I tried various ways of finding a GAF comic OT but they are all from like 2017? Unsure if it’s abandoned or using some goofy title so it’s impossible to find.

With that said I just recently finished House of X Powers of X. Loved it from start to finish, and I want to follow what Hickman is doing here.

Various results shown online on how to continue. It seems there’s MANY volumes of Dawn of X that come next. I want to get to and finish fall of the house of X/ rise of the powers of X, but I assume there’s a lot I need to know in between. Dawn of X is 16 volumes, correct? Amazon has various hard copies of the volumes but some aren’t readily available unless you pay waaaay more than usual. Any websites to recommend quality and not over priced?

After Dawn of X, what should I read?

Funny enough that's the next comic run I'll be reading. I'm also confused since the reading guides are massive. I hope I enjoy House of X/Power of X as much as you did

Are you wanting to read only what Hickman did during the Krakoa era (and then follow that with Fall/Rise), or the entire Krakoa era of all the writers?

The former shouldn’t be too difficult to get a good guide for (Reddit will have reading guides for pretty much anything in Marvel or DC), and while I’ve not dived into reading the era fully myself, getting everything Hickman wrote in physical format was still easy last year (the Hickman X-men omnibus for the main title, and then trades for his House/Powers, X of Swords, New Mutants, and Inferno). So if you’re a physical copy reader (which your post seemed to suggest), you should be okay for the Hickman-written titles.

If you want to follow all the titles, while this might be a slower way, they are beginning to release omnibuses covering the entire era. This will likely require multiple omnibuses, not sure how many, and like I said, you will have to wait, sometimes omnibuses for a run/era will be a year apart in release or shorter.

Just want to stick with Hickman. Mostly for my wallets sake.

A lot of dawn of X books compile from various runs it seems and not just Hickman which is good to get all the key points.

Just unsure what comes next as there is conflicting info online.

I just stuck to this recommended list in what I bought (in dbcb’s post). The Hickman X-men omnibus covered all of the main X-men title’s issues, and the others had trades dedicated to each series.




My issue with the Dawn of X trades was IIRC they each have only one issue of the various series, which I feel would kill the feel of the pacing of each series to be constantly juggling between series one issue at a time. I personally would prioritize enjoying each series for what they are to maximize how each writer meant to write them as rather than worrying too much about keeping everything exactly chronological in reading order. Like, when I read my Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern omnibuses and Peter J. Tomasi’s Green Lantern Corps omnibuses (both runs were written simultaneously and concluded together), I generally only switched between the two while reading after finishing one major arc from Johns and then reading said arc with the Tomasi issues and then going back to Johns and so forth, I felt switching between the runs every individual issue would be too much and would slow down the pacing of either run too much. But that’s just me. And depending on one’s reading speed, it could be less of an issue for you.

For me I want to read everything in Chronological order when it comes to Hickman Run. That includes the titles he oversaw but didn't write for
