X-Men launched as a comic book about a school of mutants, but by the early 80s it was clear that a team written by Chris Claremont and featuring the likes of Cyclops, Storm, and Wolverine had outgrown being students.New Mutants (2019) #1 by Rod Reis

While the injection of the occasional teen like Kitty Pryde or Jubilee into the team would briefly revive the scholastic concept, there was no getting around that Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters was neither a school nor filled with many youngsters.

Marvel’s solution to this was to capitalizing on the X-Men’s massive popularity to have Chris Claremont launch a second X-Men series and a third wave of new mutants. The book was called, appropriately, The New Mutants. It launched in 1983 with a prestige graphic novel followed by a series that ran for 100 issues.

New Mutants was meant to bring the X-Men back to their roots – a team of teens who had just discovered their powers, as mentored by Professor Xavier. As it turns out, even though comics characters don’t need to age, comics about teens have the same problem as TV shows about high school students – eventually there’s a need for them to learn something and eventually graduate! The New Mutants transformed into the more-proactive X-Force (see Guide to X-Force), once again leaving the line without a school-based title.

Marvel rectified that in 1994, when the Phalanx Covenant crossover launched Generation X – a fourth generation of new mutants. This generation was based in Emma Frost’s Massachusetts academy as mentored by her and Banshee – long-since retired from active adventuring.

Generation X ran through 2001, when Grant Morrison’s arrival shook up the entire X-Men line. Morrison repopulated the world with mutants, spawning new characters with bizarre powers at every page turn. The concept of the school moved back into their title, the newly-christened flagship of New X-Men. However, that book was mostly focused on the core of teachers at Xavier’s school, so Marvel launched a new volume of New Mutants alongside it where the former New Mutants could find even-newer mutants to recruit to the school.

This was the fifth genesis of new mutants, which became codified as New X-Men: Academy X. Academy X was the first real “school book” that kept the high school experience centered throughout its run and between team adventures. continued through several other flagship X-Men runs and transform into Young X-Men in 2008.

By that point, the effects of House of M meant there hadn’t been any new mutants in several years of publishing, and the X-line was under the direction to keep the mutant population contained. That changed again in 2010 after the end of “Second Coming” with the arrival of Generation Hope – the first of a sixth wave of new mutants.

Generation Hope subsequently was consolidated into Wolverine & The X-Men, which combined Academy X students with members of the new sixth genesis. That continued into Marvel Now, which would add some familiar faces to the sixth genesis – the original five X-Men, plucked from their Silver Age run as teens and brought to the modern day! This familiar cast of old new mutants took the spotlight off of the sixth class, although we’d continue to see new sixth class members as late as 2017 with a revived Generation X (with the original team as mentors).

Finally, the advent of the Age of Krakoa in 2019 began the seventh class of new mutants. This generation of mutants was different than what came before, because they arrived in a mutant society that promised them everything – health, happiness, and safety. However, that brought with it challenges unique to the mutant world, including many old foes intent on corrupting these young mutants to their own aims.

This guide is organized chronologically by title, but I find the easiest way to think about these many titles is to group them by incoming “Class” of mutants. Use the version of the table of contents that makes the most sense to you!

Where to Start Reading New Mutants, Generation X, New X-Men: Academy X, Young X-Men, Wolverine & The X-Men, All-New X-Men, & other young X-Men teams

Each class of new mutant character has a few recommended entry points to begin your read.A team that merges New Mutants, Generation X, & Academy X in New Mutants (2019) #11

3rd Class – The New Mutants. Start with New Mutants Graphic Novel, which is the debut of many of the team members that would star tin New Mutants (1983). Or, hop into the title once it finds its legs with New Mutants (1983) #18, which begins a classic run of issues with art from Bill Sienkiewicz. If you prefer a team that feels more like the X-Force line-up, start later after Inferno with New Mutants (1983) #76, which folds in new characters like Boom Boom and Rictor. Or, begin with a more modern run that is a terrific re-introduction of the team in New Mutants (2009) #1.

4th Class – Generation X. You have two obvious choices for this class of mutants – either read the prologue to their title in the Phalanx Covenant crossover, or simply start with Generation X (1994) #1. Luckily, Marvel’s collected editions make this choice simple for you – they usually collect the core of the crossover alongside issue #1.

5th Class – Academy X. While the New Mutants (2003) series acts as a prologue to assembling this class of mutants, you should simply start with New X-Men: Academy X (2004) #1 for all of the high school drama. Alternately, if you want to leap in with a smaller cast and a darker tone, start after House of M with New X-Men: Academy X (2004) #20. Either way, this title is free of X-Men crossovers until the final issues, so it’s a great one to bing!

