 New X-Men - Definition 

New X-Men is a superhero comic book published by Marvel Comics, a spinoff of the hugely popular X-Men franchise.

Volume One

New X-Men, formerly known as X-Men volume 2, changed its name when writer Grant Morrison stepped in with issue #114. Morrison's run really lived up to the "new" in the name, adding many fresh and original ideas to his X-Men run, and placing the team of Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Grey, Beast, Emma Frost and Xorn into the role of teachers. Morrison's run ended at issue 154, after which Chuck Austen took over for two issues. As of issue 157, the "New" adjective was dropped from the title for the "X-Men Reload" event, reverting back to X-Men volume 2.

X-Men is now written by Peter Milligan, a colleague of Morrison's. Milligan is the former writer of X-Statix, a rather off-beat team of X-Men.

Volume Two

New X-Men (also New X-Men: Academy X), formerly known as New Mutants volume 2, was launched during the "X-Men Reload" event. It resumes directly where the most recent New Mutants series ending, with the same writers, artists and cast of characters.
