House of M -- What Order to Read the Titles in One Sitting?

[Michael]

I've been collecting all the House of M comics with the premeditated decision NOT to read any of them until I have them all. The good in this is that one gets to read the whole saga at once. The bad news is that if you read a comic "out of order" a big surprise may be blown before you read the "earlier" issues. With these crossover comics, this can be a problem, to figure out what order one should read the comics. That said ... my question:

In what order should all the House of M related books be read? First to last, taking into accout the possible need to jump from title to title. Or is this question still premature?

Thanks.

Start with HoM #1 and 2. The rest of the miniseries' can be read in any order you choose, but I think it becomes increasingly clear from #3 onwards, that the actual HoM miniseries takes place after all the other minis.

The Pulse Issue (not special) should be read right after issue 5 I belive.

The Pulse Newspaper should be read after Issue 2.

How many issues of The Pulse have seen print? Is it an ongoing series, or just a one-shot?

I've avoided Mutopia completely, as well as the Hulk HoM, and wish I had avoided Iron Man HOM... but FF HoM was great! and it stood alone, not affecting the main HOM storyline :rolleyes: yet...

The Pulse is on issue 11 right now, it's ongoing, and usually features Jessica Jones, Ben Urich, Luke Cage and Kat Farrell. It's one of my top 5 comics right now (with Runaways, Young Avengers, Legion and Invincible)

I have only picked up issue #10, cause it dealt with Hawkeye so much, and I don't recall seeing the series at all at my local comic shop prior to this. So, I thought it might have been a one-issue stunt that Marvel was pulling, implying that it had been an ongoing publication (kind of the reverse of the Sentry crap...) :rolleyes:

based on the rear ad and going from the most used as to least and within the as just on the order that I grabed them when ordering.

All of the tie-ins "stand alone," so really, the idea of trying to read every book with "House of M" on the cover "in sequence" is rather beside the point.

Read 1-8 straight through, and the others at your leisure.
