Jeez Omar, that's one heckuva of workout hauling out all those books. Omnibus's are great way to exercise the brain and bisceps. Mutant Massacre is my all time favourite cross over.
That list brings back so many memories especially Mutant Massacre and Fall of Mutants when I was in high school and college respectively. I've always liked it when the X-Men ventured out into space so my list would include the Lilandra/Shiar story line in Uncanny #107-108 where the X-Men battle the Imperial Guard for the first time and encounter the Starjammers. Also the Brood story line from Uncanny #162-167 where we finally get a Wolverine solo story in #162, introduction of Binary and the X-Men meeting the New Mutants for the first time.
Nice list! Here's my personal ranking: 10. Asgardian Wars 9. X-Cutioner's Song 8. Days of Future Past 7. Inferno 6. Messiah Complex 5. Mutant Massacre 4. X-Factor Endgame 3. House of X/Powers of X 2. Age of Apocalypse 1. Dark Phoenix Saga If I could only include the X-Factor and Uncanny X-Men parts of Fall of the Mutants, it would be an easy #1, but the New Mutants arc is just sooooo bad. I never want to read about Bird Brain again lol. The UXM part in Dallas though is actually my favorite arc in all of X-Men.
Same here. I didn't like the New Mutants part either, which is why The Fall of the Mutants is only 9th for me. Without this part, this event would be number 5 for me.
Great list! As an X-Men fan I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Here's my list: Honorable mention: House of X / Powers of X; Avengers vs. X-Men 10. The Fall of the Mutants 9. Days of Future Past 8. Mutant Genesis (X-Men Vol. 2 #1-3) 7. X-Cutioner's Song 6. Messiah Complex 5. Mutant Massacre 4. Age of Apocalypse 3. Fatal Attractions 2. Inferno 1. The Dark Phoenix Saga
My top 10: 10- E for Extintion 9- Messiah Complex 8- Muir Island Saga 7- Inferno 8- Brood Saga 7- Age of Apocalypse 6- X-Cutioner's Song 5- X-Tintion Agenda 4- House of M 3- Dark Phoenix Saga 2- Days of a Future Past 1- Fall of the Mutants
Could someone send a forklift over to my place? I need help getting my jaw off the floor after watching this vid. Omar, you would think by now I would know how wide and deep your comic knowledge is (especially with the X-Men) but you always surprise me with a nugget I never knew of or a new way of looking at something. It is always a real pleasure to watch you and hear your opinions. It always blows me away. I'm very proud and happy to call you my friend. #OmarRules #MarvelLetOmarWriteXMen
I still havent read some of these! The Jim Lee reprints coming this year will help. HoX/PoX was so incredible though, it definitely gave me that hyped for the X-Men again feeling. I hope Hickman is continuing the hype with all the new series that were launched after it.
Omar, very nice video as always. I wanted to ask you (if possible) to consider making a video where you suggest to buy some of these stories in a specific format due to X reason, no pun intended. What I really wanna ask is for your opinion on which events/crossovers may not be collected in an omnibus maybe, for instance, because they don't have enough material to get more than just a OHC. This is the idea, you know, it doesn't have to be X-titles only. I know you're getting what I mean and can make the idea even better. The reason I ask is because sometimes you wanna wait for that ultimate version of a story but little do we know that F4vsXmen is a miniseries and we may never see an omnibus of that. Much appreciated, man.
Great list omar! It's interesting as a fan who is newer to this material than you, to get some perspective why the older material is held in high regard. My picks would all be more recent, like HoX/Pox, Second Coming, Messiah Complex, and Necrosha. Like the Claremont era is your era, Decimation is mine. I just hope Hickman can stay and pilot this ship for longer than a few years
When I came to the states, Xmen was the first comic book I purchased,and it was #210, all on your list are my favs as well. The X-men have some of the most climatic memories such as Xtinction agenda-wolverine vs archangel, fall of mutants-wolverines' speech to the camera before the sacrifice, Mutant Massacre- how the Morlocks couldn't avoid their faiths...etc, I could go on and on. Great video.
Thanks for the show. I too loved X-Factor Endgame. Beautiful art and a heartbreaking ending. It surprised me that they didn't delve more into how Scott would handle giving up his son in subsequent issues. That should have been an ongoing story in itself, but he seemed fairly fine with his decision in the issues right after that story. I'm also surprised they never tried to bring back SHIP. Ship vs Danger would have been awesome. I know later creative teams tried to use the Dark Riders, but in my opinion they were never better than they were in X-FACTOR endgame. Great show Omar.
