What is your favorite Marvel Event/Crossover?

[Hcmarvel]

I did a thread talking about everyone's least favorite crossover and Civil War 2 won in a runaway vote. Other contenders were Avengers Vs. X-Men, Age of Ultron, Secret Empire, and my personal choice Secret Wars 2.

But enough negativity! What is your favorite major crossover/event? I obviously cannot list all of them so I will try to use the Wikipedia article, and what I have inferred are the most well liked crossovers, in making this list. I'm also limiting to "Marvel" events as opposed Spider-Man or X-Men though with something like Absolute Carnage I was not sure if that counted. Because I think that was firmly a Venom event, I did not include it.
The list:

1. Secret Wars 1984
2. Atlantis Attacks
3. Acts of Vengeance
4. The Infinity Gauntlet
5. House of M
6. Civil War
7. Annihilation
8. Secret Invasion
9. Siege
10. Original Sin
11. Infinity
12. Secret Wars 2015
13. War of the Realms
14. Empyre
15. Other - Which one?



My favorite is Secret Wars by Hickman followed closely by the first Annihilation. I have a soft spot for the original Secret Wars...but it's not very good. I've never loved Infinity Gauntlet as much as everyone else but it's clearly good and its another one I have a soft spot for as it was one of my first TPBs. I think Secret Invasion is the best event Bendis was a part of and I think War of Realms was a solid wham bam climax to Aaron's Thor run. But yeah, it's Secret Wars 2015 and Annihilation for me. Both were wonderfully executed.

I would add Evolutionary War and Inferno to the list.

I would add Evolutionary War and Inferno to the list.

Polls only allow 15 so had to make some cuts. I put Atlantis Attacks over Evolutionary War somewhat arbitrarily but mostly cause I prefer Atlantis Attacks which is a bit egocentric of me.

Inferno is an X-Men crossover through and through. Yes there were tie ins but that in an X-Event more than a Marvel event in my mind.

I piut my vote in for House of M. Not because of the main story which I thought was okay but because of the tie in. House of M Avengers, Masters of Evil, Fantastic Four, and the list goes on. I can read this series all day

[Triniking1234]

Secret Invasion. Main book, Mighty Avengers and New Avengers were what I read. Pretty damn good.

Civil War would have been a better fit in the other thread.

I voted Secret Wars (2015).

I think it’s pretty much the perfect event. It was this huge, all-encompassing thing with big stakes. There was so many epic moments. It had some of the best tie-ins I’ve ever read too. The build up was immaculate, it all felt very organic. Plus, it probably had the best art of all the events.

Shout outs to Annihilation (lost on a coin flip) and Siege.

Operation Galactic Storm
Mutant Massacre
X-Tinction Agenda
Civil War
Acts of Vengeance

[Tony Stark]

Operation Galactic Storm
Mutant Massacre
X-Tinction Agenda
Civil War
Acts of Vengeance

Never read Mutant Massacre, but really dug the rest.

I would add Evolutionary War and Inferno to the list.

I know, right?! I feel the same way about...

X-Cutioner's Song



But understandably, the OP chose to exclude anything X-related and I won't argue with that logic.

[your_name_here]

Annihilation probably for me, it was a really strong event.

Both Secret Wars are great, too.

Always had abit of a soft spot for Siege, because it was great finally getting to a point in Bendis’ run where The Avengers were truly back.

[K7P5V]

My Top (3) Three votes went to...

Secret Wars '84





Infinity Gauntlet '91





House of M '05

[Tony Stark]

Civil War and some of the tie ins for me.

[Superfan90]

Annihilation
Infinity Gauntlet
X Men: Second Coming
X Men: Messiah Complex

[The_Last_Czarnian]

Gotta be Annihilation for me.

Secret Wars 2015 was very, very good (the Avengers lead ins like Time Runs Out etc were su-PERB), but after the event ended.... It felt like it never happened.
