Man, I have an obsession with Reading X-Men comics. There's so many X-Men stories for me to read such as Days of Future Past, The Phoenix Saga, Fall of the Mutants, God loves Man Kills, Inferno, Mutant Massacre, X-tinction Agenda, Days of Future Present, Uncanny X-Men, X-cutioner's Song, Fatal Attractions, Phalanx Covenant, Legion Quest, Age of Apocalypse, Onslaught, Excalibur, X-Factor, X-Force, Operation Zero Tolerance, Magneto War, Search for Cyclops, New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Xtreme X-Men, Decimation, Astonishing X-Men, Deadly Genesis, Rise and fall of the Shi'ar Empire, Utopia, Messiah Complex, Necrosha, Divided we stand, Manifest destiny, X-Infernus, Dark X-Men, Second Coming, Curse of the Mutants, Schism, Regenesis, Avengers vs X-Men, All-New X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Battle of the Atom, Amazing X-men, All New X-Men, Phoenix Resurrection, and the Krakoan Era: (X of Swords, Inferno, Deaths and lives of Wolverine, Hellfire Gala, AXE Judgement Day, X-Men Red, Sins of Sinister, Immoral X-Men, Dark X-Men, Fall of the House of X, Rise of the Powers of X). Whoo!!! I have a lot of reading to do.
Great video, UXM and XMv2 are u suppost to read each series at the same time. like swap series between issue or read one series at time, and is this how u are suppost to read every main series comic.
THIS is how a guide should be! Informative with no talking and relaxing music in the background. Also, it should be Casey not Kelly for Children of the Atom. GREAT work!
Thank you, very helpful. It can be difficult to navigate the Marvel Universe. Too many crossovers, in my opinion. Crossovers can be exciting as long as they are rare. If they keep coming up, they become a tiring gimmick.
Great video Thanks a lot I started reading at First Class, then jumped back to The Hidden Years and now i think I'll read since the very beginning. I just love the original team so much.
You might find the 60s run very dated. The Lee/Kirby and the Thomas/Adams runs are good, but these are not the X-Men as you have come to know them. Lee writes characters as good and evil, without shades of grey. Characters haven’t yet acquired some personality traits they will be known for in later runs. And some of the post-Lee stories are truly bad. I’m not saying don’t read them, but adjust your expectations, and take them in the context of their time, so you can enjoy them. For a great take on the original team, look for Joe Casey’s Children of the Atom limited series. And the 1980s X-Factor.
John Byrne's run was so good, soooo darn good that it was hard for me to keep reading after he left. Jim Lee had a pretty explosive start too, very impactful art.
Thank you dude, this is amazing. I'm stucked in Uncanny X-men vol 1. Maybe #269 or #270. Now I know what I have to read and where is best to just... jump.
@@comicbelief It leads into Generation X though, and I'm really interested on that lol. Even though many say it's only good for its first 20-ish issues.
I read the Chris Claremont X-Men run when I was younger because my father had a card shop where he kept the X-Men Classics (reprinted old stories) but my favorite X-Men run is Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run. I own the following X-Men books: Mighty Marvel Masterworks The X-Men Vol 1 The Strangest Superheroes of All by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby X-Men Milestones Dark Phoenix Saga by Chris Claremont and John Byrne X-Men Days of Future Past by Chris Claremont and John Byrne New X-Men Vol 1 E is for Extinction by Grant Morrison Ultimate X-Men Vol 1 The Tomorrow People by Mark Millar The Astonishing X-Men Vol 1 Gifted by Joss Whedon The Astonishing X-Men Vol 2 Dangerous by Joss Whedon The Astonishing X-Men Vol 3 Torn by Joss Whedon The Astonishing X-Men Vol 4 Unstoppable by Joss Whedon Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 by Kieron Gillen Wolverine and the X-Men Vol 1 by Jason Aaron Wolverine and the X-Men Vol 2 by Jason Aaron House of X/Powers of X collection Vol 1 by Jonathan Hickman X-Men Vol 1 by Jonathan Hickman X-Men Vol 2 by Jonathan Hickman X-Men Vol 3 by Jonathan Hickman
I’ve just started getting into x men comics (started with Morrison’s New X Men). A bookstore has The All New Exiles #1-11 and #♾️ for like $10. Is this something worth getting?
Thank you so very much for compiling this and helping me to catch up. I ditched comics around the Grant Morrison era. Hated the weird grittiness of the direction and was seriously annoyed at the shift to Emma and Scott. The art was also not to my liking either. Sooo looking forward to Louise's upcoming run! X-men 97 is dragging me back kicking and screaming. lol.
This is an amazing video, I've really gotten a grasp on how to read the core X-Books cause of this. Is there any chance Spider-Man or Superman could get a video?
@@devilofhellskitchen8521 Spider-Man is one of the few characters that you can read from the very beginning and find it enjoyable, if a little dated. His best phases are the Lee/Ditko/Romita from the 60s, the Stern run from the early 80s, Kraven’s Last Hunt by DeMatteis, the Michelinie run from the late 80s/early 90s, the Straczynski run from the 2000s and finally the Dan Slott run of the last decade. The videos start in two weeks, and should give you better details.
@@godzillagus8358 I don’t believe so. Even Prelude to Schism and the tie-ins to Generation Hope are separate collections. I thought it might be part of the Wolverine & the X-Men series omnibus, or the Avengers vs X-Men omnibus, but a quick search shows this is not the case.
@@comicbelief then do I understand correctly that Schism fits in between Wolverine & the X-Men Omnibus and AvX Omnibus? Curious choice to leave it out. I can only speculate why since I'm so behind in the timeline. Many thx for the response 🙂
@@godzillagus8358 Actually, Schism fits before both. It’s the event that launches the Wolverine & the X-Men series, then only a few months later we get Avengers vs X-Men. Schism impacts on both series and should be read before them. But since Schism had a prelude series, and they also gave AvX its own prelude (an unnecessary cash-grab about Cable), I guess putting them all together would seem unwieldy.
LOVE THIS! I can’t get enough of your vids, especially those about X-Men!…

