X-Men ‘97 is now three episodes deep onDisneyPlus, and so far it’shitting the markfor fans while also packing intons of references to comics and the classic X-Men animated series. But with only one episode dropping each week (no binge watching just yet), you may find yourself craving more of the ’90s X-Men revival vibes.
Fortunately, as of March 27,Marvel Comicshas you covered with X-Men ‘97 #1, the first issue of a new limited series that bridges the gap between the end of the original animated series and the start of X-Men ‘97.
Written by Steve Foxe with art by Salva Espin and color artist Matt Milla, and letters by Joe Sabino, X-Men ‘97 #1 doesn’t hesitate to answer many of the questions fans may have about how things have changed for the team, from the start of Jean Grey/Madelyne Pryor’s pregnancy all the way up to Storm’s new haircut.
The issue also checks in with Mister Sinister and his Nasty Boys, setting the stage for a big fight between the X-Men and Sinister’s other team of evil mutants, the Marauders, including Wolverine’s arch enemy Sabretooth.
X-Men ‘97 #1 is on sale now, with #2 of the four issue limited series releasing on April 10.
