		<description><![CDATA[A simple two volume set of the short futuristic mutant series.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With 35 issues and two specials, X-Men 2099 looks like a fairly simple map.  For some people, it&#8217;s fine for one volume, but for me, one is a little too big.  There is a natural story break after #25, but it doesn&#8217;t lead to even volumes.</p>
<p>Here is what appears to be a fairly simple map:</p>
<p><strong>Volume 1</strong><br />
X-Men 2099 1-5<br />
Doom 2099 14<br />
X-Men 2099 6-25</p>
<p><strong>Volume 2</strong><br />
X-Men 2099:  Oasis<br />
X-Men 2099 26-35</p>
<p>However, there were a few complications:<br />
1.) The Fall of the Hammer crossover &#8211; a five part story in which X-Men 2099 #5 is part 3.</p>
<p>2.) One Nation Under Doom &#8211; a line wide &#8220;event&#8221;.  No direct crossover with the other 2099 titles, though.</p>
<p>3.) X-Men 2099 Special 1 &#8211; three stories, only one of which is by John Francis Moore (X-Men 2099&#8242;s regular writer)</p>
<p>4.) X-Men 2099:  Oasis &#8211; a bookshelf story that came out the same time as the end of the series, but must take place earlier.</p>
<p>5.) If binding multiple 2099 titles, there is the concern about how to handle the last few months of the regular titles, when the editor was fired and most creators quit.</p>
<p>Solutions:<br />
1.) Since the crossover hits in issue 5, I couldn&#8217;t put a volume break before and after it.  And it didn&#8217;t make sense to bog down the X-Men collection with the entire storyline, especially since they don&#8217;t appear at all in parts 1 and 5.  Since their appearance in part 2 was only a couple of pages, and mostly recapped in part 3, I left that issue out.  Since John Francis Moore wrote both X-Men 2099 and Doom 2099, and the X-Men are featured quite prominantly in the Doom issue, I opted to only include parts 3 and 4 of the crossover.  I do plan on having the entire crossover included in my Spider-Man 2099 volume.</p>
<p>2.) X-Men 2099 was mostly separate during ONUD, doing it&#8217;s own thing.  No reason to muddy up the story, unless you were binding all 2099 titles together in chronological order.</p>
<p>3.) I skipped the special.  None of the stories really mattered overall, and I couldn&#8217;t figure out where to put it.</p>
<p>4.) Several places online want to put Oasis between #26-27.  That&#8217;s impossible if you actually read those issues.  The best place would be between #25 and 26.</p>
<p>5.) JFM stayed on board X-Men 2099 until the end, and wrapped up the X plots.  The rising water/Atlantis war subplots in the other books was mentioned and used as a backdrop in the last two issues, but it would make sense to just keep the X-Men issues together.  I&#8217;ll explain X-Nation 2099 and 2099:  World of Tomorrow in my World of Tomorrow map.</p>
