Introduction to Chronology of X

Part 23 | Return of Wolverine to the end of the Uncanny X-Men [2019]

So this is the final stretch before the X-Men world changes dramatically with the start of the Krakoa Era.



Vol. 507- New Mutants: Dead Souls
[This story is important because it will lead to some Uncanny X-Men events later on. Also, if you pay close attention, some characters appear on a single panel in Astonishing X-Men v4 #17.]

New Mutants: Dead Souls #1-6



Vol. 508 - Until Our Hearts Stop
Astonishing X-Men v4 #13 (1st story)
Astonishing X-men v4 #14-17



Vol. 509 - Return of Wolverine
Return of Wolverine #1-5



Vol. 510 - Typhoid Fever (optional)
Typhoid Fever: Spider-Man
Typhoid Fever: X-Men
Typhoid Fever: Iron Fist



Vol. 511 - X-23: X-Assassin (optional)
X-23 v4 #6-12



Vol. 512 - Winter's End
[Grouping some issues here that do not fit elsewhere at this point.]

Merry X-Men: Holiday Special
Uncanny X-Men: Winter's End
Mr. and Mrs. X #6 (p. 1-19) (consider only up to the point when Rogue & Gambit vanish)



Vol. 513 - Old Man Logan: End of the World (optional)
Old Man Logan v2 #46-50



Vol. 514 - Dead Man Logan: Sins of the Father (optional)
Dead Man Logan #1-6



Vol. 515 - Dead Man Logan: Welcome Back, Logan (optional)
Dead Man Logan #7-12



Vol. 516 - Disassembled
[This is it, the beginning of the end of the X-Men as we knew it. After this run, the Krakoa Era will begin.]

Uncanny X-Men v5 #1-10
Uncanny X-Men v5 Annual #1 (2019) [Flashback issue]

[After this point, most X-Men characters go on to appear in the Age of X-Man reality, while other events continue to occur in the "real world". I will place the Age of X-Man volume closer to the point where those characters return to the "real world". It makes more sense to me.]



Vol. 517 - X-Force: Sins of the Past
[Including this story because it picks up some plot points from Extermination.]

X-Force v5 #1-10



Vol. 518 - Wolverine: Infinity Watch
[This wraps up the Infinity Countdown/Wars story. Don't bother with this if you didn't read any of that.]

Wolverine: Infinity Watch #1-5



Vol. 519 - This is Forever
Uncanny X-Men v5 #11-15



Vol. 520 - Rogue & Gambit: Forever

Captain Marvel v10 #4-5
Mr. and Mrs. X #11-12



Vol. 521 - War of the Realms

War of the Realms: Omega 



Vol. 522 - Age of X-Man
[Some issues are split into two (or even three) parts towards the second half of this volume because there are a lot of events that affect multiple series.
Also, Age of X-Man occurs in parallel to Uncanny X-Men v5 #11 to 21, and it actually overlaps for a bit in #21. In my opinion, it doesn't make much sense to mix Age of X-Man stuff with Uncanny X-Men stuff, so I opted to place Age of X-Man before the last arc of Uncanny X-Men.]

Age of X-Man: Alpha

Apocalypse & The X-Tracts #1
Marvelous X-Men #1

X-Men: Gold v2 #21 (p. 1-8, 10, 13-end)
X-Men: Gold v2 #22-25

[Must occur after Hunt for Wolverine because of Magneto's status change here.]

X-Men: Blue #31-35



Vol. 481 - Cable: The Newer Mutants (optional)
[Including this just for nostalgia sake. It doesn't impact anything on the X-Men side of things as far as I know.]

All-New Wolverine #33-35

Vol. 492 - Godwar
X-Men: Gold v2 #33-36



Vol. 493 - Hunt for Wolverine
[These stories were clearly meant to occur shortly after the Hunt for Wolverine secondary story. However, due to several factors (namely, Psylocke's transformation), it is impossible to occur earlier. Therefore I place them here, a bit after the weddings.]

X-Men: Red #5 (1st story)
X-Men: Red #6-11



Vol. 500 - Guardians of the Galaxy: Infinity Quest (optional)
[This has nothing to do with X-Men. However, it's the prelude to Infinity Countdown + Infinity Wars, which, in turn, will lead into Wolverine: Infinity Watch. Still, all of these Infinity volumes are very very very optional.]

Guardians of the Galaxy #146-150



Vol. 501 - Infinity Countdown (optional)
[I will just include the essential issues.]

Infinity Countdown: Adam Warlock
Infinity Countdown: Prime
Infinity Countdown #1-4
Doctor Strange v5 #3 (mis-labeled as Infinity Wars tie-in)

[I will just include the essential issues. That means no Infinity Warps stuff.]

Iceman v4 #3-5



Vol. 504 - X-23: Family Album (optional)

Small update

In this very small update, I added:


[Part 02]
Vol. 17 - From the Ashes
[Added 2018's X-Men Gold annual #2 to this volume, as it occurs entirely in the past.]
...
X-Men Vs Hulk
X-Men: Gold v2 Annual #2 (2018)
Wolverine #1 (p. 7)
...



