'Secret Wars' (1984) is important due to its universe-altering consequences. 'The Dark Phoenix Saga' is a classic X-Men story. 'Civil War' significantly changed the superhero landscape. 'Infinity Gauntlet' sets up later events. 'Planet Hulk' reshaped the Hulk mythos. 'House of M' changed the mutant population.