Omar, thanks for making this awesome video. I would like to know if you could have in your future plans for video ideas to make an introduction to the world of the X-Men. I am more of the self contained characters but the characters and personalities from the X-Men side have always interested me and would like to get into that world but I see it as daunting. It would be helpful to have a simple "guide" or overview of the X-Men history spoiler free to get an idea of how to get into the X-Men. I know that the good stuff happens with their revamp in Giant Sized X-Men but after that there is so much material and so much to cover for present day. I have no problem going in the long haul but wanted to ask being that you are passionate about this to include this in a future video idea.
Omar you make the best videos!! I hope one day I meet you in person and you can sign my fall of the mutants omnibus (you personally got me into X-men!!) I don’t have endgame, is that collected in trade with more issues?? I might hunt down those issues it sounded dope!!
Thanks for the list and the information about the comics! I always wanted to buy one, but I didn’t know where to start at all lol. So thanks for the help fam!
My Top 10 would be: 10. X-Tinction Agenda 9. The Fall of the Mutants 8. Phoenix Saga 7. Days of Future Past 6. X-Cutioner's Song 5. Messiah Complex 4. Dark Phoenix Saga 3. Onslaught 2. Age of Apocalypse 1. Inferno
My top 10: 1 - dark Phoenix saga 2 - days of Future past 3 - mutant massacre 4 - age of apocalypse 5 - x-cutioner's song 6 - x-tinction agenda 7 - fall of Mutants 8 - muir Island saga (begins the blue and Gold team) 9 - inferno 10 - e for extinction
So watching this in 2023 I just picked up my first X-Men Omnibus a couple of weeks ago, it was honestly just because it was on sale for $30 on IST…. But what I’m hearing from you is this was the one to pickup for sure! Now I have to hurry up and finish Deadpool and Cable so I can read it!!
Top Five 1) Dark Phoenix Saga 2) Days of Future Past 3) Fall of The Mutants 4) Inferno 5) X-Tinction Agenda I never really got to read Onslaught or Age of Apocalypse, so I'm going to have to pick up the trades or the omnis one day.
Cool video, thanks! Actually I just read FotM and really liked X-Factor and UXM but after their storylines, New Mutants was just anticlimactic. You go from the X-Men sacrificing everything to kids arguing what to wear to a party. But the X-Factor and UXM storylines were really cool. Will soon continue my Claremont read-a-thon.
I'd have had two events that were back to back on my list, The Proteus saga and the Dark Phoenix saga and Inferno of course was the culmination of a lot of story arcs
After the success of Mutant massacre omni, please make David to release the fall of the mutants and inferno stories in omnibus format. We just love continuity. Great video though, I'm just planning to read some X men while I'm stuck at home.
My favorite on your list is X-Cutioner's Song. That was the first x-book crossover I read in junior high. So good. It was even better since it was published when the Fox X-Men show was originally airing.
Claremont did, in fact, write the Fantastic Four for years in the 90s, I think it was. Misty Knight became a real force during his run. Definitely worth reading.
Oh my god Age of Apocalypse is so amazing. It felt like as the story was going on that the world that was created through the actions of legion was telling the story of how it would be if apocalypse did truly achieve his goal. It was such a great story like Mikey the entire time I felt like it was just the rest of truly dread deceived his vision come to life from the mind of apocalypse. Survival of the fittest It horrified me reading that story a lot. Even some of the changes like seeing the summers work with apocalypse and their father was Sinister that raised them. Or angel on his own bar, when the same time you saw Jean Grey and Wolverine hook up with I was like that's probably one of the only plus is from the story. But the way that apocalypse carried himself like his world was speaking for him half of the time that this is how things are and should have been to the store and took a lot of preparation to get us here there is Paradise in his own mind. It was such a great story that you saw so many spin-offs from that story and some of the spin-offs were really damn good to buy nothing beats that offense in my eyes like that is the one of the go-to story for Apocalypse the really understand him intimately.
In my opinion; 1) Phoenix Saga 2)Giant Size n°1 3) Days of Future Past 4)Mutant Massacre 5)X-Men Inferno 6)Messiah Trilogy7)XCurtioner’s Song 8)X-Men: Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire 9)House of X and 10)AVS vs X-MEN
Days of future past, Phoenix Saga, Age of Apocalypse, Fall of the Mutants, and Messiah Complex are my favs! Omar Diamond Comic Distributor is not making payments supposedly. May be awhile before we see non-digital comics again..
House of X and powers of x I just reread a few days ago. And I'm not going to lie it made me cry I felt like the X-Men haven't been used properly in a long time and it's not like they were finally women after so many years of struggling. It still astonishes me that Jonathan was able to come up with an amazing story but it felt right. Like this is the next chapter for the accident and I'm hoping it's a long chapter. And I really say give a little hell of a lot of praise to the artist and colorist and everyone else on this book that did as equally is amazing job at John Heckman you got to give it to them be with me bust their ass hardcore on this man.

I forgot back in the early noughts that there were pretty much no crossover events. Easily one of the best times overall in X-Men history. Then they started doing crossover events again . And X-Men went into a downward spiral.
Hey, Omar. The Uncanny X-Men Vol. 4 content has been out for some time now. When are you releasing the updated Comprehensive X-Men Reading Order? :-) Perhaps you can include Epics, TPBs and Complete Collections with the Omnis and OHCs this time around similar to what you did with Daredevil. And please don't skip Asgardians Wars this time around. It was missing in Part 1 last time. Thanks a lot!
LOL I sold My asgardian Wars. Waiting for that Epic that never came. :) Now I will wait until the end of the year before doing another one. Promise. It will come.
@@NearMintCondition Thanks, Omar! It could run up to 5 or 6 parts if we include Epics, Complete Collections and other TPBs. 😂 It'll be interesting to watch how much material is collected from X-Men (1963) until HoX/PoX.
I see Near Mint and X-Men I like instantly. Could you do a reading order of X-Men Gold, Blue, Red, Black, X-Force, Jean Grey, Astonishing by Soule, Cable, Rogue & Gambit, etc. (ResurXion basically) all the way to Uncanny X-Men Disassembled (trade paperbacks)? Please :)
Messiah Complex X-Men: Supernovas (Mike Carey’s run) Operation Zero Tolerance Schism Necrosha Onslaught(From the X-Men side X-Factor, Excalibur, Etc) E for Extinction The Chuck Austen run(There are good parts) Hickman’s Dawn of X
I'm adding this to my to-play list, because too spoiler-heavy! I'm just coming into X-men re-reading so a lot of this is still new. But a great idea for a vid (once I've read a few and am immune to spoilers)! :)
Long post here....... Omar I want to thank you for this vid even though I’m so late to it. I’m about the same age as you, but unlike yourself I stopped reading comic books during high school. After the greats left Marvel to start Image I felt betrayed (a little dramatic I know) I didn’t understand what was going on at the time. I only knew that Claremont, Lee, Leifeld, McFarlane, Portacio, and my favorite Silvestri had left. The art wasn’t the same. The stories seemed to detour. I just wasn’t feelin’ it. Now 25 years later I feel myself being drawn back into everything again, but I was still cautious about the “newer” stuff post 1991 lol! Thank you for making this list as I revisit old friends and take your recommendations for the new ones. Thanks man, I can’t wait!
I want to take this time to thank you. No matter how old my videos are, I take the time to see the comments and reply back. Thank you for watching and more importantly for sharing the similar story I had. I left after Onslaught and came back with New X-men. The X-men are like a family to me.

