New X-Men was an
American comic book ongoing series, written by
Grant Morrison and featuring the
mutant superhero team, the
X-Men. It was a retitling of the ongoing then-second volume of the main series, and shares the series' numbering, as opposed to creating a different ongoing series with a new number one issue. During a revamp of the entire
X-Men franchise, newly appointed
Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief
Joe Quesada spoke of his idea for flagship titles like
X-Men to regain some of their "former glory," as well as regaining critical acclaim.
