The present New X-Men title used to be called Academy X. Morrison's New X-Men is the present "adjective-less" X-Men, the title that started in the 1990s with the Claremont/Lee run. In the '90s the title was X-Men; Morrison re-named the title New X-Men; soon after Morrison left, the "New" was dropped. The re-naming inspired the annoying trend of putting "New" in every title: New Avengers, New Excalibur, New Thunderbolts...Good thing they stopped before New Warriors returned. Wow, that sure cleared things up. While there is an ongoing New X-Men series, this is not the New X-Men in this review. The present New X-Men title used to be called Academy X.
