It’s the most wonderful time of the year for Marvel Omnibus fans – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every X-Men Team omnibus that does NOT exist (other X-Men themselves) – all of which will appear as options on the 2025 poll.

For the next two weeks, I’ll be covering Marvel’s entire publishing history by mapping missing omnibus volumes to fill in every gap in your Marvel oversize shelf! That’s all leading to the kickoff of the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 13th Annual Secret Ballot on Near Mint Condition on April 28, 2025.

What teams are we talking about? I’m so glad you asked! This post covers Excalibur, Exiles, Generation X, New Mutants, New X-Men – Academy X, Weapon X, X-Factor, X-Force, and all of Krakoa’s non-flagship team books.

If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for a list of books vetted by a gang of the biggest mapping nerds on the internet with explanations from yours truly – keeper of the most-definitive guides to Marvel’s collected editions on the planet.

Or, if you don’t care about omnibuses, just use this post to learn about Marvel’s history and find some great comics to read!

Some of the mapping and research in this post was conducted by JM21, a major CK supporter and a massive, massive X-Men fan! JM21 is also a supporter of the UK charity Men Walking & Talking, which helps to create safe space for men to discuss their mental health and wellness.

X-Men Team Titles Omnibus Mapping for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot

April 3, 2024 by krisis

Until April 5, I’ll be loosely mapping missing and most-wanted Marvel omnibus volumes every day! It’s finally time, y’all… time to MAP MY X. This post offers maps for team X-Men series that were NOT “flagship” books with “X-Men” in the title – like New Mutants, X-Factor, X-Force, Generation X, and more.

This post explains titles and potential X-Men Omnibus Mapping for entries on the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 12th Annual Secret Ballot. You can vote right now (until 5 April 2024 @ midnight US ET) or watch our mega-length announcement stream reviewing every single voting option.

This post covers X-Team titles from New Mutants, Excalibur, X-Factor, X-Force, Generation X, Exiles, Academy X, Weapon X, & Marauders.

If you’re not sure of what to vote for, stick around for my explanations. Or, if you’ve already voted, learn why the team behind the poll decided on these books and titles – including some of my mistakes and regrets as one of the editors of the options on the final poll.

Or… just find some great comics to read!

Remember: These mappings are just my suggestion of how Marvel could assemble these books. They are meant to help you decide on your votes and build your personal reading list, but your vote on the poll is NOT an endorsement of my specific map. It’s a vote in favor of Marvel creating a book with that title or covering that period.

Sabretooth, Victor Creed – The Definitive Reading Order and Collecting Guide

Weapon X & Weapon Plus – The Definitive Reading Order and Collecting Guide

When I started filling in the gaps in my X-Men collection in 2010, I realized that there was a lot of Sabretooth comics and a lot I didn’t know about Victor Creed.

I fondly recalled his X-Men debut in Mutant Massacre, I was around for his brief rehabilitation before Onslaught, and I was reading him in a modern team-up with the X-Men at the start of Mike Carey’s run, but I was missing a lot of connective tissue in between.
