I should point out here that this is the order of the comics as established by publish date, and some people find it to be a little inconsistent. Whether you want to pick up individual issues at your local comic shop, go digital, or read the trades, this guide will help you get the exact issues you need for a complete reading experience. So I put together this guide to reading the full thing. Everything’s collected in an easy-to-follow series of trades, which is honestly pretty affordable if you want to buy all of them. If you want to read absolutely everything, starting with House of X up through the X of Swords event, which concluded at the end of 2020, it’s actually pretty easy. Not only did this rewrite all of the rules of the X universe, but it served as a soft reboot for the entire X line that has some measure of separation from the greater Marvel universe. However, reading the X-Men became far easier back in 2019 with Jonathan Hickman’s House of X/Powers of X event. Established characters have decades of baggage, and because of cross-series pollination and world-altering events, modern comics can be pretty unforgiving to new readers. Marvel comics can be intimidating to jump into. May contain mild to moderate sexual tension and/or possible implications of something more taking place off canvas, but nothing beyond kissing actually occurs within the text.

In Part Three: Birth of a Freedom Fighter, Mandela begins spending time at the home of Walter Sisulu, a prominent member of the ANC. There, he learns more about urban life in South Africa, works in a law firm, and gains exposure to the ANC and Communist Party in South Africa.

The following version of this book was used to create the guide: Mandela, Nelson Rolihlahla. JJ confess he wrote the book he wished he had found as a teenage boy? I too wish I found a book like this when I was younger. This curiosity was fuelled out of despair, frustration and anger. I read a lot of non-fiction, years of reading about feminism, anti-capitalism, mental health and communication skills prepared me for most of the content. Thankfully I have got to a place in my life where many of the concepts are not surprising to me, I am only in such a place because of the benefit of time. The book ends with a ten-point plan, which I would clumsily reduce to "feminism" is the solution and I whole heartily agree. It doesn't cast aspersions about men, It's a highly compassionate book cataloguing the many plights of men, their needs as human's and how patriarchy gets in the way. JJ Bola's book "Mask off" reflects on the current state of western masculinity. This is an indication of my curiosity of the many subjects covered and a testament to the source material. The Author JJ Bola constantly references books and research to support his opinions and first-hand observations, which I am happily frustrated that I need to go off and do further reading. As a result, there is intentional missing depth on certain topics. The book is highly accessible and easy to digest. It is made up of 8 chapters, each with playful titles, made from popular song lyrics. The book is relatively short and easy to read.
