X-Men Publications

The X-Titles

The current books which tell the stories of the interacting genetic soap
opera which is the X-Men are as follows:

   * Uncanny X-Men
     The original book, covers the Gold Team of the X-Men.

   * X-Men
     The "sequel" to Uncanny X-Men, covers the Blue Team of the X-Men.

   * Excalibur
     Adventures with Excalibur. At least until lately, this was more of a
     humor-based book than the rest of the X-titles.

   * X-Factor
     The trials and tribulations of X-Factor. This book has changed focus
     and characters more than any other X-title.

   *  X-Force
     Gun-slingin' action with X-Force. Usually more action-based than the
     other X-titles.

   *  Cable
     Adventures in time with X-Force's bossman.

   *  Wolverine
     The most popular X-Man's solo title. Usually turns out to be a much
     more odd title than one would expect.

   *  Generation X
     Teaching new mutants how to grow up, in all senses of the word.

   * X-Man
     The adventures of Nate Grey, Cable's cross-time counterpart and
     holdover from Age of Apocalypse.

   *  X-Men Unlimited
     Double-sized stories going into more detail on only a small number of
     X-Men, or related characters, at a time. Usually done in more depth and
     greater detail than the usual comic, or else done with greater
     ineptitude and more lack of talent than any other title released that
     month.

   *  X-Men Adventures
     Adaptations of the X-Men animated television series. Has nothing to do
     with the main X-title continuity. X-Men Adventures is being renamed
     "X-Men Adventures II", etc., as the comic starts retelling the stories
     from the second, third, and so forth seasons of the animated series.

Titles besides those above in which X-Men or their ilk have been featured as
the main characters of are in the following list. Remember that even in
earlier decades Marvel was crossover happy, so it can be safely assumed that
the X-Men, given their popularity, have made guest appearances in probably
every Marvel comic.

These lists will not include any reprint volumes, such as the "Dark Phoenix
Saga." If you are aware of any titles which are missing on these lists,
please inform the FAQ keeper.
