Part 1.1: Welcome to Prime Earth

Most of the books set on the newly reformed Prime Earth pick up eight months after Secret Wars, but there are gaps to fill in. The graphic novel Rage of Ultron takes place in the interim, and Ant-Man Annual #1 deals with the immediate aftermath. The Point One issue sets the stage for several new series and characters. And— before we really get started—Howard the Duck and Squirrel Girl have some lighthearted, intersecting adventures.

Part 1.3: Guardians and Asgardians

A new era wouldn’t be complete without a fresh look at the wider Marvel Universe, and since Angela is both a former Guardian of the Galaxy and lost child of Asgard, her series is the perfect place to start.
