Starting with the events that lead into it, Ragnarok has come, and now the cycle starts over. This is a baked-in restarting point, and once upon a time, when it wasn’t 15 years old, was my recommended starting place for new readers. It’s still a good place to start if you want to do a lot of reading, as it goes into why Asgard was in Oklahoma for a while, and why you’ll see palace guards wearing funky sunglasses and playing with smartphones sometimes in the backgrounds of newer panels and spreads.

This is also kind of a funny era, because while Thor is dealing with Secret Invasion stuff, Loki is off having a whole separate adventure of his own, plotting and scheming with other villains to take over the world.  There are two completely unrelated stories happening at once during this era, with almost no crossover happening between the two except for Thor and Loki occasionally being on the same page in the main title.

The main buildup to Siege itself is primarily part of the Dark Reign arc.  This list includes only issues which concern Asgard or Asgardian characters directly, from the entire era, within and without this arc.  To read the whole event, see the Dark Reign list. (TBA)
