Spider-Geddon Reading Order Question

[Sparko]

What’s up Spider-philes?! I just picked up the Spider-Geddon and PPSM vol 5 trades. I’m quite looking forward to catching up here, but I’m waiting for the Spider-Geddon Cover Ops trade to be released to get it all in at once. Looking up the reading order through this link (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.com...dergeddon/amp/) I realize Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider issue one is in the order, which I’ll get in trade, but the release date is not until May-ish.

So my question in all this is, how crucial is the Spider-Gwen issue to the overall story? 1-10 with 10 being must read and 1 being completely unnecessary. I’m thinking it’ll be somewhere between 5-8, but that’s just me guessing. I don’t need plot details, just a recommendation. Thanks so much!

Skip it and that's coming from a Spider-Gwen fan. A relaunched series tied up in the tie-ins of Spider-Geddon nit the way to go. I dropped the book from my pull list. Hope I've helped.

Honestly, the only Spider-Gwen issue that is pivotal to the event itself is #4, because it was effectively the actual epilogue to the event itself, and actually provided closure on UK and Noir getting killed off the way they did.

About the only tie-in issues that I think are actually essential is the Spider-Girls one by Jody Houser. That event explains a big moment in the climax of Spider-Geddon 5.

The rest are just standalone you can explain or handwave in a line or two. The actual Spider-Geddon issues from 0-5 are standalone, self-contained, and mostly quite enjoyable.

Wow. I appreciate the help, but come on, a story does not have to be spoiled to make a recommendation.

I'm just getting interested in Spider-Man / the Spider-Verse again (Secret Wars and its interruption of all the then-current Spider-stuff killed my interest back then) and have debated about buying into Spider-Geddon in tpb, especially because of hearing about what happened to Spider-Man Noir.

So far it’s been pretty good. I stopped at issue 3 to get the Covert Ops trade which takes place about that time, but no complaints. Even with the previous poster spoiling the story some, and Noir being one of my favorite Spideys, it’s still worth reading and collecting, for me at least.

By the way, I had been aware of something happening to Spider-Man Noir well before you started this thread.
