The early ’90s is arguably the peak of X-Men comic books, as this was when the series was setting new sales records and establishing itself as Marvel’s biggest IP. Anyone looking to revisit this age of blockbuster sales and extreme storylines can preorder the upcoming X-Men: Blue and Gold – Mutant Genesis, which launches for $139.50 on September 30. This is a massive hardcover omnibus that collects over 1,000 pages of iconic X-Men storylines from the 1980s and 1990s. While X-Men comics weren’t initially best-sellers, the team did see a resurgence in the ’70s and a steady growth in popularity throughout the ’80s, culminating in their rise to the top at Marvel Comics. The flagship series for the publisher, the comic books would break several sales records in 1990 and 1991 during a time when comic book creators and artists were the main selling point behind a series. X-Men continued to be popular throughout the decade, but with Marvel facing bankruptcy during that turbulent period, several comic book superstars leaving to form their own publishing company, and the comic book bubble burst, the good times sadly came to an end for a few years. The influence of the series even made its way to Japan, as the Saturday morning cartoon show was adapted into a best-selling manga. This has been out of print for decades, but earlier this year, Viz Media and Marvel launched X-Men: The Manga Remastered. The first paperback volume is on sale for $17.30 (was $25) and the second volume is just $15.30 (was $30). Combined, that’s over 1,000 pages of X-Men manga for just $32, covering the first season of X-Men: The Animated Series.
