I'm back, this time with more-than-complete single-issue sets covering most of the second half of Chris Claremont's legendary Uncanny X-Men run! Some notes:

• These sets are READER sets: some issues are in fine shape, some are absolutely beaten to hell, and they're all meant for enjoying, not slabbing. Many of them also include extra fun stuff that's not in the Omnibuses (and they're a substantially cheaper alternative than the Omnibuses go for these days anyway).
• There are lots of extra details on the pictures, so you should click and read.
• Prices are firm but include U.S. postage. If you don't understand what "prices are firm" means, I will happily add a few dollars to the cost...

Hi! Yet again, I have assembled sets of Classic X-Men and related comics, covering the first 9 years of Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men run--some of the most awesome superhero comics ever published. (You keep buying 'em, I'll keep assembling 'em.) Some notes:

• Classic X-Men's first 44 issues had extra stories, set during the time of the stories they reprint, often written by Claremont and drawn by John Bolton. The first 27 issues also had new pages added to the original stories. (The extra stuff has been collected, but the collections go for nosebleed prices now.)

• These sets are READER sets: some issues are in fine shape, some are absolutely beaten to hell, and they're all meant for enj

For people interested in reading Uncanny X-Men in U.S. collected editions, this is a guide to which issues appear in which formats, what's in print right now (or will be within the next year), and what's presently out of print. Issue numbers listed are only the ones for UXM; most collections also include the relevant Annuals, miniseries, issues of X-Men (1991), etc., but this should give you a sense of how the big picture fits together. (Other X-Men titles, notably from the Krakoa period when there was no series called Uncanny X-Men, are not included here. The 1963 series was officially just called X-Men until #142, but Marvel now retroactively calls it Uncanny X-Men (1963), so tha

Hi! It's been a bit, but I've once again assembled sets of Classic X-Men and related comics, covering the first 8 years of Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men run--some of the most awesome superhero comics ever published. (You keep buying 'em, I'll keep assembling 'em.) Some notes:

• Classic X-Men's first 44 issues had extra stories, set during the time of the stories they reprint, often written by Claremont and drawn by John Bolton. The first 27 issues also had new pages added to the original stories.

A while back, I bought a big set of Ed Brubaker's Captain America TPBs for what seemed like a very good price. Here they are (with two bonuses, see below): https://imgur.com/bvO0RWI

Unfortunately, the seller neglected to mention that they had apparently been stored next to a steam vent or something. They're all entirely readable--but they are all warped to one extent or another, and crackle when you turn the pages. My particular sensory issues absolutely cannot deal with that for reading purposes.

Perhaps yours can! If so, maybe we can make a TRADE. The books that were already in the set cover Captain America vol. 5 #1-50 and 600-619, and I will throw in (not-steam-damaged) copies of the

Many, many books. So many. U.S. shipping is a flat $7, no matter how many books you buy, so stock up. Minimum order of $10.

These trade paperbacks are all $5 apiece: https://imgur.com/qfi0qNw

These books of all kinds are $5 apiece as well: https://imgur.com/qJsNEXE

These hardcovers are $10 apiece, because hardcovers are fancy: https://imgur.com/KIo4A9t

Go to it!

My dad went hiking in the Rocky Mountains a lot in the 1960s and 1970s. At some point on one trip, he took these photos, then taped them together into this panoramic view. He is now going through his old pictures, and would love to know exactly where he was at the time!

A: When I tell you what's in it!

These are four very fully stuffed Priority Mail padded mailers. The comics in them are not bagged or boarded; some of them are in moderately rough shape, though they're all complete. Each mystery pack is $20 including U.S. postage.

MYSTERY PACK A contains 31 issues of Titans and 15 issues of Outsiders.

MYSTERY PACK B contains 25 issues of Firestorm and another 12 issues of Outsiders.

MYSTERY PACK C contains 32 issues of Preacher.

MYSTERY PACK D contains 38 issues of Rebirth-era Batman (the mostly-Tom-King run).

Go to it.

So Santa Claus is coming to town soon, and... Uncanny X-Men Omnibus vol. 1 is out of print and crazy expensive. Ditto for the Epic Collections that cover the early Chris Claremont issues. If someone just wants to read that stuff in print without shelling out vast sums, what is to be done? THIS: https://imgur.com/uRWTTf9

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

• Classic X-Men #1-37, which cover Giant-Size X-Men #1 and X-Men #94-131--the same as the first Omnibus. (Note that some of them are pretty beaten up, but they're all complete.)
• A Marvel Milestone Edition reprint of Giant-Size X-Men #1 in its entirety, including the ads and backup feature (since it's abridged in Classic X-Men #1).
• An original co

Hey, all. It's been a while since I've offered versions of these, but they're always pretty popular. They're reader sets covering Chris Claremont's complete Uncanny X-Men run, 1975-1991, augmented with tie-ins, annuals, miniseries, specials, uncollected stories, and more. The first few years' worth are represented by Classic X-Men (which reprinted the original issues with additional pages and new backup stories); later years are a combination of beaten-up copies, single-issue reprints, and perfectly nice original copies. Lists of the exact contents of each bundle (and notes on what's in each one) are in the photos: https://imgur.com/a/LO3c0W6 . These are meant for reading, not slab

This is the follow-up to my complete Krakoan single-issue reading order post, https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/comments/1d8sg25/the_complete_singleissue_reading_order_for_the/ . This one is about how to read the extraordinary "Krakoa" story, which occupied all the X-Men comics from mid-2019 to mid-2024, in trade paperback form. (Marvel seems to have stopped publishing oversized hardcovers that aren't Omnibuses, so... be aware that there are some OHCs out there that duplicate some of this content, but this breaks things down in terms ot TPBs.)

To head off the inevitable kvetches: you do not need to read all of this. There are a few crucial volumes (House of X/Powers of X, X of Swords, the thr

Here it is, now including everything up to the end, as well as specifications for series years and a bunch of anthology stories I overlooked in earlier versions. Enjoy!

NOTE: No, nobody's expecting anybody to read all of these. The Krakoan comics have a pretty clear internal timeline, but they’re designed to be “modular” - after HoX/PoX, you can read them by issue or by series, aside from certain events (X of Swords, Sins of Sinister, etc.), and can read the series you want to read and skip the series you don’t. See other notes at the end.

Imagine it:

"The stuff with the S.W.O.R.D. station was meant to seed a S.W.O.R.D. series that would have involved Abigail Brand, Cable and some wild-card characters who hadn't been seen for decades--there was this idea about mutants terraforming Mars, and that would have segued into a series about Storm becoming the voice of the solar system and planetary mutant civil wars. But that fell through because of the Storm and Black Panther storyline, so we needed to find something for Al to do, and that ended up being the Moira book."

"Yeah, the 'mutant religion' thing didn't quite work out. Si Spurrier actually came to us with a long-term plan for Nightcrawler that would have involved him and L
