The Definitive X-Men Reading Order Guide – every issue of every title

The Definitive X-Men Reading Order (that’s also easy to follow!)

Giant-Size X-Men #1 from 1975, a key issue in the X-Men Reading Order!I’ve been an X-Men fan for over 30 years, but I’ve never found a perfect reading order for X-Men comic books – so I decided to build one myself!

I examined every X-Men title, issue, and major appearance published in their first 50 years and organized them into a single X-Men reading order.

My approach is a little different than other guides. I’ve tried to examine the X-Men’s entire history one story at a time – so you can read without switching comics mid-story. I don’t think inserting single issues between one another or even switching mid-issue makes for an ideal reading experience.

This X-Men reading order takes advantage of the breaks in stories created by Marvel’s collected editions wherever possible and was built by referencing release dates, chronology guides, and Marvel’s own Official Indexes.

The result? An easy-to-follow guide that threads all X-Men titles together like one massive crossover.

Is a comprehensive X-Men reading order more than you were looking for? For a trade reading order guide to any single X-Men title, like Uncanny X-Men or Wolverine, head to the Crushing Comics – Guide to Marvel Comics!

Or, try Instant X-Pert, which only include stories that were the highlights of 50 years of X-Men comics.

[Patreon-2017][/Patreon-2017]

How does the X-Men reading order work?

Click one of the Eras below based on the period you’re interested in or the dates your comics were originally released.

If you’re not sure where to start, each X-Men reading order era begins with a list of all the ongoing series released in that time period. Each era breaks down the primary X-Men narrative (usually contained in Uncanny X-Men) into digestible chunks divided by major storylines like “The Dark Phoenix Saga” and “Avengers vs. X-Men.”

    Hi. I’m interested in getting into the X-Men but I don’t know where to start. I’m a fan of Astonishing X-Men but not so much the 60s & 70s X-Men, the overly cheesy era. If anybody could make any suggestions that would be great. Thanks!

    Timothy, a lot of Astonishing fans would either hop backwards to the immediately preceding Grant Morrison New X-Men or move forward to the next chronological story, Messiah Complex.

    Of course, there are MANY prior jumping on points in Uncanny X-Men that come after the original Silver Age era you want to avoid; I’ve listed them here: https://www.crushingkrisis.com/definitive-guide-to-collecting-x-men-as-graphic-novels/where-to-start-reading-x-men-comic-books/#uxm

    Hi, first of all, great work! Your X-men Guide is fabulous. I wonder if you’ll continue your guide after Era #15, since 2016 marks a new beginning to the marvel comics. I hope so.

      Frank, I continue to debate if I’m going to continue the Reading Order. I have a lot of that next period mapped out, but it would take a TON of time to re-read it as I put it together and right now I’d love to spend that time on making new character guides. I may wind up making this a stretch goal for my Patreon campaign.

    Joss Whedon’s Astonishing Xmen 1-12
    House of M and the House of M: Decimation
    Astonishing Xmen 13-24 and Giant Sized Astonishing Xmen 1
    Xmen: Deadly Genesis
    Xmen: Messiah Complex

      Mark, comics fans are crazy people who would tell you to read forward from X-Men #1 in 1963 if you have the time, and that includes me. I’ve got an article called “Where to Start Reading X-Men” that suggests start points across multiple series. That said, I don’t always think it’s worthwhile to cast back years and years to find a perfect start point when you’re enjoying current material – sometimes it’s best to hopskotch backward a chunk at a time. From that perspective, one major hop back from UXF is Messiah Complex.

      However, here’s the honest truth about Uncanny X-Force: It reads just fine on it’s own, but it doesn’t really hurt to have read X-Force, Vol. 3 (for background on Angel’s recent history) or the Weapon X arc of New X-Men (for background on Fantomex).

      I don’t really understand that list, as it’s a mix of single series and events and has at least one thing out of order. Happy to provide some clarification on a more specific question about how to use it.

    Hi. I want to say thank you for this list. I have honestly read almost a great deal of comics and love having a good system for it. I do have to ask though. When will era 15 be ready? I’m pretty much reading up to date on new books but I have no clue what I’m missing from that missing era. I do so hope you finish that one. There’s a lot of books in there and don’t want to miss a single one. Thank you again for all your hard work. I can’t even imagine how you went about this.

    While I know it’s nowhere near as concise or aesthetically pleasing as your lists, I went ahead and compiled my own orders for what would be “15 – Yesterday’s X-Men” and what I would call “16 – All New All Different X-Men”, 16 is still very much a work in progress as it would be Secret Wars until now, which doesn’t leave room for much more than 10-11 months of comics.

    That said, for anyone interested, my list for “15” is below. This goes from the end of “Era #15”, or the end of AvX, directly into Secret Wars.

    I wouldn’t recommend going into Secret Wars without reading Hickman’s ENTIRE Avengers and New Avengers runs leading in, but that’s a conversation for a different time and place…

    I cannot guarantee this is complete, it has been culled from a variety of sources, but the majority of the initial ordering came from http://comicbinding.com/mapping/complete-x-men-volumes-88-100-the-new-revolution with some heavy modifications by myself as warranted while reading.

      X-Men 2099 has nothing to do with the main timeline of X-Men – it’s not even strongly connected to the future timelines of Cable, Rachel Summers, et al. Spider-Man 2099 is one of the only 2099 characters to spend significant story time in the main 616 Universe – and even that came much later in his existence as a character.

      Thus, it has no intersection with your X-Men reading at all! You could just intersperse it with your read in chunks based on its release dates (it began the same month as Fatal Attractions and ended during Onslaught, with the final 2099 story in
      2099: World of Tomorrow (1996) #8 out just before Operation: Zero Tolerance).

      There is a character who eventually turns up a few years later in X-Force #91-92, so you should finish all of your 2099 reading by then.

    Do the ‘Classic X-men’ and ‘x-men first class’ collections (the modern stories telling unheard stories from the past in both cases, not classic as in old but the title of the book) detail where they fit in between old issues or are they just from general time periods? Say if I wanted to read then chronologically story wise

Right now my focus is on tightening and adding clarity to all of the existing reading order eras, which is a time-consuming process (as well as updating the 200+ guides on CK). While I would never say never to expanding this guide to new eras in the long-term, there are a lot of folks out there more passionate about post-2012 X-Men then I am who have worked to cover 2012 to present.

          I was going to be sad about this update, but as I am just now embarking on this journey, there is a solid chance you get to updating it sooner than I get halfway through your content. Currently reading a lot of your recommendations to get prepared for the Claremont era. Thank you so much for the hard work, I would have dove in headfirst after only reading origins and first class, but there is so much I would have missed. You’re the real hero here!

          P.S. if anyone reads this, is Captain Britain worth reading? At this time that is one of the only things I plan to skip, other than the Super Spider-Man issues that fall in the early Claremont era and other crossovers of his.

            You truly don’t need Captain Britain to enjoy X-Men. I’d say that there’s a fair bit of his later Moore/Davis material that Excalibur references pretty heavily, but there are many thousands of people who have never read all of it and still loved Excaibur (myself included).
