13. House of M

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis

House of M changed the course of mutant history forever. Decades from now, the Scarlet Witch saying “No more mutants” will still be relevant. There are still depowered and dead mutants because of her. It’s doubtful that all of them will return or regain their abilities.

Wanda is still making up for the things she’s done. For example, she created a kind of waiting room for mutants who died before Xavier’s Cerebro helmet. Nevertheless, there are still people who won’t forgive her. Especially since she caused mutants of all ages to see their loved ones die.

12. New X-Men

Writer: Christopher Yost, Craig Kyle

After House of M, the mutant race was down to its last ten percent. Most Marvel Comics readers focused on how this hurt the popular mutants. Meanwhile, the young and newer mutants were hit the hardest. They didn’t just lose their friends leaving the school. Reverend Stryker had them killed as they helplessly watched.

Warning: New Mutants will hit you in the heart every issue and remind you what it’s like to be a teenager. All of the hormones and different personalities in one place are one thing. Imagine all of that added to helping save the world and protecting the people you love.

You’ll also enjoy how the characters evolve along the way. You may think the characters are one thing, but then they’ll completely show you a different side. Sometimes it’s a beautiful thing to see how goofy or stubborn characters become loving. Other times it may disappoint you when they do things they normally wouldn’t.. Either way, if you enjoy mutants or good storytelling, read this series.
