The “X-Men '97” trailer, led by producer Larry Houston, shows a deep love for the original comics — a hint that enthusiastic fans should dive into them before viewing.
We recommend starting with X-Men '92: House of XCII,” a five-issue series of Krakoa events in the “X-Men” cartoon world of the '90s, introducing fresh problems for the characters.
Get into the “Rogue & Gambit/Mr. and Mrs. X” series, a blend of romance and action. “The Trial of Magneto (Uncanny X-Men #200)” reflects Magneto’s humanity and ties to Professor X.
Set during the “New Mutants” era, “Magneto (2023)” is a four-issue series that delves into Magneto's complexities, providing insights into his role as a teacher.
Finally, fans should explore “Inferno.” It is a 1988-1989 crossover event where the X-Men confront the hordes of Hell, delivering a thrilling and visually captivating storyline.
