A [[Marvel Comics]] [[Miniseries]] with several tie-in books following the events of ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers Disassembled]]''.
 
Wanda Maximoff, better known as the [[Scarlet Witch]], suffers a reality-warping mental breakdown and is taken to Genosha by her father [[Magneto]]. When Wanda shows little sign of recovery, the [[X-Men]] and the [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]] meet to discuss what action should be taken next; they decide that Wanda must be killed. The combined teams arrive at Genosha when suddenly the world is swallowed by a bright white light...
Line 15:
The next Marvel Comics [[Crisis Crossover]] is ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'', followed by ''[[World War Hulk]]''.

=== Tropes found in the comic: ===
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: The entire "House Of M" reality is a short-lived one.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Hawkeye. TWICE!}}
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: The Aesop of some of the tie-in miniseries. For instance, [[Doctor Doom]] managed to get almost everything he claimed to want: his mother alive, his face unscarred, Richards dead -- and he manages to lose it all, mostly at his own hands, by the end of the ''[[Fantastic Four]]: House of M'' miniseries.
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Wanda to Magneto.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[Fleeting Demographic Rule]]: The Avengers went through a much more drastic reality warp caused by Morgan Le Fay only a few years earlier, and they reacted to ''that'' one almost as if it were ''routine,'' because they've been through so many similar incidents before. This time around, everyone acts as if they've never seen anything remotely like this, and they're all on the verge of stark panic.
* [[Godwin's Law of Time Travel|Godwin's Law Of Reality Warping]]
* [[Hero of Another Story]]: [[Captain America (comics)]]. In this reality, he was never frozen in ice and got to continue his life post-war. He only cameos in the main mini-series as an old man (prompting the other heroes to just leave him be), but a tie-in issue of his own comic summarizes the different things he experienced during the intervening decades.
** Per her own desires, Ms. Marvel had managed to achieve widespread fame and acceptance as a hero in the House of M reality, even though she was explicitly a non-mutant.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: What kicks off the event (arguably, the entire event takes place ''within'' Wanda's blue screen).
