X-Men is an ongoing American comic book series featuring the titular team of superheroes, published by Marvel Comics, beginning in September 2010.

The series was preceded by The X-Men vol. 1 (renamed The Uncanny X-Men in 1978) and X-Men: Legacy (initially known as X-Men vol. 2) from 1991 to 2001, New X-Men from 2001 to 2004 and again X-Men from 2004 to 2008).

Volume 3 began publication in September 2010 and, for most of its run featuring team-ups between the X-Men and other Marvel characters, ended at issue #41 in February 2013. As part of Marvel NOW!, the title was relaunched as a new series (volume 4) written by Brian Wood and featuring an all-female team. X-Men was relaunched as the flagship title again in October 2019 following Jonathan Hickman's House of X and Powers of X, with Hickman writing and art by Leinil Francis Yu. As the fifth volume of the title, the series ran for 21 issues, before it was subsequently relaunched as volume 6 (written by Gerry Duggan) in July 2021. The sixth volume ran for 35 issues through the rest of the Krakoan Age. A seventh volume, written by Jed MacKay, is scheduled to launch in July 2024.

Publication history

Volume 3 (2010–2013)

The 2010 X-Men series was the third ongoing series to launch with the title following the first series (vol. 1) in 1963 and the second series (vol. 2) in 1991. To distinguish itself from the other contemporary X-Men titles, this third volume of X-Men was conceived as a title that would focus on the mutants' role in the wider Marvel Universe and "...firmly integrate the X-Men in the Marvel Universe." As a result, the initial story arcs featured a guest appearance from characters from the Marvel Universe ranging from Spider-Man to Blade.

In April 2010, at Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo, it was announced that the relaunched series would be helmed by writer Victor Gischler with art by Paco Medina. Gischler wrote the first 29 issues and In 2012, was replaced by Brian Wood who wrote issues #30–37. Wood took the series in a new direction, focusing on Storm leading a security team of X-Men and dropping the 'team-up' element that was previously a part of the book.

The team-up elements were briefly brought back in issues #38 and 39. Seth Peck was the writer for issues #38–41 before it was cancelled in November 2012; the series ended in February 2013.

Volume 4 (2013–2015)

As part of Marvel NOW!, the series was relaunched and it was the first time in the history of the X-Men franchise to have a series composed entirely of female X-Men, with an initial roster of Jubilee, Storm, Rogue, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Grey and Psylocke. The series brought back writer Brian Wood with art by Olivier Coipel. On the roster shift, Wood commented:

I think this title here will be an interesting test case, to see if a high-profile book with an high-profile artist and marquee characters can indeed overcome what often happens to books starring female heroes. I think we have a good shot, but even now, based only off the announcement, there’s all sorts of negative feedback that ranges from generic sexism, to open hostility, and to lame charges of reverse sexism. Chances are this book will launch very high, but if we can keep it high and resist the typical decline that happens to female-led superhero comics, we'll have proved something and maybe even set a precedent, and that would be fantastic.

The first issue was released in May 2013. Wood left the series in 2014 with issue #17, saying, "I left the title on my own accord, no drama, no pressure, just moving on".

Marc Guggenheim took over the title starting with issue #18 in August 2014; his last issue was #22 in December 2014. G. Willow Wilson was then brought on to write the 4 issue (#23–26) arc "The Burning World" in 2015; Wilson was the "first female writer to work on X-Men" since the relaunch "with an all-female X-Men roster". The 2014 New York Comic Con "Women of Marvel" panel highlighted that each issue "of the story will be told from a different character's point of view". Marvel then cancelled its entire publishing line, including X-Men, for the Secret Wars (2015) event storyline. X-Men was not continued during the post-Secret Wars publishing initiative All-New, All-Different Marvel (2015–2019).

