I just finished House of X/Powers of X and I loved it bros.
For the follow up series, should I read everything or are only some of the books essential? There seems to be lot of tie ins such as exalibur, x-force, hellions etc. I can't seem to find a reading guide online.

What? Follow up? No, there wasn't one. In fact that was the last X-Men comic, it's how the story of the mutants ended.
So everything outside the main X-book, event titles and later Red is largely fluff. Most of Krakoa was make up for the 2010'a being a shit decade for X-books. Just read any that interest you. That's the only way to easily through the era.
thanks bros, I'll give them a go. For the multi series, should I read each one in order i.e. xmen #1, marauders #'1 Excalibur #1, then #2 for each. I've never really followed more than one series at the time so not sure on the best way to read them
at the end of the issue you are being given a reading order
Official Age of Krakoa reading order:
>1. Throw it in the trashbin
>2. Light it on fire
>3. ????
>4. RETCON!
keep crying
Keep supporting gay and lame shit until comics finally die off. I'm having more fun reading One Punch Man than i have had reading X-Men in over a decade.
I can't believe i went this long without giving manga a chance.
the OPM manga?
makes sense that the moron would enjoy bottom of the barrel goyslop
OPM is better than Krakoa-Men, though.
it is utter garbage and an absolute bastardization of the original webcomic, bogged down to soulless mcuslop
It's a fun trope subversion comedy with cool art. It blows the frick out of Krakoa despite never taking itself seriously.
Krakoa is beaten by a joke.
also, thinking popular means slop is peak midwit.
X-Men, X-Force, Wolverine, Marauders, Excalibur, and Hellions are must read for Dawn of X. If you don't like New Mutants you can skip that one.
If you don't like Excalibur you can stop reading after X of Swords.
Reign of X introduces S.W.O.R.D. and then keep reading everything else.
Make sure to read Inferno and X Lives & Deaths of Wolverine.
Drop Marauders after Duggan leaves. Destiny of X gives you Immortal X-Men, X-Men Red, and Legion of X that culminates in Sins of Sinister. At some point during this time is the A.X.E. event which you will get more out of by reading Gillen's Eternals.
Fall of X throws a LOT of minis at you, most of them are irrelevant, but you should start reading Invincible Iron Man for this.
Then you're basically just riding through to the end.
Krakoa was like a supercharged era of all the worst things in X-Men
>Time travel
>Clones
>Godlike power levels
>"The world is changed forever!"
>Humans aggro for no reason
>Every villain is actually a cool guy now
>Retroactively adding backstories
>Still can't commit to the world they create, and rely on villains of the week instead
>Return to status quo after a short intermediary period
Frick this gay shit forever.
don't forget people dying and then coming back instantly
and of course, RELATIONSHIP DRAMA
and battles caused by misunderstandings
and characters oneshotting everything one issue and being curbedstomped by everyone the next
and it's even more egregious with new guys who show up once and then never come back for anything besides crowd shots. although honestly that's a good thing with how bloated the cast is
And turning Apocalypse into a b***h that had to be saved by his YASS KWEEN.
And the fricking gays, snuck in everywhere.
They don't want me to read this shit, i feel like i'm trying to win a dare.
for the best experience, re-read it while humping a belt sander
Sorry, OP. That's the last miniseries before the books went on hiatus. The good news is they're relaunching the entire line next month, so be on the look out for From the Ashes.
X-Force is the only one I read in its entirety in the end. it has a very mixed reception, either you like it or you hate it for the most part. for me it's both and I don't know how to explain why it is both but it just fricking is
it drags on for so long but is also unbelievably rushed if that makes sense.
you know the basic story structure; introduction -> plot trigger -> rising action -> climax -> falling action -> conclusion.
well, in this case, the rising action stretches on for issue after issue after issue and then the climax, falling action, conclusion are all over in 3-5 issues max. repeat with next arc. it fricking infuriates me
