Anything in white is a main/supporting appearance, red is only a cameo.

Dark Avengers Annual (2010) #1

First appearance of the Protector, and also of Annie (no last name given). Not only is it essential it's also fun and interesting.

Ms. Marvel (2006) #50 [B Story]

Establishes him as the Protector more, also he is just so so freaking cute in this one.

Avengers (2010) #2-#12

People will argue to death about Bendis Avengers, but I liked how he characterized Noh. Definitely a departure from him in Marvel Boy but I find it a believable follow-up to wanting redemption.

I Am an Avenger (2010) #2 [D Story]

The entire story is literally one page but he is just so so cute here it kills me. Please check it out.

Avengers Academy (2010) #10-#11

He cameos as a teacher.

Fear Itself (2011) #1, #3, #5-#7, #7.2

Nothingburger.

Herc (2011) #4

Cameo blah blah blah.

Avengers (2010) #13-#15, #17

None of these actually have very much to do with him but he is beautiful and weird etc.

New Avengers (2010) #16

He's actually only in like 2 panels this entire comic. But he says some stuff I guess.

Mighty Thor (2011) #9

It's nice they let him hang out with the Avengers outside of the main run. Even if it is just cameos.

Moon Knight (2011) #12

He is so scary.

FF (2011) #11

I saw someone on Twitter ask "who's oc is this?" about him in this comic.

Fantastic Four (1998) #600 [A Story]

I always thought he looked a little future foundation-ey in the Protector suit. They should've let him in the Fantastic Four.

Uncanny X-Men (2011) #9-#10

Shrug.

Avengers (2010) #18, #19-#21, #24-#25

Not the most interesting nor does it really have much to do with him at all. Thought he was fun in #21 at least.

Quake: S.H.I.E.L.D. 50th Anniversary (2015)

Published after he leaves the Avengers, but is set in that time period. Again he just kinda aura farms and stuff.

Avengers vs. X-Men (2012) #1,#2

Gets beat up or something. Not really important, the essential part from these are restated in the beginning of Secret Avengers

The New Avengers (2010) #24

It's fun when they let him be in big group shots.

Secret Avengers (2010) #26-#28

My favorite story with the Protector. Really huge for those of us who think they don't mention he's Kree enough.

Avengers vs. X-Men (2012) #4

Shows when he was in space with the Secret Avengers.

Avengers (2010) #26-#27

Published right after Secret Avengers, kind of confusing in terms of how Noh actually got to this point after Secret Avengers. It's basically the same story as Secret Avengers but with the Avengers instead.

Young Avengers (2013) #1, #4-#5, #7-#9, #11-#15

I have really complicated feelings on this run in terms of his characterization, and the way it changed how he's been written since. I have just the issues he's in listed, but you do really need to read the entire run for it to make sense.

Age of Ultron (2013) #10

He's the only one who's in exactly one panel. Did they forget he was in the fight? Also I think he's petting Beast ?

Original Sins (2014) #1-#5 [B Stories]

One of the very few times he's seen with the Young Avengers (kinda) after 2013. Only time he hung out with Prodigy after 2013 unfortunately!

Guardians of the Galaxy (2015) #2

Fun that he cameos in a GOTG comic before he's on the team.

Gwenpool Holiday Special (2015) [A Story]

Second time they made him a shirtless DJ for some reason.

Inhumans Prime (2017) #1

They show his space apartment (huge) and they give him the worst suit I've seen in my entire life. Sets up Royals.

Royals (2017) #1-#12

Also have complicated feelings about this run. On one hand I thought the actual story was boring, on the other hand they show him as a hot old man. Jokes aside he really isn't allowed much character in this run at all. It's just okay.

Inhumans: Judgment Day (2018) #1

The end to the story of Royals. More interesting than Royals. His entire time with the Inhumans is forgotten immediately after this and never matters again so don't worry about it too much.

West Coast Avengers (2018) #6-#10

Really unsure why they wanted to put him on a team with his ex-girlfriend again. Honestly not that interesting, but they made him bisexual here! Also notably includes the first appearance of Jeff the Land Shark.

Annihilation: Scourge - Omega (2019) #1

Noh-Varr the group shot warrior.
