Prepare to revisit the golden age of X-Men comic books with a truly massive collection! The highly anticipated X-Men: Blue and Gold – Mutant Genesis omnibus is set to launch on September 30th for $139.50. This monumental hardcover edition spans over 1,000 pages, capturing some of the most iconic storylines from the 1980s and 1990s, when X-Men reigned supreme as Marvel’s biggest IP.
This incredible volume isn’t just a reprint; it’s a deep dive into X-Men history, collecting a wealth of material. Primarily penned by the legendary Chris Claremont and brought to life by a roster of talented artists, this 1,360-page tome offers a comprehensive look at the Blue and Gold teams. During the ’90s, the X-Men famously split into two distinct squads—Cyclops leading the Blue team and Storm commanding the Gold team—to tackle global threats. Together, they faced formidable foes like Omega Red, Mojo, and their eternal archenemy, Magneto. The omnibus also includes appearances from spin-off teams X-Factor and X-Force, alongside other Marvel Universe heroes like Ghost Rider, showcasing their battles against alien menaces such as the Xenomorph-like Brood.

While the X-Men comics didn’t start as best-sellers, their popularity soared in the ’70s and ’80s, eventually topping Marvel’s sales charts in 1990 and 1991. This was a golden era where creators and artists were the true stars. However, the good times eventually waned with Marvel’s bankruptcy and the exodus of top talent, leading to a turbulent period for the industry.
The X-Men’s influence even stretched to Japan, inspiring a best-selling manga adaptation of the Saturday morning cartoon. Though out of print for decades, Viz Media and Marvel recently launched X-Men: The Manga Remastered. Volume 1, a 512-page paperback, is currently available for $17.30 (originally $25), and Volume 2, also a 512-page paperback, is just $15.30 (originally $30). Together, these two volumes offer over 1,000 pages of X-Men manga, covering the first season of X-Men: The Animated Series, for a combined price of only $32!
Explore the Krakoan Age:
For fans of more recent X-Men history, the X-Men: Age Of Krakoa – Dawn Of X Omnibus Vol. 1 is another major highlight, arriving on September 30th for $139.50 (originally $150). This colossal 1,400-page omnibus delves into the revolutionary Krakoan Age, where mutants established their own nation on the sentient island of Krakoa, reshaping the Marvel Universe’s status quo. Tired of persecution, mutants united to create a sanctuary and assert themselves as a formidable political power. This volume collects:
