I have been following everything since house/powers. Don't read individual titles. Get the trades. They released trades called "Dawn of x" That collected every series they were releasing, Ongoings, miniseries, and 1 shots, in reading order, so that you get the full new Krakoan age of the Xmen together.

Dawn of X ends with the X of Swords Cross over (also a trade) and then picks up with Reign of X which recently had a Hardcover Event the Hellfire Gala after about 8 trades of Reign.

Thanks, that is pretty straightforward. I am going to read X of swords and then look for trades. You post led to me googling the trades which led me to this, which is, well, exactly what I was looking for:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_of_X
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_X

So thanks for the pointer.

I really like where they are going with Krakoa in general (up until X of swords, which is where I am at now) - the "no more death" and the way they leverage it to corrupt the Quiet Council is very neat, as well as all of the villains and long-missing characters reappearing.

Not only that, but if you are reading the actual trades there are little single line or whatever bits that show that something is seriously off in the whole thing.

Like Domino and Colossus have a conversation about how neither of them want to go through resurrection because their scars are part of who they are. (Domino missing large parts of her skin from some bull gak).

Then at the end of that little arc Domino is killed and bought back. She doesn't have any memory of the trauma or her conversation with Colossus. So... is that Domino? Did professor X decide to remove those bits of her mind for her? Did someone else?

Later they fight the risen zombies of the mutants who died in Genosha. But... those Mutants have been resurrected. But some of the zombies have their minds in tact. One mutant has a conversation with himself. So they are not really resurrections. They are clones with implanted memories. Every mutant who went on that first mission to the sentinel factory that got dropped into the sun is dead. Including Wolverine. They are not resurrected. They are dead. These are clones with potentially manipulating gaps in their memories. Or false memories. Or anything really? And it's not like there are not souls or resurrections in the Marvel universe. Some gak is going to come back to bite them for this.

Resurrection Protocols are not REALLY resurrection.

This whole Krakoan era is fascinating.
