Collecting X-Men limited series & one-shots as Graphic Novels

The definitive, chronological, and up-to-date guide on collecting X-Men limited series and one-shot comic books via omnibuses, hardcovers, and trade paperback graphic novels. A part of Crushing Krisis’s Collecting X-Men: A Definitive Guide. Last updated July 2016 with titles scheduled for release through April 2017.

In the early 1980’s Marvel found renewed success with comic fans, in no small part due to a surging X-Men title helmed by Chris Claremont.

With the trend 60s and 70s anthology titles out of vogue, Marvel tried a new approach to promote their most popular characters to a growing audience – releasing limited series telling finite stories.

Some of the earliest characters to receive the limited series treatment were Scarlet Witch and Wolverine, but soon the trend expanded to include seemingly any and every character. Some of the series were collected in trade paperbacks at the time, and are now being revitalized in Marvel Premiere Classics hardcover editions.

In the 90s the comics speculating trend helped limited series and one-shots balloon out of control – each first issue bore a “Collector’s Item!” burst! These editions are under-collected, just as their stories are frequently ignored by the canon of current X-Men authors.

Marvel’s tactic changed in the 2000s,  using limited series to showcase hot creators and to test the waters for possible ongoing series. It seems that the more targeted approach is yielding more collections!

Note: Comic titles prefaced with “X-Men:” are listed alphabetically by the word that follows, i.e., “X-Men: Kingbreaker” is alphabetized under K.
