X-Men: Destiny of X Reading Order! (Krakoa X-Men Pt. 3)

Following the beginning of Marvel’s Hickman era of X-Men in the Dawn of X and Reign of X, the X-Men line of comics will move into the Destiny of X, what is effectively the third part of life on Krakoa for the mutants.

Previously: Dawn of X

Previously: Reign of X

The Destiny of X is a true changing of the guard for the X-Men, as Head of X Jonathan Hickman leaves the franchise following the events of Inferno. Entering the Destiny of X, there are significant changes in the mutant leadership of Krakoa, as the Quiet Council adapts to new players like Irene Adler, Destiny, a mutant with the ability to see the future, and a destabilized power base for Professor X and Magneto.

If you’re looking to get started with this era of X-Men, make sure to check out House of X / Powers of X before beginning the Destiny of X, and again, you’ll likely want to check out portions of the Dawn of X and Reign of X guides linked above for the first two parts of this reading order.

The follow up to Inferno begins in X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine!

Sabretooth #1

Ok, so realistically the first issue of the five issue Sabretooth miniseries by Victor Lavalle and Leonard Kirk can be read any time after X-Force #1 in the Dawn of X (or really just after House and Powers). That said, it’s published here after Inferno, and there are small details that may make reading it more in line with publication order a better fit.

New Mutants #24

Chronologically, Secret X-Men could be read any time after the Hellfire Gala.