What about the ashes? Sorry, I don't read the X-Men.

Another great one. Awesome evergreen content. Hope more folks find the channel
I Luv your videos! Awsome content! Congrats and a hope you never stop do it!
Long life for your Channel!

Another great work man, congratulations !
Another great video, thanks! In my opinion, the 80's Inferno and Age of Apocalypse crossovers deserves to be in the Top Ten 😊
I love watching these videos!
Great video
Thanks a lot

@@comicbelief Thanks a lot for the advice, I'll be reading your recommendations soon!
Excellent video, thank you for the work you put into this. Saved so I can reference this in the future.
John Byrne's run was so good, soooo darn good that it was hard for me to keep reading after he left. Jim Lee had a pretty explosive start too, very impactful art.
@@frankdrebin4 Me too. More so because I can’t stand the art of Dave Cockrum.
@@comicbelief Sadly, I agree wholeheartedly. 😁 The difference was jarring. Great vid!
Parabéns pelo seu conteúdo e canal. Encontrei de forma aleatória e virei fã!
Great video, very helpful
Amazing, thanks!
thank god for this video
Thank you dude, this is amazing. I'm stucked in Uncanny X-men vol 1. Maybe #269 or #270. Now I know what I have to read and where is best to just... jump.
Say what you will about the crossover events AoA is still my all time favorite
Thanks for this
Would love for Marvel to bless us with Jeff Parker's X-Men First Class, and Mike Carey's X-Men Legacy runs collected in Omnibus format.
It seems my suspicions were right. Onslaught is the best STOPPING point for Classic X-Men starting in Claremont
True. Though I wouldn’t bother with Phalanx Covenant
@@comicbelief It leads into Generation X though, and I'm really interested on that lol. Even though many say it's only good for its first 20-ish issues.
Krakoa x men reading order next ?
That would be a great vid, it’s hard to understand a way to read the entire run
I read the Chris Claremont X-Men run when I was younger because my father had a card shop where he kept the X-Men Classics (reprinted old stories) but my favorite X-Men run is Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run.

Thank you so much for this. Now if you just do Spider-Man I'll be golden!
I’ve just started getting into x men comics (started with Morrison’s New X Men). A bookstore has The All New Exiles #1-11 and #♾️ for like $10. Is this something worth getting?
@@bruja2591 The original Exiles series is highly recommended. But the New Exiles feels forced, like trying to reignite a series whose time has passed
@ is “the new exiles” the same thing as “the all new exiles”?
4:16 I think here is an error about XM/Alpha Flight
You are correct. Damn it…
Thank you so very much for compiling this and helping me to catch up. I ditched comics around the Grant Morrison era.

Check out Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men. Scott and Emma are still at the center of it, but it’s a great return to traditional heroics
Atlast Bro did it🎉
This is an amazing video, I've really gotten a grasp on how to read the core X-Books cause of this. Is there any chance Spider-Man or Superman could get a video?
Glad to hear it. The videos on Spider-Man is ready and coming soon. I’m working on Every Superman Run as we speak. 🙂
@comicbelief Awesome, can't wait to see it. I've been dying to know how to read Spider-Man

Is Schism collected on any sort of Omnibus or large book for that nature?
