Now that Hickman's run is complete can someone give me a list of everything I would need to complete it? Issue numbers, as well as hardcovers that contain them?

Whew.
Note: The run actually isn't complete. He still has material coming out for SHIELD. He said he'd get to it in the next few weeks.
Couldn't tell you when it comes to Secret Warriors - I think it goes first, and is I understand collected across the 6 trades with no issue - and with S.H.I.E.L.D. you might as well wait for the presumably upcoming trade, which I'd place between Fantastic Four and Ultimates (though if for some reason you feel compelled to get it in singles, it goes Vol. 1 1-6, Infinity One-Shot, Vol. 2 1-6). Avengers World is entirely vestigial to Hickman's larger plot. For the rest, in my own reading order:
Fantastic Four (Collected across Dark Reign: Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman Vol. 1-5, FF Vol. 1-3)
Dark Reign: Fantastic Four 1-5, Fantastic Four 570-588, FF 1-11, Fantastic Four 600, FF 12, Fantastic Four 601, FF 13, Fantastic Four 602, FF 14, Fantastic Four 603, FF 15, Fantastic Four 604, FF 16, Fantastic Four 605, FF 17, Fantastic Four 605.1, Fantastic Four 606, FF 18, Fantastic Four 607, FF 19, Fantastic Four 608, FF 20, Fantastic Four 609, FF 21, Fantastic Four 610, FF 22, Fantastic Four 611, FF 23

Buh-bye
Looking over that list it strikes me just how prolific a writer Hickman was for Marvel in such a relatively short time.
For some reason, I didn't even realize at the time that he was also doing some Ultimate Comics. I need to check those out some day.
Prolific, for sure.
I'm not your typical Hickman fanboy, particularly annoyed by stuff happening off panel too much. However, looking back I can honestly say that his and Ennis' work is what solidified my re-addiction to comics now as an adult.
I didn't realize until about a year ago that Hickman actually had written most of Secret Warriors (thought it was all Bendis). Avengers and New Avengers hit home with me because I've always thirsted for the desperation of cosmic oblivion. Finally, I was never into the FF, but ppl on this forum talked about it so much and since I had time between the Secret War gaps (ha!) I finally went back and read that run. It def won me over and added to the overall tale in a way I wouldnt have experienced otherwise.
For all the folks who are dying for FF to come back, my only apprehension is: Will any other writer measure up?
Are all of these tied into SW or just his FF and Avengers stuff?
