X-Men Books in Order

Gischler's X-Men run opens by steering the team straight into horror. The best-known part is Curse of the Mutants, where a blood attack in San Francisco kicks off a war with vampires and pulls Dracula's son Xarus, Blade, and Jubilee into the center of the story.

That first arc sets the tone. These books treat the X-Men as superheroes, of course, but they also lean hard into siege-story pressure. The team is asked to protect a community, manage panic, and keep functioning while one disaster bleeds into the next.

Jubilee matters a lot in this run. The vampire storyline is not just background spectacle. It leaves a mark, and the fallout carries forward even after the biggest fights end. That gives the later collections more continuity than a quick glance at the titles might suggest.

Beyond the vampire material, the series branches into team-ups, bigger Marvel crossover energy, and other threats that keep the pressure on. The mood shifts, but the basic pattern stays the same: the X-Men are a battered group trying to hold together while the world throws one ugly problem after another at them.

So if you want mutant books with a strong horror streak, plenty of motion, and a run that moves from event story into aftermath, this is a useful corner of the X-Men shelf.
