Marvel Cosmic story arcs?

Hi all, first post.. First, thanks ComicVine and all the mods & peoples!

Hey, so I want to read more story arcs that revolve around Marvel Cosmic beings. I've read a lot of older arcs (e.g. Earth X, Infinity Gauntlet, etc), but am looking for some mind-bending newer comic arcs (like 2010 and up).

Faves of mine are: Living Tribunal, Celestials, Galactus, InBetweener, Eternity... I got inspired looking at the list of great art from the many Celestials from @king_hyperion list - https://comicvine.gamespot.com/profile/king_hyperion/lists/the-star-masters-marvel-edition/8854/

The Celestials should have their own comic lines, sort of anthology, where each story is self contained.. there are so many of them, and the thought of giant controllers on a galactic level fits right with the times.

Thanks for hearing me out, and let me know if you guys think of any great modern reads!

@r1r1r1r: The Herald Ordeal is pretty old school, but it’s always been one of my fav Silver Surfer arcs from back in the day. Silver Surfer: “Requiem” and “Devolution” and “In Thy Name” are some great reads imo too

I hate cosmic story lines. They're always so convoluted and hard to follow

@r1r1r1r:

Infinity Entity

Ultimates Omniversal vol 1 & 2

Ultimates2

Avengers vol 8 1-6

Thanos "God Quarry" and "Thanos Wins" also "Infinity Siblings", "Infinity Confilct"

And many more....

And War/Realm of Kings too. Also Empreror Vulcan, but to fully grasp the scale of how grand Marvel used to be you'd also have to read Uncanny X-men 475-486. And Deadly Genesis before that to understand the origin of Vulcan.

You can read Annihilation, then Conquest. Parallel to it, Deadly Genesis, then the Uncanny issues and then Emperor. And then go to War of King (where those two storylines finally collide) reading order because there things get complicated.

Google it.
