Glad I don't have "gotta catchemall" syndrome. I'm hoping the main series will be enough.
I'd say the main series and Avengers will cover the bulk of it.
The rest will just be "How did this affect *insert hero name here*" stories.
While I happily bought most of the Civil War tie-ins (tho even SW couldn't get me to buy Black Panther), I will definitely be sticking to my usual round-up of titles for Secret Invasion. The only new books I'll be getting are Captain Britain and MI-13 (which I was planning on getting anyway) and the SI series for Runaways/Young Avengers.
I'm not a fan of Bendis and don't want to give him any more of my money than absolutely necessary, so I'm going to try to go with just SI and avoid both of the other Avengers books. We'll see how that works out.
I might also pick up the X-Men or FF tie-ins, especially if Beast/Phoenix/Emma/Sue actually turn out to be Skrulls.
