X-Men by Chris Claremont – Definitive Collecting Guide to Uncanny X-Men #94-280

The definitive issue-by-issue comic book collecting guide and trade reading order for the original run of Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont comic books in omnibus, hardcover, and trade paperback collections. Part of Crushing Krisis’s Crushing Comics. Last updated February 2023 with titles scheduled for release through August 2023.

Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont (1975 – 1991)

X-Men did not officially become Uncanny X-Men until issue #142. However, the cover featured the “Uncanny” adjective starting with #114. Ultimately, many fans and comics resources refer to the entire relaunch from issue #94 forward as Uncanny X-Men – a convention Marvel upholds with the titling of their Marvel Masterworks reprints.

Giant-Size X-Men (1975) #1 marks the start of X-Men by Chris Claremont, even though he did not write this issue.This 16-year period of X-Men by Chris Claremont is indisputable as the most classic era of X-Men, as well as generally considered to be one of the best runs of superhero comics of all time. The vast majority of thematic material later expressed in other forms of X-Men media including films, games, and toys originated in this run.

It all begins in 1975 with Len Wein and Dave Cockrum on Giant Size X-Men, which brought back Wolverine from a single appearance in Incredible Hulk and introduced a trio of characters that have become anchors of the franchise: Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler. It also brought Banshee and Sunspot back into the X-Men cast from their earlier Silver Age appearances, plus introduced Krakoa – the mutant island!

Chris Claremont took over writing duties from Len Wein just a few issues later. Under his pen, the trio of Wolverine, Storm, and Colossus would persist throughout a historic 16-year run that saw X-Men go from a marginal book returning from cancellation to the most-popular comic book franchise in America.

Along the way Claremont and a who’s who of artist collaborators steered the title through many signature foes and historic plots that have influenced movies, books, games, and toys for decades.

The first half of Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont – alongside Dave Cockrum, John Byrne, and John Romita Jr. – features a core of the classic Giant Size team, plus Kitty Pryde, under the leadership of Cyclops and Professor Xavier.

It included classic storylines like Proteus, The Dark Phoenix Saga, Days of Future Past, The Brood Saga, and God Loves Man Kills. Claremont and his collaborators introduced characters including Moira MacTaggert, Lilandra and the Shi’ar Empire, Arcade, Emma Frost and the Hellfire Club, Dazzler, Kitty Pryde, Rachel Summers, Callisto, Caliban, Forge, Selene, and many more – including importing Mystique and Deathbird from his run on Ms. Marvel! Plus, it saw him launch New Mutants and begin Magneto’s heroic turn.

The latter half of Chris Claremont’s landmark run on Uncanny X-Men  – with Romita Jr., Marc Silvestri, & Jim Lee – begins with Storm usurping leadership of the team from Cyclops, who leaves the team for X-Factor. That means none of the original five X-Men star in this period of the book. Storm, Wolverine, and Colossus have seniority, and the team features some lesser-known characters such as Longshot, Dazzler, and original-body Psylocke, while introducing Mister Sinister, Jubilee, assassin-body Psylocke, and Gambit – plus, bringing back Sabretooth from his Bronze Age run on Iron Fist. And, it featured Magneto’s slide back to villainy.

That period bears a distinctly more dark and rebellious tone, with 21 issues passing with no X-Men team in existence! It also introduces the idea of both X-book and Marvel-wide crossovers with Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, Inferno, and X-Tinction Agenda.

This guide is not a complete reading order that follows the team through all of their various guest appearances! Instead, this guide focuses only on the issues of the Chris Claremont run and issues routinely collected alongside them. For a complete X-Men reading order for this period, start with The Definitive X-Men Reading Order: Second Genesis.

This is Marvel’s most-collected run of comic books, which is both a blessing and a source of great confusion. There are a few specific formats of books that cover large portions of this title, and I’ll cover those first – Essentials, Epics, Masterworks, and Omnibuses. Or, you can read the run in its entirety on Marvel Unlimited: Main Title, Annuals

The Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont Omnibus Line

Omnibus editions are deluxe, oversized, hardcover reprints in full color with dust jackets. They’re the most high-end reprint offering from Marvel at the moment – although, they’re a little unwieldy to hold on your lap!

This sequential “Uncanny X-Men Omnibus” line follows the mapping of Marvel Masterworks volumes, collecting only the minimum amount of crossover issues required from other X-books and elsewhere in the Marvel line. One key difference between this line and the Line-Wide omnibuses in the next section is that it will not omit any of the late-80s event Annuals.X-Men by Chris Claremont in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #137

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 1
(2006 oversize hardcover (glued binding), ISBN 978-0785121015 / 2007 oversize hardcover (sewn binding), ISBN ?? /  2013 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-0785185697 / 2016 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302900830 / 2020 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302924805 / digital)
Collects Giant-Sized X-Men (1975) and X-Men (1963) #94-131 & Annual 3. Note that the first printing of this omnibus had a glued binding, which is not desirable (and would be phased out of all true omnibus books a few years later, though it would continue in newly-released event oversize hardcovers).

