hello! i was wondering if you could help me, if i wanted to start reading for illyana rasputin where would i start?
of course, I’m glad to be of help! Illyana can be sort of tricky to follow through continuity, so I’ve highlighted a pretty simple reading order for significant books with Illyana in them! I would recommend just starting at the beginning and reading chronologically, but if you want just a quick starting place, go for Magik (1983), then The New Mutants (1983) #14-77, then New Mutants (2009) #1-25, 28. if you have any more questions about Illyana or other X-Men or if you have any questions about anything I answered here, let me know, I’m always happy to answer questions or help in any way I can!
Illyana Rasputin: Where to Start
Illyana’s very first appearance is in Giant Sized X-Men #1 (1975), as a six-year old girl, and the younger sister of x-man, colossus. 
then in Uncanny X-Men #160, Illyana is kidnapped by a demon called Belasco, who takes her to his hell dimension Limbo to train her to be his successor. the x-men rescue Illyana, but she’s aged in her time in Limbo, and is now a teenager. 
next, she’s in a 4 issue mini called Magik (1983), which is about Illyana’s time in Limbo
What If?: Magik (2018) #1 is a one-shot that explores what might have happened if Illyana became Dr. Strange’s apprentice when she came back to earth from Limbo, instead of joining the New Mutants.
after this, Illyana joins the New Mutants! she is in a couple of earlier issues of the run as a child, but she joins the team with The New Mutants (1983) #14, and stays on the team all the way until Inferno, where she is de-aged back to a child in #73, and in #77 the New Mutants take her back home to her parents in Russia.
New Mutants: Truth or Death (1997) is a 3-issue mini-series that was published later, but falls between The New Mutants #24 and #25 in continuity, and Illyana plays a central role, in which we learn how she came to be infected by the Legacy Virus.
Illyana dies of the Legacy Virus in Uncanny X-Men #303. her death sticks for a while, but not forever.
Illyana comes back from the dead in New X-Men: Academy X (2004) #38-41, when Belasco resurrects her in her Darkchilde form with all of Illyana’s memories, but without her soul.
the X-Infernus (2008) mini takes place right after Illyana returns to earth in New X-Men: Academy X, and with the NXM team, Illyana fights to regain control of Limbo from Belasco’s daughter, Witchfire.
after this, Illyana rejoins her original teammates, the New Mutants, for New Mutants (2009) #1-25 + 28
Illyana joins the main Uncanny team in Uncanny X-Men (2011) #1. this is the run that ties into Avengers vs. X-Men (2012), which I’ve never read and probably never will so I can’t tell you if it’s any good, but Illyana is one of the Phoenix Five, so it’s a significant story for her
Uncanny is relaunched in 2013, and Illyana appears in that book from Uncanny X-Men (2013) #1 onwards, and makes appearances in All New X-Men during this time, in her role as a member of Cyclops’ Uncanny X-Men
Extrordinary X-Men (2015) #1-20 includes Illyana on the roster
New Mutants: Dead Souls (2018) #1-6. i personally don’t love this mini, but it does alright by Illyana (though not really most of the other characters in the book), and it explains how the New Mutants became infected with the Transmode Virus before joining the reformed X-Men.
and that brings us up to the present, where Illyana is currently appearing in Uncanny X-Men (2018) as of #11, as part of a team of the last X-Men left alive.

Since it’s hard to recommend recent (~for the past 12 years) comics with Scaret Witch (because most of them are abominable and confusing), and i couldn’t find any coherent reading order (for over 1200 appearances, ha!), so, many months ago, i decided to compile mine because i’m awesome i thought that the best place to start your acquaintance with Wanda Maximoff would be the very beginning.
So here it is, the reading order for 60s and 70s (i’m slowly working on other decades as well) and the reading order guide (where i’ve tried to briefly describe all issues she appeared in):  → download link for the guide
NB! the guide contains spoilers for the stories and probably some minor mistakes that i tried to eliminate best i could. All you need to know is:
bold issues = important to Wanda’s storytelling and/or personality, a must read;
italic issues = contain some interesting panels and/or information, worth looking through;
simple issues = show Wanda briefly, can be skipped.

WHO ARE THEY?
A brilliant scientist – his best friend – the woman he loves – and her younger brother. Together they braved the terrors of outer space and were changed by cosmic rays into something more than merely human! So was born the Fantastic Four – and from that moment on, the world would never again be the same!
ESSENTIAL READING
ORIGINS
Fantastic Four vol. 1 (1961) #1  — The original. Retold in Fantastic Four Annual (1963) #1 and extended in Fantastic Four vol. 3 (1998) #11 - 12.
