In 1991, Marvel launched a “mutant genesis,” completely transforming its many mutant super-hero groups. The New Mutants would become X-Force, And the Uncanny X-Men would split into two teams, each featured in its own title.

This second X-Men series stars the new team consisting of Cyclops, Wolverine, Gambit, Psylocke, Rogue, and the Beast. Although the other X-Men still appear regularly, Marvel’s idea was to concentrate this title on a smaller team in order to better craft the storylines. With early issues drawn and plotted by the legendary Jim Lee, this series makes that idea come alive.

Issue #1 of this “adjectiveless” X-Men title was launched in a storm of publicity, was a 48-page issue, and sported five different covers.  Taken together, it sold in excess of seven million copies, making it the best-selling comic of all time. 

This listing includes five copies of X-MEN #1 (one each of all five variant covers), plus #2-14, 16, 20-24, 28-30, 33, and 36. 

Notes: 

• X-Men #4 features the first appearance of Omega Red  
• X-Men #5 features the first appearance of Maverick
• X-Men #14 and 16 come with trading cards