6th Class – Generation Hope & The Jean Grey School. If you want to read this new generation of mutants in the greater context of X-Men continuity, you can start with Uncanny X-Men (1963) #526 and then continue from that arc to Generation Hope (2010) #1. However, if you just want school-based action, simply skip ahead to begin with the cartoonish Wolverine & The X-Men (2011) #1 or #19 (which was the start of “Year 2”). For a later self-contained read that’s slightly less silly, try binging Generation X (2017).

7th Class – The Age of Krakoa. One series contains all of the various young mutants of Krakoa – New Mutants (2019). If you read it from the beginning you’ll see a little of each class featured, right up to the newest mutants in the Marvel Universe.

Reading Order: New Mutants, Generation X, New X-Men: Academy X, Young X-Men, Wolverine & The X-Men, All-New X-Men, & other young X-Men teams

3rd Class:
The New Mutants #1-100 & Annual 1-7, Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) 4,
Special Edition (1985) #1, Fallen Angels (1985) #1-8, X-Terminators (1988) #1-4, Summer Special (1990) #1, & War Children (2019) #1 (1983 – 1991)

The first regular-series X-Men spinoff, New Mutants begins parallel to Uncanny X-Men #167 (which features the team).

The New Mutants debut in Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) 4Initially penned by regular X-scribe Chris Claremont, New Mutants started out as a full-fledged side team to the main X-Men book, complete with its own strong sense of mythology. While it starts out as a typical teen hero book, it transforms into something completely different and altogether unique when Bill Sienkiewicz joins the title starting with issue #18.

After Claremont’s run completed at issue #54 the book reverted to more typical “teen team” from adept writer Louise Jones Simonson. Later, artist, plotter, and pouch-aficionado Rob Liefield pushed the book into a more militaristic direction leading up to its transformation into X-Force. While X-Force launches with just Cannonball and Boom Boom from the classic New Mutants line-up over time the team adds Sunspot, Rictor, Dani Moonstar, and Siryn from Fallen Angels.

New X-Men: Academy X (2004) #1-46, Yearbook #1, New X-Men: Hellions (2005) #1-4,
& World War Hulk: X-Men (2007) #1-3 (2004 – 2007)

New X-Men: Academy X is a direct continuation of New Mutants. It begins July 2004, concurrent with the X-Men Reloaded event – parallel to Uncanny X-Men#444, X-Men#157, and the launches of New Excalibur and Astonishing X-Men.

In the Marvel Universe, it intersects House of M at issue #16.

Stories shifted focus from recruiters to students starting with the first issue as New X-Men: Academy X, which shortened its name to simply New X-Men starting with issue #20.

New X-Men featured an avalanche of newer mutant characters who were whittled down editorially and mortally over the course of the series. Losing so many characters to attrition made the survivors really stand out – Hellion, Surge, X-23, Prodigy, Mercury, Dust, Elixir, Rockslide, Pixie, and Wither all became major characters in their own rights.

5th Class:
Young X-Men (2008) #1-12

Begins April 2008, parallel to Uncanny X-Men #495 and X-Factor #28, as well as the the launches of X-Men Legacy and X-Force (vol. 3).

In the Marvel Universe, it starts two months prior to Secret Invasion.

A maxi-series continuation of the characters Rockslide, Blindfold, and Dust from New X-Men – it falls a bit flat without the bigger personalities of Hellion, Surge, Elixir, and Pixie – who variously appear next in Uncanny, as well as in concurrent anthology titles X-Men: Divided We Stand and X-Men: Manifest Destiny, and after “Second Coming” in X-Men: To Serve and Protect. Elixir stars in X-Force. [Marvel Unlimited]

3rd & 5th Class:
X-Infernus (2008) #1-4 & X-Infernus Saga (2008) #1

This mostly focused on the Academy X cast in the wake of Young X-Men (and prior to Utopia), but it also acts as a direct prologue to New Mutants (2009). I think folks can slightly confuse its placement at times, since it is collected alongside the final issues of Academy X, but it was actually released at the same time as the final issues of Young X-Men.

#1-4 (2009 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-0785139478 / 2009 paperback, ISBN 978-0785138747 / digital)

3rd Class:
New Mutants (2009) #1-50 & Exiled (2011) #1 (2009 – 2012)

Begins July 2008, parallel to Uncanny X-Men #510, X-Men Legacy #224, and X-Force #15 (in the midst of the Messiah War event).

In the Marvel Universe, it starts after the majority of Dark Reign has concluded.

