Looks very fun.

Reminds me of those activity books and coloring books from the 90s about the OG cartoon lol.

Yeah this looks really fun. I'll definitely be picking it up.

I mean, obviously, I will still buy this book. But I just don’t understand why Marvel absolutely refuses to give us the badass 90’s X-Men without the cartoony aesthetic. This right here is EXACTLY what I want/need to see (I wish I could get this incredible image as an art print but I have no idea how to go about that).

Even the artwork like what Tom Grummett did for “X-Men Forever: Vol 1” in 2009 (the ONLY good element of the first 5 issues before they deliberately ruined it with needless uniform changes and non-stop “twists”) would be great! However, this upcoming “X-Men ‘97” book looks identical to the recent “X-Men ‘92: House Of XCII” title; like artwork you would expect to see in a children’s book.

My sincere hope is that the “X-Men ‘97” Disney+ series will prove popular enough to warrant a new on-going 90s X-Men title book, but with much more serious looking artwork and dialogue.

Jubilee certainly seems to appreciate Storm's new hairstyle more than Kitty did at the time

Ororo: Hullo child. My apologies for being late.

Jubilee: Storm your hair IS ALL THAT.

Ororo: And a bag of chips wouldn't you say? *Insert smile*

X-Men 97 is like, hands down the worst hair Storm has ever had. It looks like a scoop of ice cream sitting on top of her head. It doesn't give goddess, it doesn't give punk, it doesn't give glam. I hate it!

[Hakka84]

Why isn't Ororo rocking some awesome stilettos? Get rid of that mama unstilish shoes, Ororo. ç_ç
With your body and that suit you want to wear at least 3inches stiletto. Come on, Goddess!
(now, remove also the shirt under the jacket, and wear the jacket over the naked skin, and I die and go to heaven praying the Goddess - but I know, General Audience media, tame looks).

[superjosh]

yeah the shoes are the bigger offense!

Also, does it seem like Jubliee is Bishop's sidekick in these pages?

[NewMutant]

Seems like the art is trying to be like the cartoon. The artist did House of X 92 as well I think? It looks different. I'm enjoying Steve Foxe so I will definitely read this on Unlimited. I'm over buying right now with FotHoX, RotPoX, X-Men, Immortal/Forever, Dead XMen, and just off Astonishing Iceman. As excited I am for the cartoon I do think its creation has affected the timing of Krakoa's ending to how the books will be rebooting.

[Frontier]

The art is very colorful and Storm looks amazing in a suit .

I wonder if the X-Men are fighting the Friends of Humanity?

[Devaishwarya]

I see that White Suit and all I can think is Emma wore it a thousand times better.

This is the illustrated comic book and It's like they're not even trying to tap into her actual heritage. She's a black woman who spent all of her formative years in Africa for Goddess' sake! Why is that so frakking difficult to get on the page?

[JamJams]

That is what I was hoping the new cartoon would look like.
