Part 16 | Exalted to AvX [2011 to 2012]

After Schism, the X-Men separate in two factions:

X-Treme X-Men v2 #1-7



Vol. 328 - Avengers: X-Sanction
Avengers: X-Sanction #1-4



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.]

Part 14 | Utopia to Curse of the Mutants [2009 to 2010]

Secret Invasion Saga



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.]

Secret Invasion: X-Men #1-4

Part 12 | Post Endangered Species to Manifest Destiny [2007 to 2009]

Vol. 222 - World War Hulk: X-Men (optional)
[Don't really care about the Hulk, but since the X-Men appear in the crossover, I include issues that lead up to the Hulk showing up at the X-Men door. What happens after he leaves is not included.]

Vol. 230 - Wolverine: Get Mystique
[Starts immediately after Messiah Complex.]

Wolverine v3 #62-65



Vol. 231 - X-Force: Angels & Demons

Continue to Part 12

Part 10 | Day of the Atom to Decimation [2004 to 2006]

At this point, the X-line suffers another shuffle as X-Treme X-Men is replaced by Astonishing X-Men v3 and New X-Men v1 goes back to X-Men v2 naming.

Also, from 2005 onwards, Marvel starts to entertain the idea of putting out huge line-wide crossovers in the summer. House of M is the first and it's pretty self-contained, when compared to what the future will bring in terms of crossovers.

Vol. 161 - Day of the Atom
X-Men v2 #157-160
X-Men Unlimited v2 #4 (1st story) (optional)



Vol. 162 - New X-Men: Choosing Sides (optional)

New X-Men v2 #1-6



Vol. 163 - The End of History
Uncanny X-Men #444-449
X-Men Unlimited v2 #2 (1st story) (optional)
X-Men Unlimited v2 #8 (1st story) (optional)
X-Men Unlimited v2 #11 (1st story) (optional)



Vol. 164 - Excalibur: Forging the Sword
[I will include all of Excalibur v3 because, although it is pretty uninteresting imo, it will ultimately lead to House of M.]

Excalibur v3 #1-7



Vol. 165 - Heroes and Villains
X-Men v2 #161-164



Vol. 166 - X-23: Innocence Lost (optional)
[All of this is optional, but is a damn good story about X-23's past. And since she will appear next on UXM, I think this is a good place to read it.]

X-23 #1-5
X-23 #6 (p. 1-22)

X-23: Target X #1-6
X-23 #6 (p. 23)



Vol. 167 - NYX (optional)

[Follow-up to X-23 journey before joining the X-Men.]

NYX #1-7



Vol. 168 - The Cruelest Cut
Uncanny X-Men #450-454
X-Men v2 #165



Vol. 169 - Avengers: Disassembled
[Although this is not an X-Men story, I think it's mandatory to read as a prelude to House of M, therefore, I don't consider it optional to be honest. Also, including stories outside of the x-universe will become more and more frequent as the crossovers truly become line-wide and the context is important imo.]

Avengers #500-503
Avengers: Finale



Vol. 170 - Excalibur: Saturday Night Fever
Excalibur v3 #8-10
Excalibur v3 #11 (p. 1-8)



Vol. 171 - Madrox: Multiple Choice (optional)

Madrox #1-5



Vol. 172 - Gifted
Astonishing X-Men v3 #1-6



Vol. 173 - Marvel Team-Up: Golden Child (optional)
[Not a very good story, but it features some X-Men so I've added it. Also including a Marvel Holiday Special at the end.]

Marvel Team-Up v3 #1-6

Marvel Holiday Special 2004 (2nd story)

Vol. 174 - Cable & Deadpool: If Looks Could Kill (optional)
[The X-Men appear in the second arc of this volume, so I opt to include everything from the beginning.]

X-Men/Fantastic Four #1-5



Vol. 176 - World's End

Vol. 184 - New Avengers: Breakout (optional)
[Including this because Wolverine becomes an Avenger here.]

X-Men: Age of Apocalypse (4th story)
X-Men: Age of Apocalypse #1-2
Exiles #60-61
X-Men: Age of Apocalypse #2-6

House of M #1-8



Vol. 192 - Season of the Witch

[This happens during HoM.]

Uncanny X-Men #462-465



Most Decimation stories happen more or less concurrently, but of course, I'm open to suggestions for different orders.

Vol. 199 - Decimation: New Excalibur
New Excalibur #1-3

Continue to Part 11

Part 09 | Destiny's Quest to Bright New Mourning [2001 to 2004]

The X-line suffered a huge change in 2001, and writers started to "write for the TPB" meaning that stories are much more self-contained and wrapped in 4-5 issues. This is good for the reading order because it's easier to split issues in volumes, but also bad, as it becomes more and more difficult to figure out the correct placement of each book. Still, I'm pretty sure most of this reading order is correct (because I've read it, ah!) but there are some things that could be moved around without impact on the experience.

Vol. 130 - Exiles: Down the Rabbit Hole (optional)

[Since Exiles will crossover with the X-Men further down the line, I figure it is important to at least read about the team's creation.]
