House of X/Powers of X is the comeback of popular writer Jonathan Hickman, last seen at Marvel working on the huge Secret Wars crossover. Arguably, this return on X-Men is bigger in terms of scope and indeed issues than Secret Wars and in my opinion one of the biggest and best modern comic book storylines ever conceived.
House of X/Powers of X is a prequel to the main event – Dawn of X which is followed by Reign of X– and pretty essential reading to get a handle of where everything is going. It is a new continuity and establish what’s what and who’s who.
From a reading order point of view, it is easy with no tie ins needed to get it complete. It’s easily available in trades as well as the loose issues themselves. Below are two reading order – trades and issue by issue, to help you read the whole thing in the way you prefer.
House of X is centered around Professor X and his new masterplan for mutants
Powers of X is centered around mutants themselves and they secret history.
Both combine and lead into Dawn of X which is about mutant’s new struggles and Professor X’s role within that struggle.
