Vol. 243 - Secret Invasion (optional)
[As usual with big events, I only include issues that expand the main story with relevant information. The New Avengers & Mighty Avengers issues are out of order on purpose. These issues are flashbacks that reveal the Skrull's plot. They are placed before the Skrull imposters are revealed in the main story. I've seen this posted elsewhere and used it to read the event, and it works remarkably well imo.]
