Before that. House of M is generally where I see the finger being pointed to start the domino of events.

There were events prior, but they really weren't on the "interloping" scope that the last decade or so has been. Infinity Gauntlet, Secret Wars, etc.

It's why I gave up on Marvel back then, event fatigue. Plus, with all those "Events that will change things forever!" no one could get used to the changes before the next event happened anyway.

Plus with all the attempts at tie-ins, individual crafted storytelling fell to the wayside.