Volume 5 (2019–2021)

See also: Krakoan Age

As part of Marvel's "Dawn of X" initiative following Jonathan Hickman's relaunch of the Marvel X-Men line, X-Men relaunched in October 2019, written by Hickman and with art by Leinil Francis Yu. Although the first cover featured the extended Summers family (Cyclops, Havok, Vulcan, Corsair, Cable, Jean Grey, Rachel Summers) with Wolverine, Hickman had stated that this book is intended to be an "all-encompassing mutant title" and the cast may change.

Volume 6 (2021–2024)

See also: Krakoan Age

This volume was launched during the "Reign of X" initiative, continued through "Destiny of X" and concluded with the end of "Fall of X" with issue #35 (legacy Uncanny X-Men #700). It was written by Gerry Duggan with art by Pepe Larraz and Javier Pina. The initial roster included Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Rogue, Wolverine, Synch, Sunfire and Polaris – following the announcement of a new volume, SyFy Wire highlighted that while volume 5 was titled X-Men the "book never actually featured a team of mutant superheroes going out and doing missions for the betterment of the planet. The age of Krakoa has left the mutants more insular, more isolated from a world that still perhaps hates and fears them, but after the events of X of Swords and the near-invasion of Earth that stemmed from that clash, Cyclops and Marvel Girl decided it was time for a change. The world, they argued, needs the X-Men again, and this July we'll see what that new team can do".

It was announced in July 2022 that Joshua Cassara and C.F. Villa would take over art duties for the series.

Volume 7 (2024–present)

See also: X-Men: From the Ashes

In the post-Krakoan Age, the X-Men will based in Alaska with an initial roster of "Cyclops, Beast, Magneto, Psylocke, Kid Omega, Temper (formerly Oya), Magik and Juggernaut". It will be written Jed MacKay with art by Ryan Stegman and is scheduled for release in July 2024.

Plot summary

Volume 3 (2010 series)

The first story arc, "Curse of the Mutants", comprising issues #1–6, involves the X-Men battling the vampire nations and teaming up with Blade.

The second story arc, "To Serve and Protect", comprising issues #7–10, involves the team of Storm, Gambit, Emma Frost and Wolverine returning to New York, where they team up with Spider-Man to battle the Lizard and the Dark Beast in the sewers of Manhattan.

An interlude story then followed with Professor X telling Jubilee of an earlier encounter he had with the vampire Raizo Kodo. This was followed by the "First to Last" storyline, which began with X-Men Giant-Size #1 and saw the original X-Men appear in flashback scenes of a previously untold adventure.

Another one-shot story saw a team of X-Men team up with the new female Ghost Rider to battle a mystical enemy. The most recent storyline featured the Future Foundation teaming up with the X-Men, where they also encountered Skull the Slayer. Following on from the 2011 "Regenesis" event among the X-titles, Marvel have announced that X-Men will be among the titles aligned with Cyclops's vision of the X-Men and feature a more covert group of characters, with Colossus, Domino, Jubilee, Psylocke, Storm and Warpath being the initial lineup. The team-up aspect of the title remained, with the first arc featuring War Machine. This was followed by the return of Raizo Kodo for an arc dealing with Jubilee's vampirism.

The title then took on a change in direction; with the exits of Warpath and Jubilee from the cast and the addition of Pixie, the storyline focused on Storm leading a "security team" of X-Men dealing with potential threats to mutants.

Issue #38 featured a return to the team-up elements of the book and features Domino and Daredevil.

Volume 5 (2019 series)

