Startling revelations here lead directly into the hotly anticipated new series, discover what Storm, Jubilee, Wolverine, and the rest of the X-Men have been up to in the time before their return.

“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,” writer Steve Foxe said. “Heck, the voice actors from the show are still the voices I hear when I read the comics today! 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” is expected to hit Disney+ in early 2024. We hope they keep that absolute banger classic theme song.
