Dec 15, 2016 · For this project, as long as the numbering stays consistent and linear, it counts as one run. If the numbering changed, either with a relaunch at #1 or a return to previous numbering, it breaks the run. So with that in mind, here are the 15 longest-running X-Men titles of all time.
- Chris Claremont (Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, Vol. 2, X-Treme X-Men) Simply put, no one else, alive or dead, could have topped this list. Writer Chris Claremont might not have created the X-Men himself, or even the “All-New, All-Different X-Men,” which he inherited from Len Wein.
- Jonathan Hickman (House of X, Powers of X, X-Men, X-Men: Inferno) With few exceptions, for decades, the X-Men were always a group of mutants fighting for a world that fears and hates them.
- Grant Morrison (New X-Men) Grant Morrison took over the X-Men titles in 2001, following a full decade of other writers trying to emulate Chris Claremont’s style.
- Jason Aaron (Wolverine and the X-Men, Vol. 1) These days, Jason Aaron is thought of more for his extended run on Thor, or even his own series, Scalped.
Blue has a steadier line-up, if you don't count Jubilee, but again they quickly just use whatever characters they want for stories. They are all living and working together, despite the whole Blue / Gold designation. So, in order: Trio of Storm, Wolverine, and Colossus.