Mythos: Fantastic Four (2007) — A beautifully-drawn version of the origin story that takes place after the crash of the space shuttle. The Fantastic Four are interviewed by a government committee about the circumstances of the crash.
Fantastic Four: First Family (2006) #1 - 6 — Focuses on what happened immediately after the crash. The Fantastic Four are held in a government facility without their consent. Issue #1 takes place before Fantastic Four #1, while issues #2 - 6 take place between Fantastic Four #2 and 3.
Fantastic Four: Season One (2011) — Non-canon retelling based on Earth-TRN563. Characters’ backgrounds and ages are tweaked.
MODERN DAY 616
Mark Waid + Mike Wieringo’s run — A good jumping-on point that uses an outsider’s view to reintroduce the characters as individuals and as a team.
Fantastic Four vol. 3 (1998) #60 - 70
Renumbers to Fantastic Four vol. 1 (1961) #500 - 524
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s run — Published under the Marvel Knights imprint, which was more geared at older readers. Features the Fantastic Four losing their money and the Baxter Building, and being forced to start “civilian” jobs.
Marvel Knights 4 (2004) #1 - 30 (also sometimes just referred to as 4)
The events of 4 #1 - 12 occur between Fantastic Four vol. 1 (1961) #516 - 517; 4 #30 takes place before Civil War (2006) #1
Jonathan Hickman’s run — Widely regarded as one of the best Fantastic Four runs of all time. Introduces the Future Foundation and sees Spider-Man join the team.
Dark Reign: Fantastic Four (2009) #1 - 5 
Fantastic Four vol. 1 (1961) #570 - 588
FF vol. 1 (2011) #1 -11
Begins alternating with Fantastic Four, starting with Fantastic Four vol. 1 (1961) #600
F4 #600, FF #12, F4 #601, FF #13, etc. Onwards like that until Fantastic Four #611 and FF #22
Matt Fraction + Mark Bagley’s run — A great run that takes place almost entirely in either space or various alternate universes. Some minor issues with characterization, but overall a very enjoyable read!
Fantastic Four vol. 4 (2013) #1 - 16
Runs simultaneously with FF vol. 2 (2013) #1 - 16
Merges at #16 for both books
James Robinson + Leonard Kirk’s run — the latest run of the Fantastic Four. Strong character work and beautiful art. References past canon a great deal, but it is solid on it’s own.
Fantastic Four vol. 5 (2014) #1 - 14
Renumbers to Fantastic Four vol. 1 (1961) #642 - 645. For the first time since 1961, there is no monthly Fantastic Four comic being published.
Optional extended reading below the cut!

The Very Comprehensive Deadpool Masterpost
The aim of this post is to introduce new fans to Deadpool’s comics and help you identify which collections, trade paperbacks and omnibus books Deadpool’s individual stories, issues and runs can be found in as well as which order to read them. 
I will not be providing links to any pirated copies and would rather not recommend websites as prices will vary across the dozens of sites comics can be purchased from.
I have read every single issue on this list so if you have any questions or need any help please do feel free to ask me.
Created: 5th March 2017 Updated: 31st July 2017
Main Deadpool Continuity & Reading Order
This is the bulk of the masterlist. Each of Deadpool’s main books and stories are listed below in the order which they should be read from the very beginning all the way up to, and including, his current shenanigans. I have marked a few recommended starting points so if you do not wish to tackle the entire list there should be a starting point which suits you.