[Part 04]
Vol. 46 - Deadpool Vs X-Force
[Added this Deadpool Vs X-Force volume right before Deadpool's 1st appearance in the New Mutants comics.]



[Part 11]
Vol. 215 - X-Factor: X-Cell
[Added this because it will be referenced in All-New X-Factor.]



[Part 21]
Vol. 450 - Mighty Thor: The Asgard/Shi'Ar War
[Added this Mighty Thor arc because it is referenced in the later issues of Generation X (2018).]



[Note]
I'm considering adding more issues to the World War Hulk volume. At the time I didn't care for it and just included the X-Men part of the crossover, but I may go back to it and include everything else. I may do it after I finish the era I'm currently reading, which goes up until right before the Krakoa era (2019).

Part 21 | ResurrXion to Phoenix Resurrection [2017 to 2018]

Vol. 444 - All-New Wolverine: Enemy of the State II

Vol. 449 - Back to Basics
X-Men: Gold v2 #1-3



Vol. 450 - Mighty Thor: The Asgard/Shi'Ar War (optional)
[I'm including this because Quentin Quire has an important role in here, and it will be referred to later in Generation X. Also, it slightly sets up the War of the Realms line-wide event that will happen later on. It's still very optional]

Mighty Thor v3 #15-19



Vol. 451 - Strangest
X-Men: Blue #1-3
Jean Grey #1-5
X-Men: Blue #4-6



Vol. 452 - Generation X: Natural Selection
[Including this because it resolves Monet's plot from Uncanny X-Men.]

Generation X v2 #1-7



Vol. 453 - Iceman: Thawing Out
[Including this because it's kinda short and features several X-Men characters throughout the issues.]

Iceman v3 #1-5



Vol. 454 - All-New Wolverine: Immune (optional)
All-New Wolverine #19-24



Vol. 455 - Techno Superior
X-Men: Gold #4-6



Vol. 456 - Weapon X: Weapons of Mutant Destruction
[It's this era's kind of X-Force team. It's not absolutely mandatory to read but it deals with some alignment changes for some characters, so I think it's somewhat important.]

Weapon X v3 #1-3
Totally Awesome Hulk #19
Weapon X v3 #4
-----
Weapons of Mutant Destruction: Alpha
Totally Awesome Hulk #20
Weapon X v3 #5
Totally Awesome Hulk #21
Weapon X v3 #6

Vol. 461 - Uncanny Avengers: Red Skull
Uncanny Avengers v3 #18-23
Deadpool v6 #31



Vol. 462 - Secret Empire
[This event is actually pretty well articulated, with most tie-ins seamlessly fitting between the event issues. As usual with line-wide events, only relevant tie-ins are included, along with X-Men related tie-ins.]

Captain America: Steve Rogers #15-16
Secret Empire #0
Uncanny Avengers v3 #24-25 (doesn't add much to the event, but it's a half X-Men team, so...)
X-Men: Gold v2 #7 (same as above)
X-Men: Gold v2 #8 (p. 1-19)  (same as above)
Free Comic Book Day 2017: Secret Empire (1st story)

Secret Empire #8-10
Secret Empire: Omega



Vol. 463 - Secret Empire: Generations (optional)
[The Generations issues occur between panels on the last pages of Secret Empire #10. It doesn't make much sense to interrupt the event at that point to cram in 10 issues of random, mostly irrelevant stories, so I placed them here, where the issue Generations: Sam Wilson & Steve Rogers actually takes place.
Also, I'm including the follow-up here, called Marvel Legacy, mainly because Wolverine "seemingly" returns from the dead in this issue, and it sets up Infinity Wars.]

Generations: Banner Hulk & Totally Awesome Hulk
Generations: Captain Marvel & Captain Mar-Vell
Generations: Hawkeye & Hawkeye
Generations: Iron Man & Ironheart
Generations: Miles Morales & Peter Parker
Generations: Ms. Marvel & Captain Marvel
Generations: Phoenix & Jean Grey (will be referenced in a X-Men: Blue issue)
Generations: The Unworthy Thor & The Mighty Thor
Generations: Wolverine & All-New Wolverine
Generations: Sam Wilson & Steve Rogers (make sure you read this after all the other Generations issues)
Marvel Legacy (Ignore the page where young Jean visits Wolverine Adamantium statue. The exact same scene will occur later in the chronology, in the Hunt for Wolverine arc.)



Vol. 464 - Uncanny Avengers: Stars and Garters
[This is the last Uncanny Avengers team volume (for now). The team will go on to appear in the 'No Surrender' Avengers lengthy arc, but I will not include it in this reading order.]

Uncanny Avengers v3 #26-30



Vol. 465 - En'Kane
X-Men: Gold v2 #8 (last page)
