10 Comics To Make Haters Love Comics Again

House of X and Powers of X naturally belong together on any list of this kind, as they're intertwining stories penned by writing god Johnathan Hickman, who somehow managed to up his already impressive abilities in 2019, as these comics may be his best work to date.

This is because they masterfully rewrite the history of the X-Men, in a collection of twist and turns that make the plot feel like the newest and greatest action block-buster - only with sweet mutant powers instead of guns.

For those turned off from the X-Men because of the incredibly elaborate reading history required to understand any given series, this provides the perfect opportunity, as you need to have read precisely zero comics in order to get on board and be provided with a concise set up for how both the superhero team and the mutant community in general work in this revamped universe.

Even for those who don't fancy picking up issues of Wolverine or any other follow on X-Men title, it's well worth a read, as it both perfectly establishes the 'new world' of the X-Men, and also sets the bar on the standard of comic writing.
