The Age of Krakoa Reading Guide through Collected Editions (Volumes)

As a big fan of Marvel and X-Men, I wanted to get up to date with the latest storylines. However, I quickly realized that if I want to start from the Age of Krakoa storyline, which is just concluding, there's a lot of reading ahead. The sheer number of books, omnibuses, and volumes can be overwhelming. Since I prefer collected editions and specifically volumes over single comics, I embarked on extensive research to compile a list that would help me and others navigate through this era of X-Men. Below is the list of volumes and the comics included in them, along with some additional details. Please note that "Destiny of X" and "Fall of X" have not yet been released as volumes, so I have included the potential collected editions to be released.
