Inhumans vs. X-Men Reading Order

Marvel’s late 2016 and 2017 event-sized battle royale between the Inhumans and the X-Men has roots all the way back in 2013’s Infinity event from writer Jonathan Hickman.

The impact of Infinity and its impact on the world of mutants didn’t become clear until after 2015’s Secret Wars, though, as All-New All-Different Marvel comics made it clear the Inhumans Terrigensis clouds roaming the globe were toxic to mutants. Although these transformative clouds were turning latent Inhumans into powered beings – Ms. Marvel likely the most notable among them – they were also building to a genocidal conflict between two of Marvel’s groups of heroes.

Since Inhumans vs. X-Men has been so rooted in Marvel continuity for a number of years, I include much of the build-up that will prepare you for the event below, and then follow with the actual event tie-ins and crossover issues.

    The X-Men chronology is making no sense to me. When should I read Death of X? He’s dead even from the start of Extraordinary X-Men (they talk about it in the first three issues) but it doesn’t appear on any list until IvX. Any help would be appreciated!

      Death of X is, chronologically, the first X-Men comic to occur after the events of Civil War. It wasn’t released until the end of 2016 though, when Civil War II was wrapping up and Inhumans vs. X-Men was getting started. So in real time, people could only guess at what events had led to the current state of things.

      Where you read it depends on whether or not you want that state of suspense or would prefer to know exactly how things got to be the way they are. Personally, I read it before anything else and felt that I understood things clearly that way. I didn’t read anything later that made me feel as though I should have held off.