Following the events of House of X and Powers of X, the mutants of the world attempt to adjust to their new lives on the Krakoa and face the challenges of building a mutant society. Cyclops, having chosen to live on the Moon, invites his father Corsair to a family dinner and gives him a Krakoan flower so that he is able to visit the island whenever he wants. Orchis, still recovering from their defeat during House of X/Powers of X, are dealt another blow when Cyclops, Storm, Magneto and Polaris liberate captured mutants from one of their vaults; however, their director, Devo, is optimistic about his plans to get revenge on the mutants. Arakko, a new sentient island, appears near Krakoa and the two appear to be moving towards one another, so Cyclops, Prestige and Cable head to Arakko to investigate and find the island swarming with monsters. An envoy is sent to meet with the X-Men, but a miscommunication leads to a fight before Prestige is able to facilitate a parley. The envoy reveals that the two islands are reuniting after a long estrangement and later meets with Apocalypse, warning him of a coming danger. When the guardian of the Krakoan gate to the Savage Land is bypassed, Pixie and Anole are attacked by a group of elderly women wielding advanced weaponry who somehow managed to pass through the gate, despite not being mutants. The compromising of one of its gates causes Krakoa great pain, which is felt by the telepaths on the island, prompting the Krakoan Council to send Cyclops, Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw to investigate. The group, Hordeculture, is composed of radical botanists and bioengineers who, tired of humanity poisoning Earth, have enacted a plan to take control of the world's food supply; however, the emergence of Krakoa has unexpectedly altered their plans and they now require some Krakoan flowers to further their research. They manage to defeat the X-Men and retreat with their samples, while Cyclops and the others report the threat to the council. Meanwhile, Professor X, Magneto, Apocalypse, Cyclops and Gorgon attend an economic conference in Switzerland, where various world dignitaries ask them about their plans as a nation. Professor X senses assault groups closing in on them and sends Cyclops and Gorgon to take care of them while Magneto fields questions, criticising the human race for all of its shortcomings in regards to how it treats its people. Xavier reveals to the dignitaries that their assault teams have been taken care of and that, while he reiterates his love for both humans and mutants, this type of aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated by Krakoa.

While pursuing a posthuman who escaped from the Orchis vault, Wolverine is called back to Krakoa when she returns to the vault and locks herself inside of it. After consultation with Professor X and Magneto, he is redeployed with Cyclops, Storm and Armor to act as a distraction for the vault's defence system while X-23, Darwin and Synch infiltrate it. Five months later, the team still have not returned and Cyclops laments his decision to send them inside. It is revealed that, during their attack on Orchis, Mystique was tasked with planting a Krakoan gateway so that the mutants would be able to spy on the Initiative, with Mystique agreeing on the promise that the council would resurrect her wife Destiny. After subsequently dying during the mission and being resurrected, Magneto tells her that they will not bring Destiny back until Mystique can prove she succeeded and send her back to the Orchis space station. While there, she disguises herself as a researcher and is given a component by Devo to deliver to his chief scientist Doctor Gregor, who is attempting to resurrect her husband who was killed by the X-Men during the attack. Mystique reports what she has learned but Magneto and Professor X explain that she must do more before they will bring Destiny back, enraging her. Mystique remembers one of Destiny's prophecies, telling her about Krakoa and warning that she would be denied of the one thing she wanted. Destiny advises her to bring her back to life at all costs, burning the island to the ground if necessary.

Critical reception

Rory Wilding, for AIPT in April 2020, reviewed the first six issues of Jonathan Hickman's run on X-Men (Vol. 5) and highlighted that the "team roster changes" in each issue "which allows Hickman to show a variety of character dynamics. But if there is one character who is closest to being the main protagonist of the book, it would be Cyclops". Wilding felt that Hickman was able to balance the "seriousness" and "politics" with moments of "humor" and that while "there are some recurring threads throughout, each issue has its own identity, based on the sci-fi ideas Hickman wants to explore, some of which are heavy thinkers that set up big things in later issues". Wilding also highlighted the various artists on book – Leinil Francis Yu, with consistent work on the first four issues, who delivers "the big superhero/sci-fi spectacle, but does slightly struggle in the character domesticity" and R.B. Silva, on the fifth issue, "whose breathtaking visuals (colored by Marte Gracia) make me wish he drew more of the surroundings of Krakoa and Ecuador". However, Wilding thought the "standout" was the sixth issue "thanks to Matteo Buffagni's expressive artwork, how it ties into the events of House of X, and being a subtle character drama about one of the most iconic characters in X-Men lore". In March 2022, Micheal Foulk of The Beat commented that Hickman's entire run "is non-linear and focuses on somewhat disconnected world-building vignettes set during the first few months after House of X. Following the timeline can be difficult but definitely not impossible" and that "Hickman is not one for holding the reader's hand through the big ideas, and he is a writer who deals in MASSIVE concepts. If it doesn't all make sense to you immediately, don't feel bad, I'm personally still connecting all the dots and I just reread all of it". Foulk opined that "Hickman's X-Men is expansive and almost overwhelming with all of its new ideas. I'm so excited to have this opportunity to reread these story arcs with a critical lens. This is an era that truly benefits from being read multiple times as each issue takes on new significance with more context".

