X-Men Unlimited

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

X-Men Unlimited is the name of several comic book titles published by Marvel Comics.

An anthology title, it features stories that focus less on the main continuity and more on peripheral events occurring with the X-Men characters. The first two series ran from 1993 to 2003 and the Infinity Comics launched in 2021.

Volume 1[edit]

Publication dateJune 1993 – September 2003
No. of issues50
Main character(s)X-Men

This title allowed new and lesser-known writers and artists to write and draw X-Men comics. The comics were also usually self-contained stories; with the exception of a tie-in to the Onslaught crossover. This was particularly unique during the late 1990s when most X-Men titles frequently had story arcs that were several issues long. It ran as a quarterly feature releasing four issues per year until late 2002 when it converted into a monthly title.

Volume 2[edit]

The second series ran from early 2004 to early 2006. The series' final issue was in June 2006. Each issue contained two short self-contained stories; in almost every case each story would focus specifically on one character, giving an in-depth glimpse into their psyche.
