About the series
In 2005, Marvel revisited the dawn of its mutant mythos with X-Men: Children of the Atom, a single-issue comic that channels the foundational energy of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's original 1960s work. This issue serves as a direct homage to the series' debut, capturing the early, uncertain days of the X-Men as they first grapple with their powers and place in a fearful world. While brief, it's a concise, respectful tribute to the creators and concepts that launched one of comics' most enduring franchises.
