X-Men [Χ-Μεν]

A lively Modern Times-era revival of the core X-Men title, this 27-issue run from 1998 to 2002 is most memorably defined by the kinetic, anime-influenced pencils of Joe Madureira, alongside the dynamic work of Carlos Pacheco and Chris Bachalo. The series matters as a vibrant, youthful bridge between the '90s cartoon boom and the early 2000s, capturing the team in high-stakes adventures that balanced blockbuster action with character-driven drama. It’s a fondly remembered chapter that showcases the X-Men at a peak of stylistic energy.
