DetailsX-Men #9
For #XMenMonday, we take a look at the next book in the X-men line: X-Men #9, featuring Unus the Untouchable…never heard of him? Well no worries. He’s pointless, but the story isn’t! Check out what started the X-Men on the road to being a metaphor for the outcast!
DetailsMYTHOS: X-Men #1
There is no getting around it, Mythos: X-Men #1 (Jenkins, Rivera, Caramagna) is frustratingly subpar. There just isn’t much to be gained aside from some enjoyable visuals that can’t be better substantiated by going back to the 1963 classic #1 issue this story is based on.
DetailsJoin us this #XMenMonday for a confessional reflection on LGBT+ romance representation and subtext in X-Men comics. As the story of the children of the atom calls for queer kids everywhere, how much is it giving back to them? #CWPride
DetailsX-Men #4-7
Welcome back for #XMenMonday as we tackle the beginnings of the BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS and see the first crossover with the Marvel Universe! Let us know your thoughts about these early issues!
DetailsMarvel Graphic Novel #5: God Loves, Man Kills

DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #67
Astonishing X-Men (2004) #67 (Liu, Pinna) If you ever wished you were part of the X-Men, or write X-Men fanfic, or were driven to X-Men as a child, this issue will captivate you and possibly make you cry. #XMenMonday
DetailsX-Men (1963) #1-3
For #XMenMonday, it’s time to return to where it all started in the 1960’s, to the start of the boom for Marvel Comics! From the first appearance of Magneto, to the creepy love Xavier had for Jean, see how it began in X-Men #1-3 (Lee, Kirby, Reinman, Rosen)!
DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #66
In Astonishing X-Men (2004) #66 (Liu, Pinna), the team shines a light on marginalized communities. This issue shows how our characters heal, enjoy, make community, in the face of traumatizing experiences, with a B-Side-movie-like subplot that surrounds it.
DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #62-65
Astonishing X-Men (2004) #62-65 (Liu, Walta): Bobby Drake has always been a complicated case. Join Comic Watch today to travel to 2013 and take a look at a queer Bobby issue, 2 years before his coming out. It’s complicated, it’s confusing, it’s sometimes not so good, but what it ultimately tells us about storytelling and subtext is precious.
DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #57-58
(Liu, Walta, Ruiz) Astounding and detailed art that rounds up an engaging story about the rejection of otherness and final recognition and closeness. We have a lot to admire, enjoy and learn from these two issues.
