I'm pretty sure Requiem isn't even in continuity, though it is a great story with fantastic art.
Here's a list of trades I cobbled together at one point:

Noval, Vol. 3: Rookie Corpse
Silver Surfer, Vol. 1: New Dawn
I don't know where in continuity Thanos: The Infinity Revelation HC goes since I have not read it yet and these Marvel OGNs can fall anywhere in continuity. My guess would be after the Annihilators books if Starlin is preserving the continuity between the Thanos: Redemption trade through the modern Marvel cosmic events, since I see the Annihlators mentioned in the book's preview.
