List of X-Men limited series and one-shots

The X-Men are a group of superheroes in the Marvel Comics universe. The X-Men first appeared in the self-titled X-Men comic, cover-dated September 1963. Due to the X-Men's immense popularity, Marvel has launched dozens of spin-off limited series.

Like Uncanny X-Men, most X-books feature mutants, humans born with extraordinary powers due to a genetic mutation. Some X-books feature mutant superhero teams while others feature solo adventures of characters who became popular in Uncanny X-Men or another X-book. Occasionally, X-books use mutants as a metaphor for racial, religious and other minorities oppressed by society.

For the purpose of this list, "X-Men miniseries" will be defined by the following criteria:

  • The series was not meant to continue indefinitely. For ongoing titles, see List of X-Men comics.
  • One-shot issues are included ("minus one" issues do not count).
  • Graphic novels with original content are included. Reprints are not.
  • The series featured mostly characters associated with and/or concepts originating in Uncanny X-Men or another X-book; thus The Defenders and The Champions, which featured both X-Men-related and non-X-Men-related characters will not be counted, and neither will all series which occasionally featured X-Men characters, such as Marvel Comics Presents, Marvel Team-Up and What If?, though some relevant issues of those series may be included.