Hickman's work on House of X (2019), Powers of X (2019), X-Men (Vol. 5), X-Men: Inferno (2022) was #2 on Nerdist's 2023 "The 10 Greatest X-Men Comic Book Runs of All Time, Rabked" list — Hickman "introduced new concepts and ideas to the Marvel mutant universe with practically every new issue. Because of this, the franchise became more exciting than it had been in years. Hickman worked with many artists during this time, primarily Pepe Larraz and Leinil Francis Yu, all of which elevated it to one of the best-looking X-Men runs, along with one of the most innovative and fresh. It might have only lasted three years, but Hickman’s time on the X-Men franchise is one fans will still be talking about for decades to come".

David Harth, for CBR in August 2023, highlighted that Hickman's volume 5 was the initial flagship title in the Krakoan Age where he "set down the building blocks that would flesh out" the era. However, when Hickman unexpectedly left, the series was rebooted as volume 6 with writer Gerry Duggan; while X-Men (Vol. 6) "sold well", the series felt "less important than when Hickman was writing" the previous volume. He viewed Pepe Larraz as "Marvel's heaviest-hitting penciler" but Gerry Duggan as a "steady hand" instead of a "superstar". Harth opined that the addition of Immortal X-Men by Kieron Gillen and X-Men Red by Al Ewing led to X-Men falling "further in readers' esteem" as "many fans" assumed the new titles "were the important books" because they had the more "A-list writers" even though all three titles had comparable art teams – "Immortal and Red gave readers more of the high-concept plots they were expecting and those books soon became the ones that most people thought of as flagships. X-Men (Vol. 6) was a fun superhero book, but it wasn't the center of the Krakoa Era anymore". However, Harth thought Dungan had the tools to "shine" in the upcoming Fall of X as a superhero story was what was needed which "should let X-Men (Vol. 6) retake its spot at the top". Ryan Sonneville, in his review of X-Men (Vol. 6) #19-24 for AIPT, commented that "overall, Gerry Duggan does a fine job getting all these characters to where they need to be prior to the Fall of X event, and their interpersonal interactions and action scenes are satisfying" and that "Stefano Caselli and Joshua Cassara deserve equal praise for the line work they do in this book". Sonneville opined that as the series approaches Fall of X it felt "like the X-Office didn't know what else to say about Krakoa"; however, "even when it feels like it is stalling, Duggan's X-Men was gratifying with plenty for fans to appreciate and enjoy". Sonneville, in his review of X-Men (Vol. 6) #25-29 for AIPT, commented that "Duggan has always excelled at being able to tell personal character stories that deliver those fan-favorite moments of comic book action and comradery. His X-Men run seemed to be a direct response to world-building focused storytelling of his predecessor, and these issues continue to add that same charm". Sonneville also highlighted the while there are multiple artist changes from issue to issue, "each issues looks great, while still feeling consistent with Duggan's script and the overall look for the title". Sonneville noted that he would miss Duggan's work when the series was rebooted after Fall of X – these issues "capture a love and interconnectedness between the cast that effortlessly weaves the larger line-wide plot into each issue. This isn't just a book to read to get caught up, but to celebrate the artistic power the X-Men continues to emanate into the comic community".
