A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

X-Men Reading order: From HoX/PoX til now? (kbin.run)

I was excited for the Krakoa/House of X/Powers of X era of X-Men where they're actually doing well for once instead of living in Hell and fighting to stay alive.

I eventually fell off near Dawn of X or X of Swords because my attention is limited and fickle but i wanna get back to it and finish it.

So if i want to read the whole saga, can you help me with the order of the trades, and what, if anything is vital to enjoying or reading the story and may not be in the collected trades?

I would stop at X Lives of Wolverine/X Deaths of Wolverine. They lost the plot at that point and it hasn't been enjoyable since then. Wait for the next reboot.
