These titles are Spider-Man: House of M #1-5, Fantastic Four: House of M #1-3, and Iron Man: House of M #1-3. While most titles have tie-in stories occurring in the characters’ regular book, several writers did not wish to participate in the event, and so several books have House of M spin-off titles that run along the normal titles uninvolved in the event. The main story takes places place in House of M #1-8, with the tie-ins taking place anywhere between House of M #2 and #7. Finally, the official prelude to the event occurs in Excalibur (3rd series) #13-14. Avengers (1st series) #500-503, Avengers Finale, and Excalibur (3rd series) #8 set up the seeds for the House of M. Prior to the House of M event, a couple of titles had crucial events leading up to the main story.

#House of m series
Checklist:Įxcalibur (3rd series) #8, 13-14 Core series & side-issues Even better, writers who did not want to participate in the crossover didn’t have to, and could continue telling their own stories without interference. Still, if readers opt to, they can collect all the House of M labeled titles, thus creating a richer and bigger story. However, Marvel’s many tie-ins are also stand alone, expanding upon elements from the main series, but the exact details of the House of M limited is not necessary to understand or read any of the tie-ins. Of course, there are still many tie-in stories. This series is a self contained story that doesn’t need any other tie-ins to make sense. With the House of M, Marvel decided to take a new approach to their traditional crossovers, treating it more like an event rather than crossover.įollowing the success of Marvel’s prelude storyline of Avengers Disassembled in the pages of Avengers, House of M copies the event idea, with the main story occurring in only one title in this case the House of M limited series. Not only that, the sheer number of continuations and tie-ins often caused continuity errors.
