New X-Men is a superhero comic book series published by Marvel Comics within the X-Men franchise. Whereas other X-Men comics mostly dealt with adult mutants, this series concentrated on the lives of young students residing at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. [1]
After the end of Grant Morrison's run on X-Men, vol. 2 (titled New X-Men ) the title was used for a new series, New X-Men: Academy X during the X-Men Reload event. The title was later shortened to simply New X-Men (vol. 2) in 2006 when the new creative team of Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost took over the series from issue #20. [2]
The series also served continuation of New Mutants, vol. 2. Issues #16-19 were tied-in with the House of M event while issues #44-46 with X-Men: Messiah Complex. [1]
After the 2007 crossover X-Men: Messiah Complex, the New X-Men title was cancelled and briefly relaunched as Young X-Men for 12 issues. With the end of Young X-Men the characters were folded onto the main X-Men books, appearing most prominently in the pages of X-Men: Legacy , Uncanny X-Men , Wolverine and the X-Men , and X-Men in late 2000s and 2010s.
New X-Men begins where Grant Morrison's run on the former New X-Men ended. The school is rebuilt and Emma Frost and Cyclops are named the headmasters. They organize the students into several battle squads who train together.
The series focuses chiefly on two rival teams: the New Mutants, whose mentor is Danielle Moonstar, and the Hellions, whose mentor is Emma Frost.
In the aftermath of the Decimation event known as M-Day, the mutant student body in the academy dropped from 182 to 27. At least 45 depowered students were killed and, of the remaining students, Emma Frost picked a select group to train as New X-Men. Throughout the series, these New X-Men were Anole, Dust, Elixir, Gentle, Hellion, Mercury, Pixie, Prodigy, Rockslide, Surge (appointed leader) and X-23. The rest of the students were instructed to remain on school grounds. Some M-day survivors and depowered students either left the mansion or were killed off during villainous attacks by Stryker and his men, or various other enemies.
The Young X-Men series launched as part of the X-Men storyline "Divided We Stand" in April, 2008. Written by Marc Guggenheim and pencilled by Yanick Paquette, it featured a line-up of Blindfold, Dust, Rockslide, Wolf Cub and three new characters: Graymalkin, Ink, and in the second issue, Cipher. The first arc involved the group being formed by Donald Pierce, who thanks to changes inflicted upon him by the Purifiers, impersonates Cyclops as part of an elaborate plot to kill the young mutants who he sees are the last generation of mutants born prior to M-Day. The group are manipulated into fighting members of the New Mutants before Pierce is ultimately exposed. In the end, per Blindfold's prediction at the start of the series, Donald Pierce murders Wolf Cub before being captured by the group and taken into custody by the X-Men.
When the X-Men franchise is relaunched with the relocation of the X-Men to San Francisco following the events in Uncanny X-Men, the characters relocate to California. The series is ultimately canceled with issue #12 and many events of the series (such as Dust being mortally wounded during the team's fight with the New Mutants) would be ignored by later writers.
