The X-Men became Marvel’s most fruitful concept beginning in the 1980s. During the decade of excess, creators like Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson created their own little corner of the Marvel Universe, populating it with heroes, villains, and supporting characters of all kinds. This continued into the 1990s, when the number of X-Men book ballooned, and creators debuted new characters all the time. However, there were very few solo books during these boom decades.Wolverine and Cable always had their own books, and other characters would get miniseries, but the X-Men didn’t really seem to create many solo stars. Fast forward to the Krakoa Era and this state of affairs is ongoing. Wolverine (Vol. 7) is the only ongoing solo book, since Cable failed rather quickly. Recently, Captain Britain got a miniseries, and Rogue & Gambit focused on the fan-favorite couple. With Fall of X, books like Uncanny Spider-Man, Jean Grey, and Astonishing Iceman have debuted as miniseries, along with multiple throwback miniseries. However, there have been no solo ongoings. This is a travesty, especially when the X-Men have many characters who could easily command successful ongoing titles.There are a lot of X-Men books right now, but that’s not really all that uncommon. This started in the 1980s. Uncanny X-Men was a huge hit, and soon New Mutants would debut as a graphic novel before getting its own ongoing. However, before the New Mutants graphic novel dropped, another X-Men related book came out — 1982’s Wolverine. This was the first solo adventure of any X-Men. Marvel decided to test the waters, putting the X-Men’s most popular character in his own four issue miniseries by the blockbuster team of Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. This first X-Men solo project was a hit, and soon more solo miniseries dropped.RELATED: Apocalypse Is Living Up To The Greek Translation Of His NameRELATED: One of the X-Men’s First Members Has Turned Evil – Again
