Where are the rest of the X-Men (or Justice Leagues, or…)?
Marvel’s X-Men are listed as X-Men (1st series) until issue #142, after which they went through a little-noticed name change to become officially “The Uncanny X-Men” (where subsequent issues are listed). Justice League America/International/Europe went through numerous such mid-title name changes, and issues are listed under the appropriate titles (although the shifts still make us dizzy). We generally try to smooth such transitions by noting where series are continued in the notes of the last issue of the original run, as well as where they are continued from in the first issue of the renamed series. As a final note: we probably would have continued listing the X-Men under the original series name had Marvel not introduced a second title (also called “X-Men”) which ran simultaneously with the newly renamed “Uncanny X-Men”. Oh, those wacky publishers…
