So how has been the Krakoan age, is it readable without going into crossovers? Every time i wanted to dive in i saw a hundred crossovers and mini series i wasnt interested on, is the main series readable by itself?
I felt the same with the X-universe of comics decades ago, maybe it’s a cyclical thing, they just get so convoluted so quickly. I think last time I was reading any X-titles was back in the 90s, and I just checked out and stopped reading them regularly. Anytime I hear about some new development it seems to get more and more out there.
yeah, they always do, the xmen line is usually a mess designed to shake as much money as they can with continual crossovers and events(even more than other superhero comics i mean lol). Thats the reason i just wait for runs to finish and pick up only stuff that its decent and contained in specific books. Wish they had a single main book where you could follow the story with minimal interference like Morrison’s New xmen, the first era of Claremont and all that.
Astonishing X-men and Uncanny X-Force are quality self-contained runs as well.
HOX/POX is very readable up through the X Lives of Wolverine / X Deaths of Wolverine. For my money, that’s where the whole Krakoan age fell apart.
After that I just stopped reading all but 3 books or so and it doesn’t feel like I missed anything.
X-Men, Immortal X-Men and X-Force are the three key books currently.
Well, thats already more books and events than i was willing to read lol, i doubt i will be picking those up anytime soon unless they collect a decent storyline together where i dont need to be jumping books to get the whole picture. Thanks for the answer.
