    Default Original X-Men #1 - Letterless Preview

    https://www.marvel.com/articles/comi...t-look-preview

    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, in ORIGINAL X-MEN (2023) #1 by Christos Gage and Greg Land, 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.

    A special first look at ORIGINAL X-MEN (2023) #1 finds the X-Men running 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.

    I'm confused as to why this got greenlit considering that the premise of exploring alternate realities thanks to the Phoenix is basically the same premise of the current Jean Grey mini.

    I'm really thinking it's got something to do with fixing Beast.
    placeholder signature until I can think of something.

    The art really makes me feel like we are back in the early 2010s.

    That because half the panels are the same images from Endsong and other GL work.
    I was trying to do too much and not doing any of it as well as I could. But I've had a change of mind... though not everyone shall enjoy it. I will.

    Jean deserves better than Greg Land art.

    She's going back in time to ensure a future drawn by Greg Land never happens.

    Ugly art. Super-repetitive/low-effort. Duplicate characters. Time travel.

    So many reasons to hate on this.

    As if we don't already have too many alternate reality clone Jeans. Heres two more for some reason.

    I'm thirsty for anything Warren, so... beggars can't be choosers. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
    Time will tell if the attempt at least worked for us Warren (and Hank) fans.

    (curious about the scene with Warren shaking hands with the other guy. The logo that gets cut seems to be the logo for the US presidency? Could, at least in that timeline, Warren finally surged as the spokesman of the mutants?)
    First Warren in Dark X-Men #1, and then Genis-Vell in Captain Marvel #1. Seriously, Marvel?!

    I have a hunch this will tie into Jean Grey (2023), Immortal X-Men #17 and #18, and perhaps X-Men Forever (2024). Will Jean learn more about how powerful her mind truly is, as stated in the Jean Grey #4 solicit? That, being one with Phoenix, she transcends the multiverse? After all, Gage noted about this issue, “There are definite ramifications beyond the one-shot. The story will continue.” Also, the solicitation for The Original X-Men #1 teases one of the X-Men trapped in the world as we know it and larger ramifications for the Marvel Universe, about which Gage stated, “I’m not promising it’s one of the original five X-Men… if they even survive this adventure… though I’m not saying it’s not! And that might be better phrased, ‘larger ramifications for the Marvel MULTIVERSE’…

    My money's still on Changeling/Morph -. he's as close to an original X-Man as it gets, was involved with the Multiverse before and he's about to star in X-Men 97.

    I have to wonder though what ramifications this could possibly have when we're about to enter a brand new editorial era...

    When we learn this is Jean, slowly evolving into her true form—White Phoenix (hence the white and lilac hues)—updating her younger self on all that she’s learned and embraced since “dying” at the Hellfire Gala.