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 2
(2014 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-0785185727 / 2016 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302901660 / 2020 oversize hardcover, ISBN 978-1302926342 / digital)

Collects backup stories and expanded story pages from Classic X-Men (1986) #1-44 (which reprinted Giant-Sized X-Men (1975) and (Uncanny) X-Men (1963) #94-138), plus material from Marvel Fanfare (1982) #60. The majority of this material is scripted by Chris Claremont himself, and represents canonical expansions of his early run on the title.

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus, Vol. 3

Secret Wars II occurs throughout the Volume 5 omnibus.

This point in the Uncanny X-Men Omnibus line matches perfectly with the next omnibus in the Line-Wide omnibus line, which is the Mutant Massacre omnibus, below. However, Marvel has confirmed that this sequential Uncanny X-Men Omnibus line will continue to Volume 6 and beyond.

Line-Wide Omnibuses & Oversize Hardcovers

These omnibuses and oversize hardcovers offer comprehensive coverage of the X-Men line across multiple titles – covering key events and the issues that surround them as the books increasingly interconnected with each other.X-Men by Chris Claremont in Uncanny X-Men (1963) #227

An early trade paperback from 1989 contained on the core story from #141-142.

Uncanny X-Men #143 – 198: The New Mutants (1981 – 1985)

This era of Uncanny X-Men was penned entirely by Chris Claremont, with significant runs from artists Dave Cockrum, Paul Smith, and John Romita, Jr.

In the period after the Dark Phoenix Saga, Cyclops as the only original X-Man left on the team. It adds Shadowcat and, later, Rogue (in issue #171) to the roster. Angel is a member briefly at the beginning of this era, while Forge and Rachel Summers begin to appear late in the run.

At this point X-Men was well-established and widely-read enough that it had been spun off to a single companion book written by Chris Claremont, New Mutants, as of issue #167. While the books had a tight continuity with each other, they only directly crossed over in Annuals – which means this era represents the end of being able to read Uncanny as a “standalone” X-Men series.

After being labeled as fugitives by the government the X-Men relocate to the Australian outback and are rendered invisible to electronic surveillance equipment.

The unraveling of the team continues until it is effectively disbanded by issue #251, leaving Wolverine crucified, Psylocke in a new body, Polaris possessed, and Storm completely MIA.

Issue #248 features the X-Men debut of Jim Lee, who would not only transform the way each character looked, but would also ultimately lead to the addition of the adjectiveless X-title and the departure of Chris Claremont.

Uncanny X-Men #265-280 & X-Men #1-3: X-Tinction & Reunification

Begins in November 1990 with the X-Tinction Agenda crossover, continuing in New Mutants #95 and X-Factor #60. Elsewhere, it is parallel to Excalibur #31 and Wolverine #33.

This final era of Claremont’s run begins with one of his last major acts of creation – the debut of Gambit, as he rescues an adolescent Storm from The Nanny. That’s followed by a pair of prohibitive classic single issues – #268, featuring a WWII team up of Captain America, Black Widow, and Wolverine, and #269, featuring the reappearance of Rogue as she fights for her life against the specter of her absorbed Carol Danvers personality.

The X-Tinction Agenda brings all of the X-characters back together in a single location along with their colleagues in New Mutants and X-Factor. It marks the first time that more than two X-books held a direct, sequential cross-over with each other where every issue was essential to the continuing story.

Some would argue this was the beginning of a dark, overly-commercialized age for comics in the 1990s.

On the plus side, the crossover effectively reformed the team in the short term with a remarkable cast of heavy-hitters like Storm, Gambit, Wolverine, and Psylocke. It also sets up a massive restructuring that would see the transformation of New Mutants to X-Force and the introduction of an all-new X-Factor – plus, the launch of the adjectiveless X-Men title in 1991.

This brief span marks the end of Chris Claremont’s unprecedented run on Uncanny X-Men (he stuck around for the first three issues of X-Men, Vol. 2). It’s some of Jim Lee’s most remarkable X-book art, including his 1991 reimaginings of everyone’s costumes that would carry through to many forms of 90s media.

    There is a new Mutant Massacre Omnibus which has the following:

    COLLECTING: UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) #210-219; X-MEN ANNUAL (1970) #11; X-FACTOR (1986) #9-17, X-FACTOR ANNUAL #2; NEW MUTANTS (1983) #46; THOR (1966) #373-374, #377-378; POWER PACK (1984) #27; DAREDEVIL (1964) #238; FANTASTIC FOUR VS. THE X-MEN #1-4; X-MEN VS. THE AVENGERS #1-4

    That should probably replace your current suggestion
