Collecting X-Men regular series as Graphic Novels

The definitive, chronological, and up-to-date guide on collecting X-Men ongoing series – including X-Men solo series – via omnibuses, hardcovers, and trade paperback graphic novels. A part of Crushing Krisis’s Crushing Comics. Last updated April 2016 with titles scheduled for release through December 2016.

he X-Men universe consists of a lot of comic titles as one of Marvel’s most-popular properties and the first after Spider-Man to develop its own set of spin-off series.

Ever since the successive launch of New Mutants, X-Factor, Excalibur, and Wolverine in the 1980s there have never been less than five X-titles in circulation counting both team books and X-Men solo series.

The biggest titles with the lengthiest runs tend to be team books, followed by X-Men solo endeavors from Wolverine, Cable, and Deadpool. However, there are many other X-Men ongoing series that last just a few years and are less collected than their more popular brethren.

This page lists every X-Men ongoing title that occurred in the main Marvel Universe (Earth-616). “Ongoing” means the titles – however brief – were not advertised as limited series (i.e., headlined with “Issue # of N”). The biggest, most-long-running titles will link to their own guides, but titles with a shorter lifespan are explained right here.

If you are looking for limited series and one-shots (of which there are many), see X-Men Limited Series & One-Shots.

Jump to the series you’re seeking: A – B – C – D – E – F – G – H – I – J – K – L – M – N – O – P – Q – R – S – T – U – V – W – X – Y – Z

  • #3 after XM#95
  • #4 after XM#96

  • #6 after XM#97
  • #16 before or after XM#99, as it’s actually the earliest Banshee and Black Tom story and XM#99 is Tom’s debut
  • #7 during XM#99 (though this will spoil White Queen and you may prefer to hold it for XM#129)
  • #8 after XM#100
  • #9 during XM#101
  • #11 as a bridge from XM#103-104 for Storm
  • #15 after XM#106 (this is the earliest Starjammers story)

  • #31 & 40 directly prior to XM#125 for Professor X & Nightcrawler, respectively (after Bizarre Adventures #27 for Nightcrawler; sources conflict and have #39 here as well, but it seems more likely to fit with XM#129m below)
  • #32 during XM#126
  • #33 during XM#127
  • #34 just prior to XM #129 (for Emma Frost – however, this spoils her debut, so you might want to save it for after)

  • #36 directly after XM#129
  • #37-38 after XM #131 for Dazzler (and prior to Amazing Spider-Man #203 and Dazzler #1)

#1-6: Vol. 1 – The Devil Inside (out of print)
#7-12: Vol. 2 – The Winding Way (out of print)

Nightcrawler, Vol. 4 (2014 – 2015)
Originally planned as a third series of X-Men: Legacy, this instead became aChris Claremont written X-Men solo book! It felt very like the middle bit of Claremont’s Excalibur, with much swashbuckling, romance, and kids in danger!

#1-6: Vol. 1
#7-12: Vol. 2: Reborn (issue #7 also in Death of Wolverine Companion
with Wolverines #1-20 and Wolverine & The X-Men (2014) #10-11)

NYX was a foul-mouthed look at what it meant to become a mutant in inner-city NYC. Notably for its adult themes and extremely-late delivery, it was an ongoing but was cancelled after just seven issues.

  • Full Series: NYX: Wannabe (collects NYX #1-7)

#1-18: Not collected. A 1:1 retelling of the original Silver Age X-Men stories, starting from issue #1. Issue #5 of this series is an inserted story, which means #7 of this series aligns to #6 of Uncanny X-Men, and so on until #18 retells Uncanny X-Men #17.

Quicksilver (1997-1998)
This series picks up sometime after the events of Onslaught, and is followed by Magneto Rex #1-3. Includes two crossovers – one with Captain America, Iron Man, and Avengers, the other with Heroes for Hire.

  • #7-12: Rogue, Vol. 2: Forget-Me-Not

Sentinel (2003-2004)
