New X Men Timeline?

[kevin00]

Is anybody here able to give me a timeline of the TPB's for the new X men? I can't get comics where I live so I order TPB's from Amazon but they din't always have the volume number listed, I have no idea when the title became Academy X or switched back. Thanks in advance.


Also is Ultimate X men worth reading?

New X-Men Vol. 1: E is for Extinction
New X-Men Vol. 2: Imperial
New X-Men Vol. 3: New Worlds
New X-Men Vol. 4: Riot at Xavier's
New X-Men Vol. 5: Assault on Weapon Plus
New X-Men Vol. 6: Planet X
New X-Men Vol. 7: Here Comes Tomorrow


im not sure when it was called Academy X. im pretty sure it was within the first 4 though. i reccomend you buy Volume 1 of ultimate x men if youre interested in that and see how you like it before you get a subscription ore anything.

It's when the New X-Men title switched to X-Men and the New Mutants title switched to New X-Men: Academy X

[FunBobPants]

i know that. i mean i dont know which TPB its in

so these are the only 7 volumes os new x men including academy x? I thought there would've been a house of M arc.

[FunBobPants]

look for it yourself! :mad:

There's no House of M arc. House of M came around long after the end of New X-Men.

New X-Men itself never switched to Academy X...if anything, the storylines from New X-Men continue in Astonishing X-Men. The New X-Men: Academy X series features characters and storylines continued from the New Mutants series.

[FunBobPants]

no, there is a house of M tpb.

[BrianWilly]

Yeah, but it has nothing to do with Grant Morrison's New X-Men.

Kevin (love the name) if you ask me, ultimate x-men is VERY worth reading.

[kevin00]

so characters like wither, elixer, surge, & hellion never made an apperance before academy x #1?

[FunBobPants]

no. all of those first appeared at the begginning of the second series of New Mutants

[kevin00]

ok thanks, how many volumes of New Mutants TPB's were there?
and how many volumes of Academy X were there? They aren't listed by any number on amazon. thanks again everybody

[usagicassidy]

Yeah, but it has nothing to do with Grant Morrison's New X-Men.


No one said that the New X-Men he was talking about was Morrisons.

So, the 'New X-Men: Academy X' TPBs, in order, are:
Vol 1: Choosing Sides
Vol 2: Haunted
Vol 3: X-Posed
House of M: New X-Men
Childhood's End: Vol 1

Okay, let's clear up a few things, shall we?

The comic titled X-Men changed its name to New X-Men. The main characters were Cyclops, Wolverine, Emma, Jean, Beast, and Xavier. That comic has 7 volumes:
Vol. 1: E is for Extinction
Vol. 2: Imperial
Vol. 3: New Worlds
Vol. 4: Riot at Xavier's
Vol. 5: Assault on Weapon Plus
Vol. 6: Planet X
Vol. 7: Here Comes Tomorrow
After volume 7, the comic switched its name back to X-Men. However, the main characters of New X-Men continued their story in the pages of Astonishing X-Men.


Now, then...

While those 7 volumes of New X-Men were running, there was a comic all about the students titled New Mutants that ran for about 13 issues. When New X-Men changed its name back to X-Men, New Mutants changed its name to New X-Men: Academy X, and it continued to follow the students. New X-Men: Academy X had a House of M crossover. Acadamy X had 4 volumes:
Vol. 1: Chosing Sides
Vol. 2: Haunted
Vol. 3: X-Posed
Vol. 4: House of M

Recently, New X-Men: Academy X changed its name to New X-Men, but the trade collections seem to be titled New X-Men: Childhood's End to avoid confusion.



This is much like how Austen's run on Uncanny is only titled Uncanny X-Men in the trades, but Claremont's recent run on Uncanny is called Uncanny X-Men: The New Age.