The way Omar talks about his favourite comics is maybe the most beautiful thing that I have seen in those difficult times. You are amazing man
Wow, thank you! I really mean that.
Seriously.
You could also make - The 10 worst X-men events
LOL oh there have been plenty of those.
Agreed. Especially ones that people hail as the pinnacle of X-Men greatness. 🤣
House oF M isn't an event?
Jeez Omar, that's one heckuva of workout hauling out all those books.
Omnibus's are great way to exercise the brain and bisceps.
Mutant Massacre is my all time favourite cross over.
That's how i try to stay healthy.
Man I love Days of future past. I could re-read that over and over again. Dystopian storytelling at its best. The artwork is beautiful as well.
Same here!
1. Near mint condition +Chris Claremont crossover
I agree. :)
Fall of the mutants !!! I know why I follow this channel
Fall of the Mutants is the one for me. :)

The original classic space saga was amazing.
The Uncanny Omar should be a Marvel Character
You are too kind.
What would be your mutant power?

Good list love it. Age of Apocalypse ... they are making a line of action figures this year.

You can't see it but I'm doing the worm on the floor after reading the title.

You are too kind, my brother. Always a joy to see you pop up.
I gather up comic CZcamsrs as a hobby. And Omar is a fucking revelation. To see others who love the X-Men as much as me warms my heart.
Please keep more list coming!
You got it
Great list Omar! I didn't get an email notification for this video. Luckily it gets pushed to my phone.
No worries!
Great Channel!
Thanks!
Great video, great list! Love the transition effects. Perhaps this could be a start of a new series of videos.
That's the plan! :)
oh yeah i love those types of videos
Loved this, Omar we need more top 10 best events from other characters, love every time you talk about the stories you enjoyed :)
Thank you hermano.
Awesome I’m about to read all of these!
Great video NMC, can do more modern EVENT videos like DC/New 52, Batman & Others
You got it.
Can't wait for that Fall of the Mutants Omni
After MM, I'm sure it will come
@@NearMintCondition mutant massacre reprint! PLEASE MARVEL!
I still havent read some of these! The Jim Lee reprints coming this year will help. HoX/PoX was so incredible though, it definitely gave me that hyped for the X-Men again feeling. I hope Hickman is continuing the hype with all the new series that were launched after it.
Dawn of X has been hit and miss, but so much goodness.
As I’ve only read the modern events, the milestones are a great way to go back and read the classics.. picked up two so far
They are a wonderful way to read classics.
Less wonderful in my bank account 🤣
That is true.

Great vid as always. I would put in that mix of stories inferno, Bishops crossing.
Inferno would have been 11. :)
Okay. Age of apocalypse, HOXPOX, and Messiah complex is enough for me not to be upset you didn't pick onslaught.
Just... ;)

Cool video, thanks! Actually I just read FotM and really liked X-Factor and UXM but after their storylines, New Mutants was just anticlimactic. You go from the X-Men sacrificing everything to kids arguing what to wear to a party. But the X-Factor and UXM storylines were really cool. Will soon continue my Claremont read-a-thon.
Glad you enjoyed it! I still say the shock factor of losing Cypher who I didn't even care about, really got to me.
Greay video Omar,and great sweater.
Aside from X factors artist at the time, extinction agenda was amazing! But inferno is by far my favorite 🤩
Great choice.
I'd have had two events that were back to back on my list, The Proteus saga and the Dark Phoenix saga and Inferno of course was the culmination of a lot of story arcs

That one always gets forgotten.
House & Powers of X is the greatest X book I’ve ever read

