There are a few different places you can start:

If you HAVE to start from the beginning just read the first 24 issues, you can then skip over to Claremont's era

My recommendation would be to either start with Chris Claremont's 1st era (aka 70's) & 2nd era (aka 80's) on Uncanny X-Men or from 2001-ish (aka modern X-Men) time period onwards onwards. Either way just skip the 90s for now, you can alway go back to that later.

  • Claremont's first era (70s): You can buy them HERE and HERE

  • Claremont's second era (80's): You can buy them HERE and HERE

    If you want to start with Modern X-Men...

  • ...you can start with Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men which you can buy HERE

  • Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing X-Men start's right where Morrison's New X-Men leaves off and you can buy that HERE and HERE

    From there you can get caught up pretty easily if you follow this list in order:

  • House of M (buy here)
  • Messiah Complex (buy here)
  • Second Coming(buy here)
  • Schism (buy here)
  • Avengers Vs X-Men (buy here)

    From there I would move on to the current All-New X-Men and Uncanny X-Men titles:

  • Read all of All-New X-Men (pre Battle of the Atom Crossover) Buy here: VOL 1 & VOL 2 / VOL 3
  • Read all of Uncanny X-Men (pre Battle of the Atom Crossover) Buy Here: VOL 1 / VOL 2
  • Read Battle of the atom crossover (buy here)
  • Catch up with All-New X-Men VOL 4 / TRIAL OF JEAN GREY / VOL 5
  • Catch up with Uncanny X-Men VOL 3 / VOL 4

    Great, now you're all caught up!

    PS, the great thing about X-Men is there is a ton of content to explore aside from the main storyline!

  • X-Statix (buy here)
  • Uncanny X-Force (buy here)
  • X-Factor (starts with these two: HERE and HERE)
  • Cable & Deadpool (buy here)
  • Wolverine & The X-Men (buy here)
  • Ultimate X-Men (start HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE)


    ...and much more!

    Happy reading! :)

Jim Lee is the artist. He had a decent run

Strap the fuck in, because I spent way too much time researching this. Amazon links provided for reference, and I'm not really taking into consideration price issues or print availability, just so you're aware. My main attempt was to make as complete a collection in as few volumes as possible.

So, I'm focusing on the Claremont run of Uncanny X-Men. Whether crossover issues or miniseries are there aren't considerations, though most content is going to have them in there as well. Obviously the event-specific omnibus or hardcover collections are going to contain all the relevant tie-in issues of the sister series (X-Factor or New Mutants). The one exception is going to be Fall of the Mutants, since it was a thematic crossover rather than a storyline crossover, so you don't need to pick up Volume 2 for the events of Uncanny to make sense, since that focuses more on X-Factor.

Additionally... the stuff between Uncanny 244 and 269 is from the Claremont/Lee omnibus Vol. 1... and it's out of print and running for like $350 right now. There's some pieces that are going to be missing if you don't want to read that one, so I'm gonna pick out the trades that best throw that stuff in. This isn't exhaustive, and I'm sure there's some obscure collection from like, 1993 that might have the issues, but I'm not all-knowing, as much as I love the X-Men.

I'm also leaving the Omnis since you mentioned you're grabbing them, but you can grab the Marvel Masterworks 7-9 to cover the material on Omnibus 3.

So! Let's do this!

You don't need to read anything to understand what is going on in the movie. But probably the best way to understand everything is to first know everything about all of the mutants in the movie. So go to IMDB, write down the names of all of the mutants appearing in DoFP and then go to marvel.wikia.com the main marvel universe is universe-616

Even though he won't be in a lot of it, read up about Biship, a lot of the future stuff has to do with him. Read up on the sentinels and Bolivar Trask. Maybe read about the sentinel Nimrod. There are some links below that could really help you. Really though, wikipedia and the marvel wiki and I'm sure there is an X-Men wiki are amazing resources.

If you're willing to drop some dollars and want to be an X-Men expert for the movies buy these two omnibi from amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Uncanny-X-Men-Omnibus-Volume-Printing/dp/0785185690/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397491138&sr=8-1&keywords=uncanny+x-men+omnibus

If you want really want to drop some dollars get these as well, though I don't think they will be as helpful to DoFP

http://www.amazon.com/X-Men-Chris-Claremont-Jim-Omnibus/dp/0785158227/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1397491138&sr=8-3&keywords=uncanny+x-men+omnibus

EDIT: Forgot to say that the DoFP story line is in the first Uncanny X-Men Omnibus.

So Chris Claremont really defined the X-Men back in the 70's and the cartoon show completely drew from his run to write their shows. You can start at the beginning and see the interesting character dynamics. If you want something more modern that really informs where things are now, I'd say start with Morrison's run on New X-men. I am a big fan of Morrison's X-Men work and I genuinely think he kickstarted the X-Men back into an interesting conversation (If you like his work, I strongly encourage you to check out The Invisibles ). Before that was this weird, kind of wretched 90's period run by Scott Lobdell. Personally, I think most of the 90's runs were skippable (Except Age of Apocalypse which is cool af and cherished by most fans).

Edit: End parentheses
