X-Men Gold

In 2017, Marvel launched X-Men Gold as a core title of the "ResurrXion" era, returning the team to a classic, heroic status quo. Written by Marc Guggenheim with art by Ken Lashley, Phil Noto, and Ardian Syaf, the series follows Kitty Pryde leading a new strike team of X-Men, including Colossus, Storm, Nightcrawler, and Old Man Logan, as they operate out of the newly rebuilt Xavier Institute. This eight-issue run reestablished the X-Men as Earth's mightiest mutant heroes, blending blockbuster action with soap-opera drama and a focus on the team's public perception. It matters as a deliberate, back-to-basics approach that honored the franchise's legacy while setting the stage for the modern X-line.
