15. New Mutants

Writer: Vita Ayala

If you weren’t a fan of The New Mutants or wanted to learn more, Vita Ayala’s comic book is for you. They made the members from the classic New Mutants and X-Force roster, highlighted who they were, and combined them with some of the newer mutants of Krakoa. Vita did this by telling two separate stories with completely different teams. The best part is it wasn’t difficult to follow. It was like watching a show with an A and B story.

There were a lot of comic books to debut during the rise of Krakoa, but this was the most underrated.

14. X-Factor (2005–2013)

Writer: Peter David

Most police officers don’t care about crimes that affect mutants. It got worse after House of M. That’s where Jamie Madrox (the Multiple Man) came in. With the help of mutants like Monet St. Croix, Strong Guy, Wolfsbane, Theresa Cassidy, and others by his side, X-Factor became the police and detectives that mutants needed.

X-Factor had more ups and downs than Game of Thrones. People died, came back to life, and one of them even became the King of Hell. This entire series was fun, emotional, and hit on topics like only an X-Men title can. It’s even better because this featured mutants that aren’t as popular.
