Taking place shortly after the events of Morrison’s New X-Men, with Magneto and Jean Grey dead and Charles Xavier in self-imposed exile, Scott Summers (aka Cyclops) becomes the new leader of the X-Men and headmaster of Xavier’s School. Even better, he paired with visual tour de force and Planetary artist John Cassaday to bring his vision of the canonical comic team to life. So when he was offered the task of writing said X-Men – with near-complete creative freedom, mind – he happily obliged. From conflicts with Magneto’s Brotherhood of Mutants to the discovery of the Phoenix Force, and from Days of Future Past to the comic of Apocalypse, the X-Men’s history is considered some of the greatest work every put to the panelled page.Īs it turns out, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly creator Joss Whedon is also a massive X-Men fan. Even casual non-comics fans are familiar with the trails of mutantkind and Charle Xavier’s team of naturally gifted heroes. LThe story of the X-Men in comics is the medium’s equivalent of common biblical knowledge.
