Part 05 | Mutant Genesis to Phalanx Covenant [1991 to 1994]

Vol. 50 - Infinity Gauntlet (optional)
[I skipped this event as it didn't really have much to do with the X-Men. However, it's huge event so I'm just placing it in the correct place within the X-Men continuity. You can certainly find a reading order for it online. I may come back to this in the future, though.]



Vol. 51 - Wolverine: Deconstruction Reconstruction (optional)
Wolverine v2 #38-46

Vol. 53 - X-Force: Sabotage (optional)

Vol. 54 - Wolverine: Weapon X (optional)
[I'm including this story here, knowing that it does not occur at this point in continuity. But in the next volume, and to my knowledge, it will be the first time that Wolverine's Weapon X past is unveiled. So I think it fits neatly here, as sort of a flashback. Plus, it's a classic, must-read Wolverine story.]
