I’ll update this as we get more of these, if we get more of these – which I sincerely hope we do.
Imagine an entire History of X-Men miniseries done by Eve Ewing, Carmen Carnero, Nolan Woodard, and Joe Sabino? I know i have.
Exceptional X-Men 2

Exceptional X-Men 10
From New Mutants V1 15
Only one comic gave us the Shadow, Flame, and Magik content we demanded, and that was X-Men V6 32.
Exceptional X-Men is my favorite ongoing of the year, so it makes sense all four titles would rank highly for me.
Blood Hunt : Magik, a one shot so good we are getting Magik’s first ongoing because of it. I’m so happy Ashley Allen is the writer for this series.
Uncanny X-Men V6 1, had both Kate Pryde not wanting to talk to Rogue on the phone, AND! a plush Lockheed, and we got a Lockheed reference.
Fall of the House of X 5, we got Kate, Lockheed, and Ms. Marvel on a mission.
X-Men V6 35 / Uncanny X-Men 700, actually, we see Shadow and Flame with Magik here too, but in a silent standing together moment. Not enough hugging.
2024 was the year for Ultimate X-Men, but 2025 will be the year of Ultimate Wolverine.

a fun three part series that I was extremely late to
