It took me about a year and a half but I’ve caught up on most of the major storylines of everyone’s favorite merry mutants. My X-Men Reading Project can be found here, and covers most of the big stories from 1975 to 2012 in order of release, then a list of the main titles through 2012-2018, ending with an intro to 2019-2020 with Dawn of X. It’s been a blast, and while there are some missing stories here and there, I feel confident that I can continue to stay current without fear of important spoilers.
The current era of X-Men (House of X/Powers of X, Dawn of X, the X of Swords Crossover and Reign of X) has been a lot of fun and I look forward to keeping up with the X-Men from here on out.
And who knows what the Marvel Cinematic Universe will bring?
I leave you with my favorite cover of this new era of X-Men. Written by Jonathan Hickman, this is a beautiful variant cover by Stanley Artgerm Lau (whose amazing work you should check out!).
