Following yesterday’s teaser AND the Marvel solicitations, we have more information on the upcoming X-Men ’97 series, which turns out to be a prelude to the animated series.
X-Men ’97 is a four-issue mini-series written by Steve Foxe with art by Salva Espin, who are working in conjunction with the showrunners of the upcoming X-Men ’97 animated series at Disney+.
In this official prelude, discover what Storm, Jubilee, Wolverine and the rest of the beloved ’90s X-Men cast have been up to in the time before their return! Startling revelations here lead directly into the hotly anticipated new series – fans won’t want to miss out!
Here is what Steve Foxe had to say in a statement posted at Marvel.com:
“There’s a very good chance I wouldn’t be writing comics today if not for the impact X-Men: The Animated Series had on me as a kid–heck, the voice actors from the show are still the voices I hear when I read the comics today!” Foxe continued, “Getting to reunite with my X-Men ’92: House of XCII collaborator Salva Espín on this official prelude to X-Men ’97 has felt like a bucket-list project a lifetime in the making, and Beau [DeMayo] and the rest of the ’97 team gave us a fantastic runway to come up with our own original tale that feeds right into what viewers will get to experience in the new season.”
X-Men ’97 #1 arrives on March 27, 2024.
