Ever since Marvel Comics Issue 1 debuted back in 1939 most of the stories printed take place in a shared universe. This list is mostly set in Earth-616 which is the main Earth in the Marvel multiverse but does include some alternate Earths/timelines that branch off.







This is an unofficial reading order and is undergoing a process of continual improvement but it is aimed to be as accurate as possible. Contributions welcome.



Note: on character profiles some dates are in real time and some are in Marvel Time with no disambiguation.
