Nothing can match the feeling of seeing a new reading order being put together by Omar sir.

The amount of work you put into each one of these reading order, you are a gift to our community, good sir. I'd like to pay you by finding the jerk that downvotes your videos. I swear who has the time to do be that hateful, go find another hobby.

Good luck!

I'm a 40 year old man who didn't ever read any comic books. Now I have a kid who loves to read, especially manga, and I'm trying to share his passion. And I must admit that I'm enjoying it quite a bit... But damn, it's hard to even get a grip on how I'm supposed to catch up. I have read some lose superman and marvel issues. I have killing joke, watchmen, and uncanny x-men from the ashes. There just too many x-men books to ever be able to catch up. I started with from the ashes because I found it used and am horrified by the prices of these books XD The mountain ahead of me is steep.

[@johandelpire7290]

Pick what looks good or gets good reviews, and enjoy what you're reading without letting yourself be bothered by all the past stories. A good writer should be able to make you understand what's going on without you having read a whole bunch of past stories. Maybe House of X / Powers of X is a good starting point for what's currently going on in the x-books, and you don't need to have read anything else before that one.

[@NearMintCondition]

I agree with Johan, pick what you enjoy. There are some great books still in print that I could recommend. I have been asked to start a segment about the best jumping on point for characters. So I can answer questions like this in detail.

[@JimmyBackbeat]

@@johandelpire7290 I might just give those a try, thank you. I have used Marvel Unlimited to read digital issues of the very first few X-men. It's often hilarious but maybe not as well developed as modern comic books.

Zack thank you!

[@jm21763]

It's an optional mention, but Marvel Universe by Byrne Omnibus vol.2 has the other story from X-Factor Annual #4 ;) It's not essential X-Factor reading though

[@BladePocok]

X-Factor vol 2 comes AFTER Mutant X.

[@jeffh8094]

Love all the work and love you put into these videos, Omar. Yours is the finest channel of its kind on KZbin.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much for watching and the the kind words.

[@martianpilgrim]

This is the title that destroyed Cylops. Claremont confirmed it in your interview. 😂

[@NearMintCondition]

LOL Yes, yes it is. Jean came back.

[@S.O.N.E]

Something about this era man, its simply just badass.

[@SuperRedVeg]

You Patreon beauties. This is key knowledge. Thanks NMC!

[@NearMintCondition]

Much appreciated!

[@timthehandler]

With Excalibur and New Mutants omnis on the horizon pretty much every X-title from that era has been omnied except for X-Factor. I'd buy them if they produced them. Of course, I'd prefer to buy Peter David X-Factor omnis. I wonder is they might do them after the Hulk run finishes. We can only wait and see. Great video again Omar. Good health to you and everyone out there.

[@NearMintCondition]

I would LOVE a Peter David X-factor Omnibus volume 2 Omnis.

[@johnlindsay7301]

The period between X-Men Omnibus vol. 2 by Claremont and Lee and Fatal Attractions would make a great Map My X episode. So many stories. So many teams and comics. It needs to be sorted out so the fans have hope that we’ll one day see it in an omnibus. That would make great KZbin.

[@maciejtrzebny3542]

This is awesome. Thank you. One question, why are the issues 41-59 missing? As far as I've seen they have been collected only in the "Essential X-Factor" volumes, or is there any other collection (please let there be any other form they are collected in ;)

[@dlove3623]

The X-Factor TV show had Nothing to do with mutants. It was closer to America's Got Talent... a reality show involving singing & the like. Maybe you were thinking about the tv show Mutant X?

[@MrSteviej893]

This video could've been another hour long and I wouldn't have minded. Great overview Omar. I was adding new comics to my shopping cart the entire time.

[@apacheco7030]

x factor vol 3 should be released towards the end of feburary or the beginning of march. cant wait to place my preorder!

[@NearMintCondition]

It sure will.

[@GorosaurusFanboy]

You should definitely add the other X titles to the X-men reading order

[@michaelmyers4943]

If you watch the other ones you can overlap them pretty easily. It's also not too hard to just look at the back of each book and see what issues are in each one and find where each book fits better based on that, regardless of how difficult it may SEEM. For example: If "Book A" collects X-Men 12-25, X-force 6-9 & X-Factor 14 and "Book B" collects X-Men 26-35, X-Force 8-14 & X-Factor 15, then you know book A goes before book B because the issues line up nicely, even if you end up double dipping with two issues of X-Force. Hope that makes sense lol

[@NearMintCondition]

Even if I don't I may make a seperate video when to start reading X-factor or New Mutants.

[@fausty616]

Better have those early issues in UXM Vol 5. And we could use a Judgement War OHC similar to Shattershot 😉. And personally I’d be happy with more Epics for the end of the series with the Jeff Matsuda art and all.

[@jm21763]

Completely agree with this, keep the original team in the X-Men titles - X-Factor Omniboo should start with #71 as X-Factor by David, DeMatteis and Dezago Omnibus

[@NearMintCondition]

I see this happening and one OHC for Judgement War would be great.

