X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES LIVES ON IN X-MEN '92

Cue the theme song.

13 MAR 2015 BY JESSE SCHEDEEN

Marvel revealed more information about the upcoming comic series X-Men '92 which takes place in the world of X-Men: The Animated Series. As revealed by Polygon, X-Men '92 will pick up where the animated series left off in 1997 and chronicle the continuing adventures of this iconic X-Men cast.

X-Men '92 will be the latest addition to Marvel's Infinite Comics digital line. The first digital chapter will debut on services like Comixology in May, with the first print edition hitting stores in June. The series will be co-written by Chris Sims and Chad Bowers (Down Set Fight), with Scott Koblish (Deadpool) providing the art.

X-Men '92 was originally teased last fall along with a number of other Secret Wars tie-in comics. And while this series is being marketed as a Secret Wars tie-in (with the animated X-Men presumably occupying their own corner of Battleworld), Polygon revealed that X-Men '92 is planned as an ongoing comic rather than a mini-series. The solicitation for the first issue teases, "When Baron Kelly charges the Clear Mountain Project and its mysterious new director with 'mutant rehabilitation,' it's up to the X-Men to investigate!"

This should come as exciting news to anyone with nostalgia for X-Men: The Animated Series. The show was notable for adapting a number of iconic X-Men storylines from the comics and introducing the franchise to a wider audience. The show eventually led to an entire animated Marvel Universe during the '90s, including shows for Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Hulk, and Iron Man.

"I was ten years old in 1992," Sims told Polygon, "and that was the perfect time to get into the X-Men. There was just so much going on, and all those complicated stories and over-the-top characters were just so enticing, and not just because they were time-travelers with huge guns and scrappy little dudes with knives on their hands. It was this whole weird, complex world that I wanted to see more of, and now we're getting the chance to go in and make it even weirder."

The first chapter of X-Men '92 will debut in May at a price of $3.99. Let us know if you're excited for the return of this team in the comments below. And click here for the full scoop on all of Marvel's Secret Wars tie-ins revealed so far.

I NEED a Spider-Man '94 comic book series SO BAD!!!!!

Marvel did that already with 80's story plots

 

[Heretic]

All new X-Men is good as a mix of old and new.

 

[Swiggy]

Where all my late 20's/early 30's playas at?



We was FEASTIN' back then.



Ugh... i was also 10 in 1992. Was trading those marvel cards in the lunch room with my friends.


Eating sour gum balls and wearing the same damn single pair of nike shoes the entire year.

GOAT!!!!!

[KravenMorehead™]

 

[Days of Future Piff]

It's finally back! That theme song was GOAT

Spoiler

but still, early 80s X-men >>>

To my recollection, this show had some of the most unintentionally hilarious lines ever from a cartoon.

Every other episode having Cathal Dodd's Wolverine screaming: "JEEEEEAAANNN!!!"

Jean Grey always passing out from using her powers despite being the most powerful mutant on the team.

Gambit's jokes.

Prof. X's yelling.

And anything that came out of Apocalypse's mouth was comedy gold. IDK why but anything he said had me...

Good times.

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Hate to be the guy that ruins your childhood but that show sucks lol just don't watch it again if you liked it back in the day.

doesn't matter. that show marked the entry point for A LOT of ppl when it comes to x-men. myself included.

i fail to see what was so bad about it. the characters were all fully realized, the artwork looked like the comics, the voices were perfect, SOOOO many characters and storylines got shine.... and dat theme.

 

[Panther]

Na na na na na na na

 

[BXKingPin82]

they need to drop that Professor X screaming uncrontrollably storyline AAAHHHHHHHARRRAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAUGH!!

The thing that has me most amped about this is one of the guys writing it went through and reviewed every single episode of the animated series. And shyt was hilarious.

http://comicsalliance.com/tags/x-men-episode-guide/page/8/

For example:

Then again, mail-order wouldn’t give him the opportunity to flirt with the foxy playing card store cashier, whose breathy “You must like to play cards” is met with “I like solitaire okay, unless I got someone… to play with.”

For those of you who may have missed that, this is how the X-Men cartoon chooses to introduce Gambit: With him announcing through the thinnest possible metaphor that he likes to masturbate unless there’s someone around willing to have sex. Gambit, everybody!

But first, Rogue has to make sure nobody’s dead, so we get a scene where she gives Cyclops mouth-to-mouth while encouraging him to come (wait for it) back to life with a breathy “come on, pretty boy… make a girl feel welcome.” It’s a weird little sequence that goes on just long enough for you to start wondering if they’ve forgotten what Rogue’s actual power is before she finally starts shooting lasers out of her eyes:

As if to put an exclamation point on how bad the X-Men suck at their actual jobs, Rogue walks around blasting everything in sight for a solid 20 seconds asking how to “turn it off” before Cyclops suggests that she close her eyes. Seriously, you guys. They are the worst.

So how does Gambit dress for an undercover mission? Boom:

FULL COSTUME. HOT PINK SIX-PACK. 90S HEADGEAR. ACTUAL ARMORED BOOTS AND METAL COLLAR PIPING, IN A DAMN AIRPORT. Total amount of f**ks given by Gambit:Zero. Point. Zero.

There is nothing that sums up Cable quite like punching someone through a stack of books.

Either way, this is where the episode gets delightfully stupid. Darkstar reasons that since “the deepest cold” was able to hold Omega Red before, they just need to create a snowstorm and that will immediately put him into a coma.

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS.

So, just so we’re all on the same page about this, the Soviet Army created a living super-weapon that could be stopped by winter, and they did this… in Russia. I cannot tell you how much I love this. Thus, Omega Red becomes a popsicle and the balance of world power is shifted back in favor of capitalism and bluejeans.

I loved his reviews & him writing this should mean we get full on creepy Gambit, a$$hole Cyclops, awful leader Prof X, etc.... all the little quirks that make the animated series still a very enjoyable watch even though it's not really a top quality cartoon

hope gambit gets more shine in this
