Marvel Reading List - House of M

Continuing the journey, House of M! Or, "What to do when you've made a character ludicrously powerful."

I decently liked this cross-over. It's the Magneto version of Age of Apocalypse. One thing I like about it is you can just read the House of M limited series and get the full effect. The tie-in series are absolutely not necessary.

#the history of how the new reality happened. If you want to know how magneto took over the world, put Apocalypse in his place, this is that story.

#the House of M incredible Hulk arc is marginally interesting. I don't think Hulk really picks up until Planet Hulk starts though.
Incredible Hulk Vol. 2 #83

#How Doom falls to Magneto. Skippable.
Fantastic Four: House of M #1 (2005)
Fantastic Four: House of M #2
