Days of Future Present Reading Order List
Days of Future Present (Fantastic Four/X-Men Crossover Sequel) Reading Order List
Days of Future Present is the 1990 followup to the groundbreaking 1981 two issue side story arc “Days of Future Past” from Uncanny X-Men 141 and 142 (although technically the name change of the book to “Uncanny X-Men” happened in 142). I call it a side story arc because there is another arc ongoing through the issues, the story of an assassination attempt by the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants being led by Mystique with classic X-Men foe Blob, and new characters Destiny, Pyro, and Avalanche rounding out the group.

These issues are NOT available digitally, please contact Marvel and request they be made so!
- Fantastic Four Annual #23
- X-Factor Annual #5 (this is chronologically part 3, and part 3 is part 2)
- New Mutants Annual #6
- Uncanny X-Men Annual #14
- While it’s not a “fifth” story, pages 10-11 of this book tell a backup story called “The Fundamental Things” which is commonly thought of as part 4.1
You can buy the collected issues on Amazon, Days of Future Present.
Until next time,
Excelsior!!!
