X-Men: Raid On Graymalkin Reading Order Checklist

The end of the Krakoa Era of X-Men comics saw Marvel’s mutants scatter to the wind. As a result, there are teams all around the country, with one core team based in Alaska and another in New Orleans. Both these teams – as chronicled in X-Men (2024 series) and Uncanny X-Men (2024 series) – are trying to achieve Charles Xavier’s dreams of human-mutant harmony in their own way.

So you’d think they’d be on the same page when the old X-Mansion is converted into a mutant prison. Well, think again, with both X-Men teams colliding in the Raid on Graymalkin crossover.

Find out how to read Raid on Graymalkin with this handy reading order. It details which issues you must read, background reading, and heaps more.
