X-Men Unlimited

X-Men Unlimited was the title of two comic book series published by Marvel Comics.

Volume 1

The purpose of this title was to run stories that fit between the main X-Men comics. The stories included all characters (heroes and villains) from the X-titles, and was more of a collection of short stories. Like an anthology title, these stories focus less on the main continuity and more on little side things that the X-Men characters go through, like Jubilee in a mall with a crush on a boy or Wolverine going through a particularly rough healing process.

The series ran from 1993 to 2003.

This title allowed lesser known writers and artists to write and draw more distinctive X-men comics, as it usually had new writers and artists for each issue. The comics were also usually self-contained stories; story arcs were always one issue or shorter in length, with the exception of a tie-in to the Onslaught crossover. This was particularly unique during the late 1990s when most X-Men titles frequently had story arcs that were several issues long.

Volume 2

The second series ran from early 2004 to early 2006. The series' final issue was in June 2006. Each issue contained two short self-contained stories; in almost every case each story would focus specifically on one character, giving an in-depth glimpse into their psyche.