My top five in no order:
Fall of the Mutants
Messiah Complex
Mutant Massacre
Inferno
Age of Apocalypse
My man! Love your list. Inferon would have been 11.
My favorite on your list is X-Cutioner's Song. That was the first x-book crossover I read in junior high. So good. It was even better since it was published when the Fox X-Men show was originally airing.
Reminds me of all those good memories.
Claremont did, in fact, write the Fantastic Four for years in the 90s, I think it was. Misty Knight became a real force during his run. Definitely worth reading.
I know he did the FF Vs X-men and then later the Heroes Return title.
Oh my god Age of Apocalypse is so amazing. It felt like as the story was going on that the world that was created through the actions of legion was telling the story of how it would be if apocalypse did truly achieve his goal.
It was such a great story like Mikey the entire time I felt like it was just the rest of truly dread deceived his vision come to life from the mind of apocalypse.
Survival of the fittest
It horrified me reading that story a lot. Even some of the changes like seeing the summers work with apocalypse and their father was Sinister that raised them. Or angel on his own bar, when the same time you saw Jean Grey and Wolverine hook up with I was like that's probably one of the only plus is from the story.
But the way that apocalypse carried himself like his world was speaking for him half of the time that this is how things are and should have been to the store and took a lot of preparation to get us here there is Paradise in his own mind.
It was such a great story that you saw so many spin-offs from that story and some of the spin-offs were really damn good to buy nothing beats that offense in my eyes like that is the one of the go-to story for Apocalypse the really understand him intimately.
In my opinion;
1) Phoenix Saga 2)Giant Size n°1 3) Days of Future Past 4)Mutant Massacre 5)X-Men Inferno
6)Messiah Trilogy7)XCurtioner’s
Song 8)X-Men: Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire 9)House of X and 10)AVS vs X-MEN
Great list. Rise and Fall is really underrated.
Near Mint Condition
Thanks Uncanny Omar ...
I would like to you talk about ULTIMATE X-MEN and X-MEN 2099 ...
I wish Marvel would make a "Real Onslaught" story like they did for the Clone Saga. Better focus and less convoluted would make it a killer tale.
Awesome review
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your passion for these events Omar,beautiful to see a fellow X-men diehard fan :)
Much appreciated, seriously. X-men is life! :) I've been asked to make more videos like this and I will.
Near Mint Condition Can’t wait! A lot of Spidey and the X-men comics had a major influence on me when I was younger so yeah music to my ears 🔥
I thought this was going to be an April fools of all the terrible stories. Should of known Omar takes X-men seriously, even on April 1st.
Always take my X-men seriously. :)
loved x-cutioner's song. still have the singles and bought the thicc trade from CGN i believe. shocked at how many of these i actually own
The best storylines should be owned in different formats. I hope you are doing well my friend.
@@NearMintCondition working remotely and staying away from people coughing lol. hope you and your family are doing well.
Days of future past, Phoenix Saga, Age of Apocalypse, Fall of the Mutants, and Messiah Complex are my favs! Omar Diamond Comic Distributor is not making payments supposedly. May be awhile before we see non-digital comics again..
I think things are up in the air for a while.
Do top 10 justice league stories
You got it!
Awesome books
Glad you like them!
House of X and powers of x I just reread a few days ago. And I'm not going to lie it made me cry I felt like the X-Men haven't been used properly in a long time and it's not like they were finally women after so many years of struggling.
It still astonishes me that Jonathan was able to come up with an amazing story but it felt right. Like this is the next chapter for the accident and I'm hoping it's a long chapter.
And I really say give a little hell of a lot of praise to the artist and colorist and everyone else on this book that did as equally is amazing job at John Heckman you got to give it to them be with me bust their ass hardcore on this man.
It was that good. Completely agree, my friend.