Deadpool: The Circle Chase (1993) #1 - #4 This is Deadpool’s first ever solo miniseries. It introduces Weasel, Vanessa and themes which crop up throughout the rest of Deadpool’s runs. -Collected in; Deadpool Classic Vol. 1 or Deadpool: Beginnings Omnibus or Deadpool The Adamantium Collection or Deadpool & X-Force Omnibus
Deadpool: Sins of the Past (1994) #1 - #4 Deadpool’s second miniseries explores Deadpool’s relationship with his past and teases his origins. -Collected in; Deadpool Classic Vol. 1 or Deadpool: Beginnings Omnibus or Deadpool & X-Force Omnibus
Deadpool (1997) #-1 - #69 [A Recommended Starting Point] This was Deadpool’s first ongoing and it ran from 1997 to 2002. Plot elements from his first and second miniseries are picked up and expanded upon here. Several writers contributed to this series, most notably Joe Kelly, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Gail Simone. -Collected in; Deadpool Classic Vol. 1 - Vol. 9 or Deadpool by Joe Kelly Omnibus & Deadpool Classic Omnibus Vol. 1 
Agent X (2002) #1 - #15 After Deadpool (1997) ended his book was replaced by a new, similar character who shares Deadpool’s supporting cast from his last 5 issues. Deadpool returns in the final 3 issues of this series. -Collected in; Deadpool Classic Vol. 9 & Vol. 10 or Deadpool Classic Omnibus Vol. 1
Cable & Deadpool (2004) #1 - #50 [A Recommended Starting Point] Characters from Agent X (2002) make an appearance throughout this series which is written by Deadpool’s co-creator Fabian Nicieza. Deadpool’s relationship with Cable is one of the most loved in comics and Cable is scheduled to appear in Deadpool 2. This is a big, thematic book exploring heroism and the bigger picture. -Collected in; Cable & Deadpool: If Looks Could Kill, The Burnt Offering, The Human Race, Bosom Buddies, Living Legends, Paved With Good Intentions, Separation Anxiety & Deadpool vs. The Marvel Universe  or 3 Deadpool & Cable Ultimate Collection books  or the Deadpool & Cable Omnibus
Deadpool Annual (2013) #1 Although this was released in 2013 the first half of the story explains the origin of the white caption box which makes its appearance throughout Deadpool (2008). The second half of the story leads into Deadpool (2012) so it may be worth revisiting this issue before you start that series. -Collected in; Deadpool: The Wedding of Deadpool or Deadpool: The Ones With Deadpool or Deadpool Classic Vol. 18: Deadpool vs. Marvel
Deadpool (2008) #1 - #63 This is the book which was being published when Deadpool exploded into the phenomenon he is today. All 63 issues were written by Daniel Way and you can see the zany fingerprints he left on the character present in the fandom, the video game and all the ongoing books and miniseries from 2009 to 2012. -Collected in; Deadpool: Secret Invasion, Dark Reign, X Marks The Spot, Monkey Business, What Happens In Vegas, I Rule You Suck, Space Oddity, Operation Annihilation, Institutionalized, Evil Deadpool & Dead  or 4 Deadpool: The Complete Collection by Daniel Way books or Deadpool by Daniel Way Omnibus Vol. 1
Uncanny X-Force (2010) #1 - #35 Running alongside Daniel Way’s Deadpool from 2010 onwards, this book was written by Rick Remender and features a more grounded Deadpool working in a team setting. -Collected in; Uncanny X-Force: The Apocalypse Solution, Deathlok Nation, The Dark Angel Saga Book 1, The Dark Angel Saga Book 2, Otherworld & Final Execution or two Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender: The Complete Collection books or the Uncanny X-Force Omnibus by Rick Remender also see: Uncanny X-Force: Fear Itself #1 - #3 collected in; Fear Itself: Uncanny X-Force / The Deep
Deadpool vs. Thanos (2015) #1 - #4 Although this was released in 2015 its events occur before Deadpool (2012). This is a cosmic roadtrip taken by two people who hate one another. -Collected in; Deadpool vs Thanos or Deadpool Classic Vol. 18: Deadpool vs. Marvel
Thunderbolts (2012) #1 - #32 Daniel Way initially writes this series before Charles Soule and then Ben Acker & Ben Blacker take over. It’s Deadpool in a team setting which is less bloody than Uncanny X-Force but not as clean cut as the Avengers. -Collected in; Thunderbolts: No Quarter, Red Scare, Infinity, No Mercy, Punisher vs. The Thunderbolts notes: Can be read alongside Deadpool (2012) although there is very little crossover. The series ends before Deadpool (2012) Original Sin. Hawkeye vs Deadpool (2014) should be read after this series as it references its cancellation. Deadpool (2012) #1 - #45 & Deadpool: Dracula’s Gauntlet #1 - #13  [A Recommended Starting Point] This is the beginning of the Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn era of Deadpool which is currently ongoing, the two comedians have left an impression on Deadpool and introduced a strong supporting cast which will be felt for years to come. -Collected in; Deadpool: Dead Presidents, Soul Hunter, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Deadpool vs. S.H.I.E.L.D, Deadpool: Dracula’s Gauntlet, The Wedding of Deadpool, Original Sin, Axis & All Good Things  or 4 Deadpool by Duggan & Posehn hardcovers or the Deadpool by Duggan & Posehn Omnibus notes: Deadpool: The Gauntlet was initially released digitally on ComiXology and was built for digital reading Annuals & one-shots are collected in; Deadpool: The Ones With Deadpool Flashback issues are collected in chronological order in; Deadpool: Flashbacks
