I haven't watched it through yet but Omar doing the lord's work. Such a good resource

[brianman]

This is a great and comprehensive video. Well done and thank you. It's really disappointing they're going to discontinue the anthologies without Fall of X. I don't want to have to chase a dozen different titles to finish out this era. The anthologies were perfect, as you say, for the reader who wants the full experience. There's been a few decisions in Marvel's history since the 90s that have made me walk away entirely as a reader for several years. This may be one of them. We'll see.

This was tremendously helpful, Omar! I don’t think I quite understood how expansive the Krakoa era of X-Men has been. Sigh. Lol.

The post-hoxpox era of X-men in collected edition has been such a disaster. Thank you for trying to make it all make sense Omar. I tapped out trying to keep up (even any singles) like 3 years ago.

My vote for how to collect it all (if Marvel needs an idea) would be boxsets of the anthologies. Or if they are set on discontinuing those versions, you can put multiple volumes together into standard sized hardcovers like they did with the infinity saga, civil war, secret wars etc. Those boxsets were awesome.

Looks like it could be broken up into three boxsets. 1) Hoxpox-Dawn-x of swords 2) 3) sins of sinister-fall-etc.
I bet if the fans felt they had a guarantee that their collection could be complete, they would preorder the heck out of a boxset treatment. As opposed to omniboo that may or may not ever see certain series, or more specifically, not see them for years and years.

Roll out 3 boxsets over the course of 1.5-2 years, I bet people will show up for that.

Jeez Marvel should be thanking you for the marketing!

[CarlosDias-erdd]

I have to say, it is really impressive how you keep tabs on these reading orders. It's not enough that you study the books, you must have a gift!

[mattthompson]

The best there is at what he does! Thank you so much Omar! You Rock! Sad to hear about the Anthologies.

[cristianmorgan]

This is the third time I try to understand the reading order that works best but every time I watch this video I get more and more confused. I feel so stupid it makes me mad.

Randomly suggested during a live chat and this man delivers! thank you Omar

HoxPox is what got me into X-men and comics in general. I followed all the series religiously until Lives / Deaths of wolverine and then there were so many series spinning-out it was hard to keep track and I fell off. Really hoping we get a bunch of omnibus' covering this era so I can finish off all the series I missed, mapping them would be a nightmare unless you just have EVERYTHING in release order.

I have been collecting the Krakoa era in the Anthology format. I also buy the event books in OHC format to round out the run. I try not to have any gaps if I can. I am thoroughly enjoying this new X-Men status quo. I’ll be sorry to see it go whenever Marvel reboots.

HOLY CRAP OMAR. THIS IS UNREAL. Thank you so much you really are the comics king my friend 👑

[adamshields]

Dude! Was just thinking about wanting to know the reading order regarding Krakoa today!!! As a new collector so happy to have your channel around! Keep up the great work!!

[gqd]

That is a massive amount of books. I read a lot of these series when it started but the only stuff I really enjoyed was the books written by Hickman. I dropped everything else within the first six issues or less.

[Rodimusprimerib]

The best thing i have seen this morning! Thank you almighty uncanny omar!

[Assamita]

I love the anthology trade. Ill try to go in that direction and add anything that is missing. Thanks for the huge work.

[MashMashed]

Thanks for the vid Omar! Good to know that I have the books in the correct order.

[brendanobrien]

Reading Immortal XMen, Judgement Day, and Sins of Sinister in order was amazing. Immortal xmen is my favorite title

[Xtreme-cgss]

Thank you so much for all of these they are so amazing! Please continue making them as they help and I’m sure so many others so once again thank you!

[josealvelo]

What a coincidence that I’ve recently received the House/Powers of X and X of Swords hardcovers in the mail xD thank you for this video!
