The Original X-Men Are Coming Back, but Only One Is Staying
The X-Men turn 60 this year, and Marvel is celebrating in style by killing a bunch of them in a horrifying terrorist attack, kickstarting the downfall of an age of Mutant progress, and now by returning to an idea they first did a decade ago. Sounds about right for the heroes forever fighting for a world that hates and fears them.
Today Marvel confirmed that writer Christos Gage and artist Greg Land will team up on The Original X-Men, a new one-shot comic that will see Charles Xavier’s original ‘60s team—Iceman, Cyclops, Angel, Beast (pre-fur, pre-warcrimes), and Jean Grey/Marvel Girl—plucked from time by the Phoenix Force itself for a multiversal adventure. Restoring the memories they lost when they were returned from the present to their own time after adventuring alongside their future selves and the rest of the Marvel universe in the pages of Brian Michael Bendis’ All New X-Men in 2012, the one-shot will set up a new ongoing X-Men title set to debut in 2024—which will see one of the five X-Men “trapped” in the modern Marvel world once again while their allies are sent back to their home timeline.
