The dust has started to clear on the first great Krakoan Age. People who know me are aware that I have largely been a fan of this period of X-men comics...up until the hard nose dive all the stories took post Inferno. So I'm going to present something I've been noodling on for a while.
A part of the big appeal of this comics experiment was the idea that all of these comics were telling one big story. I don't think every part of that story is worth investing in. And I think any honest fan or critical appraisal of these comics needs to be brutally honest about which of these stories is actually re-readable.
Because to me, that's comics.
I keep you on my shelf for a quick laugh or cry or to get pumped up, or I hand them off to someone who'd enjoy them more than me. There is nothing sadder than a comic that just collects dust because nobody wants to look at it again.
The following list of comics are runs from the Krakoan era that I would (and have) happily reread. These are the ones I think you should spend your money on, or at least grab at the library.
I'll give a short explanation of my thoughts on why I think those stories are worth investing it, and a brief explanation where there might be gaps.
