X-Men: Dawn of X Wave 1 Review – What Should You Read?

X-Men: Dawn of X Wave 1 is complete!

Today I'll answer:
+ What we’ve learned so far about X-Men comics in the post House of X Krakoa era
+ Where the Dawn of X has succeeded and failed to live up to the promise of House of X and Powers of X
+ Do you need to read the entire Dawn of X to understand what’s going on? Which titles are the most vital?
+ And I’ll tease a part two where I explore theories about where Dawn of X is going in Wave 2 and beyond!

Spoilers for X-Men Comics in the Dawn of X, and House of X / Powers of X may follow!

   • How Does Excalibur #1 Fit Into X-Men ...  

We've reached the point where all six launch titles - X-Men, Marauders, X-Force, New Mutants, Excalibur, and Fallen Angels - have released at least six issues, which doubles as the total number of issues in each of their first collected trade paperbacks. Likewise, this week marks Marvel's release of their first "Dawn of X" hardcover collection, a series of collected editions that will include one issue from each series, for a total of six stories.

So effectively, we have 36 issues, 6 full story arcs (even if some, like X-Men, are intentionally far from conclusive) and about 4 months of real world time passing since Powers of X #6 wrapped up the game-changing X-Men event of 2019. It's more than enough to summarize what's happened, what's working, what's not, and where Jonathan Hickman and company might be taking the X-Men.