After the X-Infernus Saga brought Magik back to the X-titles, Marvel reshuffled nearly all of the characters from the original 1980s New Mutants team back to a book of the same name.

New Mutants (2009) #15Rather than be a step back for the characters, New Mutants represents a major step forward – for some characters, the first in twenty years! Notably, Cannonball became a full-fledged X-Man, Moonstar lost her powers, and Magik reverted to her younger age and perished from the Legacy Virus.

Wolverine & The X-Men (2011) #1-42 & Annual 1 by Jason Aaron
and Wolverine & The X-Men: Alpha & Omega (2011) #1-5 (2011 – 2014)

Begins after the resolution of Schism, parallel to other “Regenesis” issues of X-Men – including new co-flagship Uncanny X-Men #1, X-Men Legacy #259, X-Factor #230, Astonishing X-Men #44, New Mutants #33, X-Men #20, Uncanny X-Force #19, Wolverine #17, & Generation Hope #13.

In the Marvel Universe, Schism & Regenesis occur after the conclusions of Fear Itself & Children’s Crusade, even though they were published afterward.

After a schism in the X-Men, half of the team remains on Utopia while Wolverine goes back to school back to school with scripter Jason Aaaron letting out his wacky side.

Wolverine takes a small portion of the adult X-Men (less than 10), but the lion’s share of the younger mutants to start the new Jean Grey School For Higher Learning, with Kitty Pryde as an impossibl- young headmistress, Beast as chief of technology, and Iceman as head of finance – plus a slew of other classic characters as professors!

Wolverine opens the school only to face the twin challenges of the education board and the ground opening up beneath the school to swallow it whole! Prominently stars Quentin Quire, Idie, Broo, and Kid Gladiator with appearances from Academy X characters like Hellion and Glob – all versus a new all-kid Hellfire Club.

During this series, Wolverine, Storm, Iceman, and Quentin Quire also appear in Amazing X-Men, and then head to a second Wolverine & The X-Men series, below. Storm and Rachel Grey also appear in  X-Men (2013). Kitty Pryde also appears in All-New X-Men (2013). [Marvel Unlimited: Wolverine & The X-Men, Annual, Alpha & Omega]

    Hi,

    I was wondering what a good jumping on point for New Mutants is? I’ve collected the following but not sure if I should go back further.

    X-Infernus TPB
    New Mutants, Vol. 1: Return of Legion
    New Mutants Volume 2: Necrosha
    X-Men: Second Coming
    New Mutants Volume 3: Fall of the New Mutants
    X-Men: Age of X
    New Mutants Volume 4: Unfinished Business

    I was thinking of going back to New X-Men: Academy X and working forward. I really like Craig Kyle and Chris Yost’s work. Just trying to find a good starting point but be able to understand what’s going on.

    Thanks,
    Phillip

      Marvel has been pretty consistent about the New Mutants brand applying to a pretty specific cast of younger characters and not just to the school in general, which relieves you from having to do a lot of backtracking when it comes to the series. X-Infernus acts as a sort of prologue to the 2008 series you’re mentioning, as well as bridging from the prior young (but not “New”) mutants title, Academy X. Academy X is great (and it was preceded by a short run of New Mutants), but you’re not going to gain any essential knowledge for the 2008 New Mutants run from reading it. I think you’re set to go!

    Evolutionary War Omnibus only collects the first and third stories from New Mutants Annual #4 and omits the middle story “If Wishes Were Horses” — thought you may want to note that for people trying to collect everything in a hodge-podge way.

      Thanks, that’s a great note! I think several of those annuals have middle stories omitted in Evolutionary War and Atlantis Attacks.

    […] Visit the New Mutants Guide. This is a bittersweet reveal – getting this material back into print is a good thing, but online fans were hoping for an omnibus – it placed #2 on this year’s secret ballot. Renewal is the name of Marvel Graphic Novel 4, and the inclusion of McLeod and the lack of Seinciwcz on this illustrator list means it will be New Mutants #1-17 & Uncanny X-Men #167. Of course, that could just be an error, as I have no idea what the Frank Miller issues could indicate. […]

    […] This book was destined to be a throw-away, just one more volume to fill in the Wolverine void for a year before the big reset button got pressed. Instead we got one of the most amazing Spider-Man books in years – one where he never takes off his mask, has a romantic interest, or falls prey to his rogue’s gallery. Oh, and it was also the best younger X-Men book since Kyle and Yost on New X-Men a freaking decade ago, both breathing life into two of their favorites in Hellion and Rockslide and making Aaron’s freshly-made Shark Girl into a real star.
