Add to favoritesAround this point, I was going to drop the monthly series and go for the trades. Yeah…not a fan of the order that Marvel puts issues in, especially with X-Force and Messiah War. I did get a few of the trades and splice them together – mainly the first two volumes of Cable, Messiah War, and the third X-Force trade.

Wolverine: MD #1-4
MD: Nightcrawler
Lovelorn (TPB)
UXM #504-507
UXM Annual #2
(Technically, Annual #2 goes between #505 and 506, but putting it at the end doesn’t screw up the story too much.)
Cable: Messiah Warrior
Cable #1-6
King Sized Cable
Cable #7-12
Messiah War
X-Force #12-13
Messiah War #1
Cable #13
X-Force #14

Messiah War: Future History Sourcebook
(Future History is optional. I included it because it was in the trade.)
Sisterhood (TPB)
UXM #508-512
Dark Avengers/X-Men: Utopia (HC)
Utopia
UXM #513
Dark Avengers #7
UXM #514
DA #8
Exodus
XM:L #226-227
Dark X-Men: Beginning #1-3
Dark X-Men: The Confession
(That’s not the exact order, but as noted, I got the official hardcover. Also, New Mutants #1-5 and Astonishing X-Men #31-35 probably go somewhere in the midst of this. But I’m planning on getting those in trades.)
Nation X
X-Men: Legacy Annual #1
X-Men: Legacy #228-230
UXM #515-517
Nation X #1 (all stories)
Nation X #3 (first story)
Necrosha: The Gathering #1
Necrosha X #1
X-Force #21
New Mutants #6-8
X-Force #22-23
X-Men: Legacy #231-233
X-Force #24-25
Nation X #3 (third story)
UXM #518-519
Nation X #2 (first two stories)
New Mutants #9-10
Nation X #3 (second story)
Nation X #4 (second story)
X-Men Legacy #234
UXM #520-522
Nation X #4 (first, third and fourth stories)
Nation X #2 (third and fourth stories)
Nation X #3 (fourth story)
(I had to combine Nation X and Necrosha X, because Necrosha took place in between Nation X issues. Also, the Emplate arc from X-Men Legacy can stand on its own. I included it here because the copy of the TPB I got from Amazon was slightly messed up. Also, the Nation X limited series can probably be placed in various places. The first story of #1 has to take place between UXM #517-518, though. More than likely, when I finally get this bound, those Nation X anthology stories will move around.)
Cable: Homecoming
Cable #16-20
X-Men: Hope
Cable #21-25
Second Coming
Second Coming: Prepare (prelude story only)
Second Coming #1
UXM #523
New Mutants #12
Legacy #235
X-Force #26
UXM #524
NM #13
Legacy #236
X-Force #27
UXM #525
NM #14
Legacy #237
X-Force #28
Second Coming #2
(For the extra features in Second Coming: Prepare, I will most likely include the cover previews at the back of Second Coming. The Phoenix Force feature will go either at the end of Nation X or Homecoming.)
At this point, I seriously cut back on my X-Men collecting, so the next few volumes aren’t completely comprehensive. For one thing, I dropped X-Men Legacy.
The Heroic Age
Uncanny X-Men: The Heroic Age #1
UXM #526-534
Generation Hope #1-5
Deadpool and Cable #26
(I left the backup story for UXM #526 in place.)
Escape from the Negative Zone (HC)
UXM Annual #3
Super Soldier Annual #1
Namor Annual #1
Dark Angel Saga
Uncanny X-Force #1-4, 5.1, 5-18
Hope and Fear
UXM #534.1
Generation Hope #6-9
UXM #535-543
Schism
Schism #1-3
Generation Hope #10-11
Schism #4-5
X-Men: Regenesis #1
Generation Hope #12
Uncanny X-Men #544
(Some of the Generation Hope issues could be spliced around Schism and Regenesis issues, but they also work unspliced, in a sort of flashback or replay capacity. Although, if GH #12 didn’t share pages with the Regenesis excerpt, I would likely splice that issue.)
King Size Cable takes place between issues 6 & 7.
You know, that’s where I have it, I don’t know why I typed it that way. I bound the first two Cable trades together, plus #12-13 from the Messiah War TPB. And that’s where it is in the trade.
Hey bluedevil2002
Congratulations on this awesome work, I’ve following most of your maps in my X-Men reading order.
I was wondering, are you going to continue the map? If not, can you point me in the right direction, so I can continue to correctly read the X-Men after Second Coming?
Thank you
It was about this point that I started losing interest in the direction that the X-franchise was going. Between Second Coming and Regenesis, I got a lot of books, and then later go rid of a lot of them. Binding wise, it’s been on the back burner for a while. Most of my maps though, would be similar to Corwin’s, with the main difference being that he includes many more issues. http://comicbinding.com/mapping/complete-x-men-vol-78-82
Thank you for your reply. I’ll be sure to check Corwin’s work.
I will still keep checking this post to see if you continue your map though =D
Have a nice day