Mrs Deadpool and the Howling Commandos (2015) #1 - #4 A book set during Marvel’s world-ending ’Secret Wars’ series where the Marvel multiverses smashed together and created a patchwork planet called ‘Battleworld’, this book follows our Deadpool on a journey through an altered reality which he can’t interact with. -Collected in; Mrs Deadpool and the Howling Commandos or Deadpool Classic Vol. 19: Make War, Not Love
Deadpool & Cable: Split Second (2016) #1 - #6 Written by Cable & Deadpool writer and Deadpool co-creator Fabian Nicieza, this book lays the groundwork for some Deadpool (2015) and Uncanny Avengers (2015) stories while also standing perfectly on its own. -Collected in; Deadpool & Cable: Split Second
Uncanny Avengers (2015) #1 - ongoing [A Recommended Starting Point] Deadpool? In an Avengers book? That’s not a mistake. Gerry Duggan pens this series and again spotlights Deadpool in a blockbuster-level team setting. -Currently collected in; Uncanny Avengers Unity: Vol. 1 Lost Future, Vol. 2 The Man Who Fell to Earth, Vol. 3 Civil War II,  Vol. 4 Red Skull notes: Issues #7 & #8 crossover with All-New All-Different Avengers #7 & #8 and the full story is collected in Avengers: Standoff. Deadpool leaves the book after Vol. 4. Deadpool (2015) #1 - ongoing The Merc With A Mouth is more popular than ever before and this series, written solo by Gerry Duggan, reflects the reality and forces the Marvel Universe to take notice. This is the main ongoing Deadpool book and it shows no signs of stopping. -Currently collected in; Deadpool World’s Greatest: Vol. 1 Millionaire With A Mouth, Vol. 2 End of an Error, Vol 3. Deadpool vs. Sabretooth, Vol. 4 Temporary Insanitation, Vol. 5 Civil War II, Vol. 6 Patience: Zero, Vol. 7 Deadpool Does Shakespeare or 2 Deadpool World’s Greatest hardcover volumes awaiting release: Deadpool World’s Greatest: Vol. 8 ‘Til Death Do Us…, Deadpool 2099, Deadpool World’s Greatest: Vol 9 Deadpool in Space, World’s Greatest HC Vol. 3, Deadpool World’s Greatest: Vol 10 Secret Empire
Peripheral Deadpool Books
These books run alongside Deadpool (2015) loosely fitting into the continuity and are all ongoing unless specified.
Deadpool & the Mercs for Money (2016) #1 - #5 [Miniseries] Written by Cullen Bunn, who penned almost every Deadpool miniseries from 2012, this is a short ‘pilot series’ featuring Deadpool leading his own team. It goes as well as you’d expect. -Collected in; Deadpool & The Mercs for Money: Vol. 0 Merc Madness notes: Should be read before Deadpool (2015) World’s Greatest: Vol. 5 Civil War II
Spider-Man/Deadpool (2016) #1 - ongoing The internet made this book happen, there is no denying that. The book features a lot of fanservice and some absolutely surreal storylines. Primarily written by Joe Kelly with other writers doing filler issues this is a series which threatens to unseat Cable and Deadpool as comics’ most adored pair. -Currently collected in; Spider-Man/Deadpool: Vol. 1 Isn’t It Bromantic?,  Vol. 2 Side Pieces awaiting release: Spider-Man/Deadpool: Vol. 3 Itsy Bitsy
Deadpool & The Mercs for Money (2016) #1 - #10 Cullen Bunn returns for Deadpool’s adventures with his team as things go south for our favourite merc real fast. -Currently collected in; Deadpool & The Mercs for Money: Vol. 1 Mo’ Mercs, Mo’ Monkeys, Vol. 2 IvX , Deadpool World’s Greatest Vol 8: ‘Til Death Do Us… notes: Should be read after Deadpool (2015) World’s Greatest: Vol. 5 Civil War II

*minis. dickroy interactions are sporadic but the whole mini has been mentioned here because skipping to specific issues means missing out on the plot imo.
what about prime earth?
unfortunately, dick and roy’s relationship with each other has been mostly erased as of the reboot, and the rising popularity of dickwally thanks to the young justice animated series means it (and jayroy) is probably going to continue to eclipse dickroy from now on. you can get some dickroy from the dc rebirth holiday special and the second titans annual, but that’s about it. adieu to a good ship - it was beautiful while it lasted.
