And how would you incorporate Amazing Spider-Man into this?

Hope you don't mind if I hijack your thread to ask one question. Are these titles interconnected?

I can only really comment on the New Avengers and ASM, but this order definately works. However, New Avengers vol 2 is set before House of M, not after. All of the JMS ASM stories up until Civil War can be read pretty much anywhere before Civil War. The ASM Civil War book runs concurrently with Civil War, however, you can can read it before Civil War (it doesn't have any major spoilers). As for the ASM spin offs, all of the Peter Parker: Spider-Man and Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man Civil War stories are set after Civil War #3, butbefore #7. Hope this helps.

If you're throwing a Bendis reading order together, you also need Secret War, the Bendis/Dell'Otto mini-series. It fits after The Pulse volume one, but before New Avengers volume one.

To a degree. Alias and Daredevil were coming out at the same time, written by the same writer, with characters who interacted. There were some moments where you see the same scene from both Daredevil and Jessica Jones's point of view. That said, each stands perfectly well on its own.

Yeah, they're interconnected.

I like Pulse fairly well. Thoughts on Secret War? Never read it.

I've actually read all of these before. Just trying to give a chronological order to some friends who prefer to read it that way.

It's very pretty. Dell'Otto's fully painted art is a treat. Story-wise, there's not a lot to it, although it does feature some concepts and characters that Bendis and others would explore in more detail later on. It was a bit of a letdown on release, due to a quarterly release schedule, but it reads well in trade.

If you've read The Pulse, it runs in parallel with #6-9. One of the inciting incidents is an attack on Luke Cage, which Jessica investigates.
