When it comes to keeping up with a particular corner of the Marvel universe, the X-Men are arguably the most difficult to stay on top of, with the likes of X-23, Domino, Cable, Logan (though not for long, unfortunately), Iceman, the Blue and Gold teams as well as, obviously, Red (just to name a few), you'd be hard pressed to read every X-title each month.

Though if you're sticking to just a few mutant books, or are looking to get into them, then Tom Taylor's X-Men: Red is a brilliant place to start, with many fan favourite characters, ranging from Jean Grey to Nightcrawler, featuring as the stars of the comic.

This group is the X-Men at their best, the team pursuing Xavier's original goal of wiping out the hate between mutants and humans, providing a fantastically modern take on the timeless message of equality that the team represents.
