I recently made my way through Civil War and Secret Invasion. In the past I've read the event first and then read the tie-ins. This time around I read them together, going back and forth, according to reading orders I've found online.

It was a chore, physically, because I read in trades and switching back and forth between multiple books was not fun. And I also realized the event seemed to drag on.

I was curious to know how you folks like to read events and their tie-ins?
