First Look: ALL-NEW X-MEN #1

Check out these slick preview pages for the new X-title launching in November.

As many of you are well aware, the upcoming Marvel NOW! initiative is allowing the company’s staple writers and artists to play creative musical chairs with Marvel’s tentpole characters. One such example of this is Brian Michael Bendis taking over writing duties on his first ever X-book – All-New X-Men.

Marvel.com has gone live with a preview of the book’s first issue, with art by Stuart Immonen. The preview is not colored, nor lettered, but it is beautiful. The series will see the original X-Men – Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Ice Man, Angel and Beast – travel to present day and see just what the future holds for the mutant race. In the fallout of Avengers vs. X-Men, things are not looking too good.

Written by: Brian Michael Bendis

Art and cover by: Stuart Immonen

It’s a blast from the past as the original five students of Professor X – Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Angel and Beast – are plucked from the past and brought to the present. But what they find, the state that their future selves are in and the state of Xavier’s dream, is far from the future they dreamed of. And how will the X-Men of the present deal with their past coming crashing forward?

32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

On Sale November 7

I have a tough time keeping up with X-Men, but this looks like an interesting idea. Could be a good jumping on point as they might need to sum things up...

I am actually really excited to read this book. I once read Brian Michael Bendis' rejected script for the Ultimate X-Men series back in 2002 (I think). Bendis' ideas and interpretation of the characters and feel to the team were really good... Now I can't wait to read his grasp on the First Class team.

@antemiusenteri said:

If you're right, I really hope that young Scott from the past lets him know how much of a douche he is.

Not so sure past Bobby will like to hear that present Bobby dated Mystique.

@EdwardWindsor: There's an upside to the whole thing, having duplicates opens up a self-reflexive dialogue. If Bendis is able to incorporate this into the storyline intelligibly, well, I'm sure we shall be in for a treat.

I feel this is a bad idea as an open ended series.

Althought Bendis has yet to do me wrong.

I still don't know why they just didn't do another first class run. Porting the original five to now and calling it "all new" seems so ridiculously stupid to me.

I'm actually looking forward to this if there is as much interaction between these younger ones and present day as it looks like...hopefully, they won't go off on their own - because I think the potential for drama is fantastic. While Marvel is saying that these are the same very ones...it almost seems like their delving into alternative pasts/futures thing - which we've seen before so I'm not sure why everyone is so concerned about having two of each character...In the last decade we have those evil ones...(which last I knew were still around so technically there should be three of each character) not to mention Extreme X-Men/Exiles. The art looks great, and I'm actually a fan of Bendis. His writing can get sloppy, being filled with two many snarky comments that isn't in character to everyone, but it's tight with overall script and plots...so, if he tones down the snarky comments...

I liked how present day Warren had a memory wipe and it was a clever (rare for Marvel) way of making a 40 year old comic character new, but now it's redundant (typical for Marvel) because we've got the past Warren here and there won't be that much difference between them, and I thought the point of this comic was to show how different the past and present X-men are. But what do I know, It's not like Marvel would stop being redundant when it's worked for them for years.

At least having the original Beast brings hope that he'll prevent the stupid, STUPID lion incident! I really hate the lion look.

@Metron144: I hadn't realized that they were mirroring the film until you said this. Now my malcontent is complete.

For all of you whom are planning on perpetuating this garbage - hopefully you come around quickly. It is beyond me why any adult comic fan would creatively endorse the notion of what is being peddled here.

Isn't meeting your self in the future something that could tear the time-space continuum apart? lets see this is happening in November... So I guess the Mayans were pretty close about the world ending this year.

On a more serious note, that's got to be a big culture shock to the young, innocent x-team to find out the things they will go through. Jean dies, Warren gets maimed then turned evil then fixed but with an obvious change in appearance and attitude, Hank hardly even resembles a human anymore (making his original code name rather ominous) And Scott turns into a world class tool.

However, some good can come from this. If nothing else, Scott running into his young, idealistic self may be the kick in the pants he needs to get his act together and start being a hero again. If that isn't enough I'm sure the shocked look young Jean will have when she sees what he has become will do he trick.

Here's the scenario I feel coming on:

Marvel: "Well, we really pushed Scott Summers out of character so much in recent years, and especially throughout AvX, that the only way to clean up after ourselves and make him a wholesome hero again, is to kill him off at the end of AvX, take his past 'boyscout' self, carry him into the future to clean up the spilled milk his Phoenix possessed future self made.

"Additionally, the only way to bring Jean back for the 1000th time, without completely destroying the potency of the original death of saga, is to bring her forward from the past!

"Hurray for us"

Bleh. I'll pass on this unless the writing is 'just that good' (the art looks very promising). The original 5 are so boring and uninspired that they should really stay in the 1960's where they belong IMHO.

Super Soldier, I don't think Scott is going to die. At least Axel Alonso hinted at that, saying he would meet Jean and there is a third group yet to be shown...it's a rather big cast.

Gosh I'm so loving that cover...feels so retro. And isn't it interesting how Hank looks human still on the cover, yet in the book we're obviously looking at a more current feral Beast? O_o Still, I'm intrigued!
