So, it appears as though, as best I can tell, the most recent X-Men comic I read was X-Men Volume 3 by Jonathan Hickman, which was collected in (I think} 2020.
One of the blessings and the curses of X-Men comics is that they tend to put out a ton of different comics under a ton of different names with a ton of different variations on who the team members/characters are in each ongoing series, and then shuffle the names and the players, creating some entirely new comic names and players in the process, and some existing book names that don't mean the same thing with different characters in totally different contexts, and start again.
The cool part of that is- hey, you've got choices. If you have money or use a library that stocks the right stuff, you might even have a lot of stuff to read if you want it.
The downside is that I have no freaking clue what the next 3-4 years of titles are (Literally, I don't know the names of the various books) or which characters were/are in them.
Is there a resource that just does something like lists the titles and issue numbers by year and then has a notation for which X-Men team members were featured in each book next to them?
If not, anyone want to offer a suggestion as to what I might like?
My tastes lean towards Original 5 plus Wolverine. If you boiled things down to their most basic level, those six people are the X-Men to me. I'd settle for just Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Grey with basically any two or three random people to fill out the team if that's what's on offer and the entire original five (Which would include Iceman, Angel, and Beast instead of the randos ) plus Wolverine aren't a thing, though. Short of that, I guess Cyclops is my favorite.
I lean towards alternate universe and time travel stories, but I like all sorts of stuff. I wasn't really that into Krakoa, but I could (and can) deal with it. If that's where the important events are happening, I might want to read those books anyhow.
I'm told Beast has gone down an even darker road and is or was starting to resemble his infamous evil alternate universe counterpart. Those stories might interest me.
I like the X-Men as the world's most unique minority group and exploring the complex relationship that gives them with the non-humans when it's done well and in a non-boring fashion. ,
What's out there from the last three years or more?
I'm self-limited to digital titles, either from the library or purchased through Comixology (I guess Amazon now), but I don't think that's an issue with any recent X-Men titles. It's the older books and the lesser known heroes that sometimes don't get digitalized.
