Here are 6, that's SIX, preview pages of PAKLIS 8! This is the start of a new story that D.J. and I have wanted to do for many years now. It's a good issue!

do you know what the reading order for Mystique and Destiny is? I would love to read about their story
I'm not sure if there's a consolidated list for both of them, but Comic Book Herald has separate lists for each character:
I think you could just read what's on the Destiny list before she died and be covered on the duo, as most of Destiny's appearances were with Mystique. Mystique's list is much more extensive, as she had plenty of adventures of her own. Also, a lot of Destiny's list is actually focused on the "Destiny Diaries," a plot device that popped up several times after her death. Destiny died back in Uncanny X-Men #255, killed by Legion (who was possessed by the Shadow King at the time), so most of her "appearances" after that were in the forms of diaries she had left behind with her predictions for mutantkind ... they popped up a bunch after her death.
One thing to keep in mind about those earlier stories involving Mystique, Destiny, the Brotherhood and Freedom Force ... Mystique and Destiny's relationship was more of an "off the page" one that creators had to suppress because editorial and the Comics Code Authority at the time wouldn't let them do an overt relationship between two women. It's really only been with the current Krakoa/Quiet Council/Jonathan Hickman-spearheaded era that creators have been able to "fill in the blanks" on what they really meant, and mean, to each other.
As for my personal favorite Destiny/Mystique stories, pre-Krakoa, I'd suggest:
Hope that helps!
