X-Men Reading Order, Part. 7: Destiny of X, The Second Age of the X-Men of Krakoa

 

This is Part #7 of our tentative to compile a comprehensive X-Men Reading Order using the collected editions – You can find the first part here (The Silver Age & Chris Claremont, 1963-91), the second part here (Age of Apocalypse & Onslaught, 1991-2001), the third part here (From the Grant Morrison era to Civil War), the fourth part that leads us to Avengers Vs. X-Men, the fifth part (from Marvel NOW Reading Order to ResurrXion Era), and the sixth part (The Jonathan Hickman Era).

Titled “The Second Age of the X-Men of Krakoa,” the X-Men era is not a new one. It’s the continuation of the Jonathan Hickman Era, without Hickman. He left after the last Inferno miniseries. It’s the direct sequel to “Reign of X.”

The first part of this new age for the X-Men of Krakoa is “Destiny of X“. Like “Dawn of X,” there’s a prelude story and a new collection of spin-off series (like Immortal X-Men, Knights Of X, Legion Of X, and X-Men Red). Here is the pitch: Mutantkind’s future is reshaped once more, as Krakoa’s greatest triumphs and most crushing challenges still lie ahead.

The most expansive Wolverine story of all time! Logan. James Howlett. Weapon X. The mutant known as Wolverine has lived many lives under many identities, but never before has the fate of the future been so entwined with his past! To prevent a terrible tragedy, Logan must travel to various points in time to prevent the death of a key figure in mutant history. But that is only the beginning…because for every life, there is a death!

X-Men Hickman Event Alert! The X-Men claim they’re Earth’s new gods. The Eternals know that position is already filled. And the Avengers are about to realize exactly how many secrets their so-called friends have been keeping from them! This is A.X.E.: Judgment Day. For a complete reading order of the event, go to our dedicated page.

Event Alert! The Dark Web!!! Ben Reilly and Madelyne Pryor have had enough — and they’re reigniting the Inferno! And as Chasm and the Goblin Queen spin their dark web over New York City, Spider-Man and the X-Men are not ready for what’s coming! Go to the reading order for more details.
