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.
