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

Vol. 50 - Infinity Gauntlet (optional)
[This event doesn't really affect the X-Men (and I don't think it is ever referred in X-comics. However, since in the future pretty much every line-wide crossover includes X-comics, I decided to include this one as well. I'm adding Thanos Quest and Silver Surfer issues as prelude as I consider them required reading for the main event. Regarding the tie-ins, I'm jut including the relevant ones, which are mostly Doctor Strange issues.]

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.]

Vol. 64 - Infinity War (optional)

[Unlike Infinity Gauntlet, this event includes the X-Men (although in mostly background roles). Also, it features dozens of tie-ins. Most of the tie-ins are not included as they add little to nothing to the main narrative. Some tie-ins, although quite irrelevant, are fun to read, those I included as optional. Then there are some tie-ins which actually expand on the main story. Most of the tie-ins do not fit perfectly between the issues of the main books, and there is a lot of overlapping between issues, so this is one of those events that have a lot of issue splicing.
Regarding the prelude, it includes the formation of the Infinity Watch, which is the mandatory bridge between Infinity Gauntlet and Infinity War.]

[This has to be numbered "point 5" because it needs to be placed before Fatal Attractions instead of in the middle of it, as it was originally placed, and I don't want to renumber the 400 volumes that come after this, sorry. 

Like Infinity War, there are a lot of irrelevant tie-ins. I'm mainly including the mandatory tie-ins: Warlock Chronicles and Warlock and the Infinity Watch.
The prelude includes all the issues of Warlock and the Infinity Watch that occur between Infinity War and Crusade, along with a couple of Silver Surfer Stories.]
