[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.]

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)

Infinity Countdown: Prime

Infinity Countdown #1-4

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

Infinity Wars: Prime

Infinity Wars #1-6

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]

Old Man Logan v2 #19-24

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.]

-----

Uncanny Avengers v3 #18-23

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...)

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)

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.]

[There are a million tie-ins for this event. Most of them are pretty much unrelated to the main plot and are almost like What Ifs that happen throughout the various domains of Battleworld. In this volume I will list only the issues related to the main plot. In the next volume I will suggest some stories that are good/fun in my opinion or have a lot of X-Men in them.]

Vol. 329 - AvX
[Biggest crossover yet. Following my way of organising things, there is the need to split a lot issues. Again, if it's not your thing, there are several reading orders online that do not do that. Also, I'm focusing more on the X-Men side of the crossover, only adding Avenger tie-ins if essential.]

Vol. 243 - Secret Invasion (optional)
[As usual with big events, I only include issues that expand the main story with relevant information. The New Avengers & Mighty Avengers issues are out of order on purpose. These issues are flashbacks that reveal the Skrull's plot. They are placed before the Skrull imposters are revealed in the main story. I've seen this posted elsewhere and used it to read the event, and it works remarkably well imo.]