[@fierovalentine8326]

Awesome stuff. Just picked up 50 issues, time to start filling some holes... lol umm.

[@NearMintCondition]

Hahahaha. But is suck a fun series :)

[@greenlantern1986]

X-Factor Investigations is the best of mutant storytelling. Make an omnibus happen MARVEL!

[@NearMintCondition]

200% BEST Comment I've gotten. Because yes! It does need to happen. They could include All New in there too and still do it in three.

[@nelsoncarvalho6338]

Thanks Omar. Good to know I’m not missing anything except the annual crossovers. I can’t want for UXM vol 5 or prologue to mutant massacre to get the first 8 issues of xfactor oversized. We do need an omni of PAD’s Xfactors runs and I mean both his runs.

[@stephenmadrox2597]

ok, we really need some X-Factor Omnibus

[@NearMintCondition]

Yes we do.

[@xXCigarXx]

Incoming peter david x-factor omni next month.

[@lenadroconbotas]

Great video as always, just a few notes: 1.- You say that X-Factor Annual 3 is collected in the Evolutionary War Omnibus and that it will be collected in the upcoming epic 3, but you can also find it in the Inferno Prologue Omnibus. So it is triple dipping. 2.- Part of X-Factor Annual 5 (Days of Future Present) is collected in tp format in the Fantastic Four Epic Collection : Into the Timestream and it will also be collected in the upcoming New Mutants Epic Collection: Cable

[@NearMintCondition]

1)You are right, however it wasn't complete in the Prologue. 2) I completely forgot about the Epic, which I'm doing an overview of. Thank you for pointing that out.

Yes. The first David run on xfactor is even better than the one you know..

Hey Omar can you let us know when you get the discount for the X of Swords (Hardcover) whenever they’re released like you did for HoX/PoX? I got the the best deal on that one when you announced it compared to everywhere else!

One of my most wanted Omnibus ever is X-Factor 90's by Peter David, J. M. DeMatteis and Todd DeZago! (And of course the Peter David X-factor Investigations run)

[@NearMintCondition]

Mutant X was actually fun. Probably the best Mackie X-series he wrote.

[@bradmoleski6323]

Great video! Do you think there would be room, map-wise/page-wise, to get anything from X-factor Epic 1 in the Uncanny X-men Volume 5 omni?

Could you list the Uncollected issues up to xtinction agenda? I've basically all the same volumes that you have shown (fallen angels being the hc and not the tpb) and I'm wondering when and how I will be able to complete the serie..

[@NearMintCondition]

Fabio, the written documentation with missing issues will be on our Patreon page, however I can start mentioning those again. I just thought people were getting too confused.

[@fabioriccardo9290]

So it's only 41-59.. Phew.. From the contents you wrote on the actual video it looked like they skipped issue 18 which is in fall of the mutants hc 😉

[@marcelahernandez369]

i've never liked the whole Wolverine and Jean Grey relationship

[@andrewzaccaria8216]

Thank's Omar great video, as for your questions I want Marvel to finish collecting X-Factor issue's #1-70 alongside Uncanny X-men of the same era in omni/ohc and we're so close, as for X-Factor issue's #71-149 I think 2 omnibus should be enough and would be awesome, can't wait for part 2.

[@fabioriccardo9290]

As for xfactor 1-70 along with uncanny in omni or hc I think is pretty impossible.. After mutant massacre (and xfactor 9) Uxm has all been already reprinted in those volumes and there is just a little gap in xfactor issues to fill.. Don't think marvel would split and already existing book to add those issues in two volumes..

[@andrewzaccaria8216]

@@fabioriccardo9290 Most of Xfactor 1-70 is already collected with xmen we only need 2 more books probably uncanny omni vol5 and an ohc that recolects the xtinction agenda as the og ohc is oop and add xfactor issue 41-59 and the days of future present and some other mutant related issues and we will have all of xfactor 1-70 collected with xmen in 7 omni/ohc.

I’ll ask this again in an upcoming episode chat if you miss it here but just wanted to try here first in case it got lost in the shuffle during the liveshow: Does the corrected Silver Surfer omni have a new ISBN or just new product code? I ask b/c IST’s current SS omni listing has a product code identical to the corrected one listed by Diamond on their site and Bleeding Cool’s list of forthcoming omni restocks but with the same ISBN-13 listing as Amazon’s current stock.

Hey brother. It has the same ISBN. No real way of telling. Much like the case when JLI was restocked with corrected pages.

[@nextimaginaut]

@@NearMintCondition Ok, and thank you. Also, have you by any chance heard anything through the grapevine about more Longbow Hunters and Wrath of the Spectre restocks?

Is Mephisto vs. X-factor (et al.) entirely skippable? Not mentioned anywhere in the ongoing x-series of that time? If it is, I don't have to spend money on it, it doesn't look like a very good story so I'd rather skip it, but I could be mistaken.

It’s more of a Mephisto story so I set it aside. May added to the x-men order though.
