Comics have a problem, and that problem is that it is really hard to make sure you are reading everything in order. That problem becomes even harder as a trade paperback readers who has to consult fan made reading orders to ensure you are missing a single page of action. The brain trust there at Marvel Comics has an idea to make that easier in our new era of X-Men.
The DAWN OF X Vol 1 Trade Paperback will collect the first issues of all six books in this new X-Men relaunch. In a way, this is similar to the Shonen Jump style of releasing manga. It is a grab bag of stories that folks can collect and try out, but in this case all being interconnected. This has been done before in large omnibus collections of first issues, but never in this smaller package. This new way of doing things may crack a nut that comics have been struggling with for a long time.
This trade will be released in February 2020. See below for more details.
