The O5 Are Called Upon For An All-New Multiversal Mission In Original X-Men #1

The O5 Are Called Upon For An All-New Multiversal Mission In Original X-Men #1


Jay Cochran - September 18, 2023
Announced earlier today in AiPT Comics’ weekly X-Men Monday column, the original X-Men are back for the franchise’s milestone 60th anniversary! Hitting stands this December, ORIGINAL X-MEN #1 is a super-sized one-shot spotlighting the X-Men’s founding five members and will be crafted by two X-Men titans, writer Christos Gage and artist Greg Land.

In 1963’s monumental X-Men #1, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman and Angel to the world and transformed pop culture as we know it! Six decades later, the original roster is regarded as one of the most legendary super hero lineups in comic book history. This group of young mutant icons were chosen by Professor X to be the foundation of his mutant dream and now, they’ve been plucked from time for a sacred mission across the multiverse by none other than the Phoenix Force! After the cosmic entity restores the team’s lost memories, this bold epic will explore themes that were introduced when Brian Michael Bendis brought the O5 to present day in 2012’s blockbuster hit, All-New X-Men, and will set up a brand-new X-Men series launching next year!

The first and greatest heroes to bear the X-Men name once traveled into their own futures and reset the course of history. Now another multiversal mystery calls them forth. When the dust settles, one hero will remain, trapped in the world as we know it. With shocking surprise guests and heart-pounding twists and turns, Gage and Land kick off a story that will shake the whole MU!

“It’s up to them to find a way to either convince their older selves that they’re making a horrible mistake, or somehow defeat these far more powerful versions of them,” Gage shared with AiPT Comics. “Basically, it’s about your younger, idealistic self coming into conflict with your older, jaded self who’s made compromises and given up dreams in order to survive and do what they think is best, even if that means making hard choices along the way.”

See the team assemble on Ryan Stegman’s cover below and be there when the Original X-Men make mutant history once more this December! For more of Gage’s thoughts on the upcoming saga and an exclusive sneak peek at Land’s interior artwork, head over to AiPTComics.com.

His energy wings were removed and replaced with feathered wings from Mimic

Thanks! I figured they were reverted back to feathers before they were sent back, I just couldn't remember how....old age

Read the 2012 run way back and I remember Angel had different wings by the end (I think they were flame wings). Did the wings revert back to feathers before the OG X-Men memories were wiped and sent back to their original time?

I basically just read all old comics now days. The other weekend I messed around in an antique shop and came across a giant trove of some old 80's comics. X-men and Alpha Flight, Fantastic Four Versus The X-Men and X-Men vs The Avengers. Two and four issue limited series. And they were all great and they told awesome crossover stories with great writing that didn't take an entire year of build up only to have a disappointing ending. Can we get those days back again?

I totally agree...I've been reading old back issues as well, and even stories I didn't like at the time I find to be great compared to what's coming out now. There are a few good new stories (HoX/PoX, Batman White Knight, etc.), but they seem few and far between.

Still...it's the X-Men. How can I not pick it up? (Yes, I AM part of the problem)

I was for a while as well. Anything and everything X-Men was on auto pull at my comic shop. Especially after the attempted Inhumans coup. Then I finally read some of them. When did comics get so terrible and when did writers become so uncreative and then find a way to also become so full of themselves at the same time? I still love the X-Men characters for what they once were and no matter what they do with them now I still remember them as how they were when the stories were good.

Well this sounds awful from the All New X-Men back, to the Phoenix Force and Greg Lang. Going to avoid this like the plague

I was right there with you up until the last statement. Sounds like a rehash of an old story, silly premise, and boring art.

Still...it's the X-Men. How can I not pick it up? (Yes, I AM part of the problem)

Havent picked up an X-Men book since mid 90s. Doesn't look like I'm picking this up either.
