Professor Xavier and the X-Men Professor Xavier and the X-Men Professor Xavier and the X-Men is an American comic book series featuring the X-Men published by Marvel Comics for 18 issues from November 1995 to April 1997. The comic was part of Marvel's experimental 99 cents comics line, which was meant to attract new, young readers who might have been put off by the then US$1.50/1.95 standard prices for comic books. The line was also known for the series "Untold Tales of Spider-Man", but was ultimately financially unsuccessful, with all of the books being cancelled by 1997. The series focused on stories from the era
Dark X-Men of Charles Xavier's X-Men, to which they had no official connection (much like Osborn's Avengers team was pretending to be the real Avengers). At the 2009 Emerald City ComiCon, writer Matt Fraction confirmed that the Dark X-Men would not be featured in a title of their own, but would rather be featured in "Uncanny X-Men" during the crossover with "Dark Avengers". In an April 16 interview with Comic Book Resources, Fraction explained the whole idea behind the Dark X-Men was to create three teams; Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers, Scott Summers's X-Men, and Emma Frost's new "Dark" X-Men.