I forgot back in the early noughts that there were pretty much no crossover events. Easily one of the best times overall in X-Men history. Then they started doing crossover events again . And X-Men went into a downward spiral.
I really enjoyed Messiah Complex and Necrosha and Second Coming. Then we got to Battle of the Atom...sigh.
Wicked thoughts Brother, Loved your top 10 👍
Much appreciated my brother.
Hey, Omar. The Uncanny X-Men Vol. 4 content has been out for some time now. When are you releasing the updated Comprehensive X-Men Reading Order? :-) Perhaps you can include Epics, TPBs and Complete Collections with the Omnis and OHCs this time around similar to what you did with Daredevil. And please don't skip Asgardians Wars this time around. It was missing in Part 1 last time. Thanks a lot!
LOL I sold My asgardian Wars. Waiting for that Epic that never came. :) Now I will wait until the end of the year before doing another one. Promise. It will come.
@@NearMintCondition Thanks, Omar! It could run up to 5 or 6 parts if we include Epics, Complete Collections and other TPBs. 😂 It'll be interesting to watch how much material is collected from X-Men (1963) until HoX/PoX.
Oh yeah, and I plan on doing that. So it'll be a multipart series.
I see Near Mint and X-Men I like instantly. Could you do a reading order of X-Men Gold, Blue, Red, Black, X-Force, Jean Grey, Astonishing by Soule, Cable, Rogue & Gambit, etc. (ResurXion basically) all the way to Uncanny X-Men Disassembled (trade paperbacks)? Please :)
I sure can. Those reading orders I'm tackling at end of year.
Since you counted an x-Factor story, I’m going to throw in the Dark Angel Saga from Remender’s X-Force.
I was thinking the same. Such an awesome story.
Not a crossover
Hellz yeah! That's one of my favorite events too.
Messiah Complex
X-Men: Supernovas (Mike Carey’s run)
Operation Zero Tolerance
Schism
Necrosha
Onslaught(From the X-Men side X-Factor, Excalibur, Etc)
E for Extinction
The Chuck Austen run(There are good parts)
Hickman’s Dawn of X
I'm adding this to my to-play list, because too spoiler-heavy! I'm just coming into X-men re-reading so a lot of this is still new. But a great idea for a vid (once I've read a few and am immune to spoilers)! :)
Yeah most of my videos are spoiler free, but I usually let people know ahead of time of spoilers.
Thanks this help a lot
gary sandberg thank you for watching!
That’s a cool sweater, where did you get it from?
Long post here.......
Omar I want to thank you for this vid even though I’m so late to it. I’m about the same age as you, but unlike yourself I stopped reading comic books during high school.
After the greats left Marvel to start Image I felt betrayed (a little dramatic I know) I didn’t understand what was going on at the time. I only knew that Claremont, Lee, Leifeld, McFarlane, Portacio, and my favorite Silvestri had left. The art wasn’t the same. The stories seemed to detour. I just wasn’t feelin’ it.
Now 25 years later I feel myself being drawn back into everything again, but I was still cautious about the “newer” stuff post 1991 lol! Thank you for making this list as I revisit old friends and take your recommendations for the new ones. Thanks man, I can’t wait!
I want to take this time to thank you. No matter how old my videos are, I take the time to see the comments and reply back. Thank you for watching and more importantly for sharing the similar story I had. I left after Onslaught and came back with New X-men. The X-men are like a family to me.
X-cellent!
10. Operation Zero Tolerance
9. Fatal Attractions
8. Fall of the Mutants
7. The X-Men vs The Avengers
6. Brood Saga
5. AoA
4. Mutant Genesis
3. Mutant Massacre
2. Inferno
1. X-Tinction Agenda
My favorite x event would be second coming or the whole messiah trilogy..but you have to add x force in that too
That whole era to me falls as a big trilogy starting with Messiah Complex
Cable as well. His adventures with Hope are excellent.
The Brood late 80s event
Yes! The ones where they crash on earth.
Inferno will always be my favorite.
And it's coming back into print next year.
Would u recommend using cheap graphic novels for someone who doesn't live in the USA?
They ship overseas, but Im not sure how much shipping would be.
