This reading order arranges the various timelines in House of X / Powers of X into a strictly chronological order.

It is amazingly heavy on spoilers, and if you are yet to read the book, do not read any further here. Read the book from start to finish first, and then come back here. It fits into the larger Marvel Universe timeline here

Please note that this is not necessarily the recommended or best order to read the book in – Jonathan Hickman arranged his stories with great care to achieve certain artistic effects, some of which may well be lost in a simple chronological recounting. On the other hand, certain plot threads, and the elegant play of cause and effect, are easier to trace in this order. Therefore, gentle reader, proceed carefully, and of your own free will.
