Hey
I was reading a copy of Iceman #1 from 1984 yesterday and it got me thinking as to how many x-men characters have had their own series, either mini or ongoing?
The obvious ones are:
Wolverine (about 100 minis)
Gambit
Rogue
Emma Frost
Mystique
Nightcrawler (didnt he have a mini too? if so whats it about?)
Who else?
Thanks

There was also the Maverick series.
And the Black Knight/Exodus one-shot.
And the Storm & Illyana LS, which was essentially a Magik series.

he had 2 actually. i haven't read either.
Kurt's first mini was written and drawn by Dave Cockrum so at least the elf looked and acted like he was supposed to. Entertaining but lightweight story in which Kitty accidently constructs an interdimensional portal in the Danger Room(don't ask!) and Kurt ends up hopping between alternate fantasy worlds. At one point he even meets Pirate Kitty from Kitty's Fairy Tale! Don't recall the second, except it took place during his brief stint as a priest.
Kitty also appeared in X-Men: True Friends, co-starring Rachel Summers. The two girls time-travel to London during the Blitz, meet Logan while he was still a Canadian military officer and fight the Shadow King. Also, Kitty falls for a dashing RAF officer(a member of Moira's family tree, IIRC) and gives serious consideration to killing Hitler before he could impliment his 'Final Solution'.

Ok, well I found an old copy of #3 of the old 80s Nightcrawler series, and it was lots of fun.
So what were the fun series? I mean like the Iceman and Nightcrawler ones?
And what was the Beast one about?

Brian Vaughan's Chamber series is the only required reading for any writer who is going to use Chamber in the books(maybe along with the first few issues of Gen X)...seriously, its amazing how everything you need to know about the character is in those sole 4 issues. I wish Brian could give us another one...

thx for the news...hope we get some decent artwork, may be a one-shot story or few pages of new stuff would be good too...i haven't hung out with firestar since the late 80s. Before she hooked up with Justice and got sucked into the world of A. Avengers

Jubilee's solo series was the lowest selling X-book ever. That's because they made it a Marvel Age book. And what about that X-Men/Power Pack thing? that sold like 7k.
