Foxe shared about his return to this story:
“I feel exceptionally grateful that Salva Espin, Matt Milla, and I get to tell more stories fleshing out the world of X-Men ‘97!
Everyone who watched Season One knows the team left us one heck of an era-spanning cliffhanger, and our prequel for Season Two doesn’t take any cheats or shortcuts around that wild status quo.”
“We got to work closely with the series team to make sure this comic is a vital, additive experience for our mutants—what’s left of the X-Men, anyway…”
Check out the cover by returning X-Men ‘97 cover artist Todd Nauck along with a variant cover by Jhony Caballero inspired by Season One’s iconic basketball looks.
