This December the X-Men universe will begin a new chapter with the release of Original X-Men #1. Over the weekend, Marvel has given us a first look at issue one with several new preview pages.
Thanks to the Phoenix Force, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, and Angel will defy space and time once again. Once, this team of X-Men traveled into to the Marvel Universe’s present and met their future selves. Now they will find themselves in another universe entirely. Sent across the Multiverse by the Phoenix Force, the original five X-Men will face a challenge unlike any they’ve seen before—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Original X-Men #1 comes from writer Christos Gage and artist Greg Land, with main cover art coming from the legendary RYAN STEGMAN. In this first look, the X-Men run right into the Phoenix in a mind-bending, kaleidoscopic environment. In one page, Phoenix brings down the fire, revealing multiple versions of herself to the immobilized X-Men. In another, she runs through several memories, including ones where the Phoenix obliterated villains such as Thanos and Ultron. Finally, she speaks directly to the younger Jean before sending them on their way.
What does the Multiverse hold for Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Beast, and Angel? Find out in Original X-Men #1, on sale December 20!
