Summary Staring face first at a comics franchise as rich as X-Men can be as exciting as it is intimidating for new readers. Truthfully, preparing to dive headfirst into a franchise with 61 years' worth of history can be intimidating and even scary more than anything.
2 Giant-Size X-Men #1 By Len Wein and Dave Cockrum A strong argument can be made that if there was a single issue that was essential reading, Giant-Size X-Men #1 is more essential to read than 1963's X-Men #1. While X-Men #1 marked the beginning of the entire franchise, Giant-Size X-Men #1 marked the beginning of the franchise as audiences know it today.
4 Days of Future Past Uncanny X-Men #141-142 by Chris Claremont and John Byrne Days of Future Past is considered one of the most quintessential storylines in X-Men lore, despite only taking place over the course of two issues. In this relatively short story, Days of Future Past produced enough intrigue for X-Men writers and artists to continue revisiting this world over the years, including in a fairly recent sequel.
6 Fatal Attractions By Fabian Nicieza, Scott Lobdell, Andy Kubert, Adam Kubert, Greg Capullo, Joe Quesada, Ken Lashley, John Romita, Jr. Fatal Attractions is another X-Men crossover event that would find its way into being adapted in X-Men '97. One particular moment that ranks highly among the best remembered in X-Men history is when Magneto rips the adamantium from Wolverine's skeleton.
Even outside that connective thread, this is a must-read for the simple fact that it marks the beginning of Grant Morrison's run on NewX-Men, considered by many to be one of the most definitive that the franchise has to offer. Among many elements, this run and a number of its storylines introduce what would become a staple of the franchise: the idea of mutants gaining powerful secondary mutations.
The entire future of mutantkind hinges on this child, with multiple factions vying to either rescue her or kill her. Naturally, this one concept is ambitious enough to stretch the X-Men franchise into three years' worth of storytelling. While there would still be room for additional storytelling after this , it would feel like the end is nigh with this ambitious three-part project. This arc would also introduce a pivotal character in X-lore, Hope Summers.
For five years, the Krakoa Era would introduce unique, often eerie sci-fi elements into the franchise, depicting the X-Men in an entirely new way. It's not easy to create a reboot that serves simultaneously as a perfect entry point for new fans and an act of progression that old fans can still enjoy, but that's what this is.
