X-Men Reading Order Guide – Era #8: Reassembled

Stories occurring between Uncanny X-Men #338 in November 1996 and Uncanny X-Men #365 in February 1999. A part of Crushing Krisis’s Collecting X-Men: A Definitive Guide. Last updated January 2013.

Ongoing X-related titles in this era:

  • Uncanny X-Men #338-365
  • X-Factor #127-149 (ends)
  • Excalibur #102-125 (ends)
  • Wolverine, Vol. 2 #106-132
  • X-Force #59-86
  • X-Men, Vol. 2 #58-84
  • Cable #36-63
  • X-Men Unlimited #13-21
  • Generation X #20-47
  • X-Man #20-47
  • Maverick #1-12 (ends)
  • Deadpool #1-25
  • Alpha Flight, Vol. 2 #1-20 (ends)
  • Quicksilver #1-13 (ends)
  • Mutant X #1-5

Notes:

  • Wolverine actually ends this era at #134, but #132 marks a cleaner story break.
  • This era includes the events Operation Zero Tolerance and Hunt for Xavier.
  • Mutant X stars Havok and does not exist in the main Marvel-616 Continuity.

Magneto #1-4
When: Following close on the heels of Onslaught, this occurs after UXM Ann20 but prior to UXM #338 and XMv2 #58.

XSE #1-4
When: Follows UXM Ann20/96.

Uncanny X-Men #338-340, Annual 20/1996
+ X-Men, Vol. 2 #58-59 & Annual 1996
+ Wolverine #106 & Ann96
When: Emerging from Onslaught, the read order of these issues is Wolverine #106, Wolv Ann96, UXM Ann96/20, UXM #338, XMv2 #58, UXM #339, XMv2 #59, UXM #340, XMv2 Ann96

Generation X #19-25 & Daydreamers #1-3

X-Factor #127-135 + Marvel Fanfare, Vol. 2 #6
When: #129 occurs sometime after UXM #338. #130 occurs sometime after UXM #340. Marvel Fanfare likely occurs alongside #130 (need to check).

Beast #1-3
When: Beast appears here after X-Men, Vol. 2 Annual 1996 but before X-Men Unlimited #13. This occurs after UXM #340 and X-Factor #130.

Wolverine #106-110

Cable #37-44

X-Man #20-29

X-Men #60-61
+ X-Men Unlimited #13
+ X-Men, Vol. 2 Annual 6/97
+ Uncanny X-Men Annual 97
When: Read as listed above. XMU #13 is Cyclops’s next appearance after X-MenVol. 2#61. Ann97 and the UXM annual occur prior to UXM #341.

X-Force #59-66, X-Force and Cable Annual 5/1996 and 6/1997
When: The 1996 annual precedes this run of issues; the 1997 annual occurs between #64-65

New Mutants: Truth or Death #1-3
Not collected
When: Occurs after UXM Ann97 and prior to #341

Wolverine #111-114
When: Occurs after UXM Ann97 but before UXM #341

Domino (1997) #1-4
When: Issue #1 occurs sometime prior to UXM #344.

X-Men Unlimited #14
+ Uncanny X-Men #341-342
+ X-Men #62-64
+ Uncanny X-Men #343-345
+ X-Men Unlimited #15-16
When: Read as listed above. Jubilee appears in #343 after GenX #25. The XMU #15-16 is speculative – they star Wolverine and Banshee, respectively, and I think they fall before Zero Tolerance. I need to check.

Deadpool #1-8
Collected in Deadpool Classic, Vol. 1; see Deadpool for other reading options
When: Aside from including Siryn as a supporting character, this has very little connection to the X-Men books at the time. The story arc ending in #5 aligns with the beginning of Zero Tolerance.

Imperial Guard #1-3
When: Follows from Gladiator’s appearance in Uncanny X-Men #341.

The month of #-1 Flashback Issues were released here, but none fall in current continuity.

Zero Tolerance

Uncanny X-Men #346
Wolverine #115-118
X-Force #67-70
X-Men #65-70
Cable #45-47
Generation X #26-31
X-Man #30

Note that UXM #346 has no characters that continue from the issues on either side of it except for Gambit, which is why it is collected here.

Psylocke & Archangel: Crimson Dawn #1-4
When: Both characters last appeared in UXM during #338 and in XMv2 in #61. Archangel appears in XMv2 Ann97 and X-Force #67. Both make their next appearance in  UXM #348.

Uncanny X-Men #347-350
When: Slightly complicating this, some X-Men appearing in #350 next appear in X-Men #70, which was collected along with Zero Tolerance. However, this story doesn’t really need to be read before that.

Wolverine #119-122
Collected in Not Dead Yet hardcover and trade paperback

Excalibur #104-110, #-1, #111-113
+ Colossus #1
+ Excalibur #114
+ Kitty Pryde: Agent of SHIELD #1-3
When: Wolverine is in KPAOS after his appearance in UXM #352 and XMU #17

Uncanny X-Men #351-355
+ X-Men, Vol. 2 #71-75
+ X-Men Unlimited #17
When: Read as #351, XM #71, UXM #352, XMU #17, #72, UXM #353-355, XM #73-75. UXM #355 mirrors the same story in Alpha Flight, Vol. 2 #9.

Excalibur #115-125
When: Excalibur #120 occurs sometime after UXM #354.

Not collected

Generation X #32-45
When: #32 occurs sometime after UXM #348. #41 occurs sometime after UXM #354.

X-Men Unlimited #18-20
I need to check the chronology of these stories.

Uncanny X-Men #356-359
+ X-Men, Vol. 2 #76-79
+ Uncanny X-Men/Fantastic Four Annual 1998
+ X-Men Unlimited #21

    Uncanny X-Men #351-355
    + X-Men, Vol. 2 #71-75
    + X-Men Unlimited #17
    When: Read as #351, XM #71, UXM #352, XMU #17, #72, UXM #353-355, XM #73-75. UXM #355 mirrors the same story in Alpha Flight, Vol. 2 #9.

    #351 has to got after XM#71 because in XM#71 Cyclops & Jean leave the X-Men and in #351 they are already aboard the plane

    Generation x 19-27 should come before uncanny #338… 338 opens with references to generation x 27
