CHAPTER TWELVE: INFINITY 2012 - 2014
13 Nov 2019
Notes: This series recaps the whole of Marvel history. #5 is a great recap for what you’ve been reading so far, from Planet X to Avengers vs. X-Men. Especially if you just finished reading the Ultimate universe story it’ll be nice refreshing your memory of Earth-616. There’s one little spoiler after the Stan’s Soapbox page, so you might want to stop there.

8 Jan 2014 - 3 Sep 2014
Notes: It’s worth noting that All-New X-Factor get’s cancelled rather abruptly before Secret Wars (2015), but the title still have great character beats which makes it worth reading even if we don’t get full resolution of the story.
19 Jun 2013 - 11 Dec 2013

14 Aug 2013 - 18 Dec 2013

“Castaway in Dimension Z”
24 Apr 2013 - 30 Jul 2014
Notes: This huge arc continue the story of Remender’s Uncanny X-Force (2010). There are two #8’s, the second is a tie-in of sorts to Age of Ultron, but it’s best to read it here.
