men: Civil War # 2 (rest of issue) X-Men: Civil War # 3 Thunderbolts # 104 - 105 Ms. Marvel # 6 Ms. Marvel # 7 Civil War: Frontline # 4 (rest of issue) Civil War: Frontline # 5 Heroes for Higher # 1 Just wanted to point something out . . . I was re-thinking the splicing of Amazing Spider-Man # 532 with Civil War # 2. I'm starting to think it may be a good idea just to forget about it. If you wanted to read this all as one big story (as I plan on doing) and don't want to bother with that mess, then I'd read Civil War # 2 first, then Amazing Spider-Man # 532. That way, you see him make the decision and then you jump back to see how he came to the conclusion to do so. ~W~

Hmmm…so, I’m wondering…do Civil War #4 and Fantastic Four #540 take place in alternate timelines? Or are we to expect that there’s a break in the middle of FF #540—maybe between story pages 13 & 14?

Indeed. The latest FF issue was like a puzzle with pieces before and after CW 4. I think the last pages of ASM 534 should go towards the end though.

Fantastic Four # 539 Civil War # 4 (Pages 26-28, Panel 2) Fantastic Four # 540 Civil War # 4 (Rest of issue) W, when you specify page numbers, are you including non-story pages toward the counts? I see you count Civil War #4 as having at least 28 pages, but there are only 22 story pages. Just a word to the wise—I think counting story pages is more traditional (as in Official Marvel Index publications) and generally proves more helpful when contending with eventual reprints, which may not have the same interruptions. In any case, a clarification would be appreciated. (Sadly, it is rare for page numbers of any sort to appear in Marvel comics these days.) Assuming I’m understanding your page counting correctly, I appreciate your analysis of the intersection between FF #539–540 and Civil War #4, which probably makes a lot more sense than the break I had suggested. I guess the chronology of the team breakup goes something like this: - FF #539: Ben decides to go into exile and announces this decision to several combatants, his teammates not being among them.
- CW #4: Reed, Sue, and Johnny attend Bill Foster’s funeral. It’s not clear whether Ben is present (ideally he should be, as a good friend of Bill’s—maybe he’s just off panel). At this time, Ben still hasn’t told Reed of his decision. (Reed might know anyway; his close ally Tony Stark is present at the funeral and was also present for Ben’s general announcement.)
- FF #540: Sue and Reed have a fight. Reed says Sue should leave; Sue walks out (well, floats out). Reed regrets her departure and hopes for her return. Ben announces his resignation and exile to Reed (who gives no sign as to whether he’s already heard).
- CW #4: Having returned to the Baxter Building, Sue interacts with Reed in such a way as to leave open the possibility that she intends to remain with him and the team, despite their latest argument (one of many in recent weeks). However, she and Johnny depart that night, quitting the team; their departure is witnessed by Ben, who has not yet left for his exile.
That sounds like a reasonable chronology to me. Unfortunately, it’s not really made clear in the comics; I had to do some extrapolation, and I imagine the W did too. On their faces, FF #540 and CW #4 do seem to strongly contradict each other regarding the sequence and circumstances of departure. (Sadly, Johnny is practically a null character in both series.) Maybe details like the ones I’ve tried to lay out will be filled in (possibly in Front Line or another tie-in), but I think Marvel should have kept things clear up front.

At some point, I may go back and revise the order and count just the story-pages. That's sounds about right. I really don't know why they decided to have Reed and Sue fight in the issue of FF, but have her leave in CW. It feels to me like it's a communications hiccup between Millar, Brevort, and JMS. Whatever the case may be, this reads right to me. ~W~

It's just a personal feeling, but looks like JMS would like to be more involved in the central events of CW. He wanted Spidey unmasking in ASM and wasn't too happy when they decided it would happen in CW, perhaps now he tried to push his weight around a bit

He wanted Spidey unmasking in ASM and wasn't too happy when they decided it would happen in CW, perhaps now he tried to push his weight around a bit Thanks, W, for your thoughts on the FF-breakup chronology, too. It seems to me that both the FF breakup and Spidey’s unmasking should have occurred in their own flagship titles. There’s really no reason they couldn’t be “simultaneous”, in the sense of repeating panels (possibly redrawn by each comic’s own penciller). Not that we should be expecting reruns at $3 a pop, but a tiny bit of repetition between Civil War and the ongoings would be OK. Indeed, JMS has been employing that very trick between ASM and FF. Modified: Corrected an ungrammatical and quite confusing verb phrase (probably the result of pre-posting editing) to “should have occurred”.

Whew!
I made a couple of changes, as I'm sure you'll note. I moved Amazing Spider-Man story deserved to be better placed as Spider-Man is probably one of three top players in the overall story. I broke it up to add some pizzazz. I may end up changing it once future issues come out.
Also, I moved Ms. Marvel because of Wonder Man's appearances seemed to contradict his appearances in Frontline.
I had planned on New Avengers # 24 taking place before Wolverine # 47, but there was a bit of a hiccup. It should hopefully hold together better this way.
Those Captain America issues are the hardest to place.
As far as Choosing Sides goes . . .
- The Howard the Duck story, I figure, takes place before the Registration deadline is Civil War # 2.
- The Iron Fist, USAgent and Venom stories can be pretty much placed anywhere
- The Ant-Man story goes with the whole "Battle of Yancy Street," since it's the only other MAJOR confronation we've seen with all those characters present
- Also, I just inserted Hulk # 100 - "Planet Cho." It fits best there as Reed is still working with Thor's clone and he's angsty.
- The Guiding Light story -- whoops! Not Civil War related.
Anywhoo, as always, this reading list is in a constant state of change. As time goes on, I expect more and more continunity hiccups and headaches.
Thoughts?

Easy week. And with the non-cliffhanger ending to Civil War # 5, it's made it's integration into the read order much easier.
EDIT: I moved the "Civil War: X-Men" so it doesn't interrupt with "Civil War" # 4 and the Battle of Yancy Street.
