is the name of two unrelated comic book series published by Marvel Comics based on the mutant superhero group The X-Men. There was the 2001 miniseries written by Fabian Nicieza, starring Jean Grey, Iceman, Mystique, Toad, and the Juggernaut. Then there's this ongoing series that began its run on June 10, 2009 and that bears no relation to the earlier title. The current series, written by veteran X-Men author Chris Claremont, is intended as a continuation of his storylines for Uncanny X-Men and X-Men that were never enacted after his resignation from the title following X-Men #3. It runs bi-weekly as a regular title, set in an alternate continuity of the Marvel Universe.

The team continues to track down someone they used to think was a teammate, but has now turned out to be an imposter! Somehow, this is all linked to the death of Wolverine, and a big, shadowy organization known only as "The Consortium." PLUS! A whole new story begins with #6! Comics legends Paul Smith and Terry Austin join the team! As the X-Men attempt to recoup from brutal recent events, they're tested by an unlikely obstacle. Meanwhile, something big has surfaced in South America—an enemy the battered X-Men will have to face head-on! Plus, a Special 70th Anniversary Frame Variant featuring Dave Cockrum's original Storm design newly inked by Terry Austin!
