X-Men Evolution Giant Super Special

A one-shot tie-in to the popular X-Men: Evolution animated series, this 2003 special was published by Gotham Entertainment Group. It brings the youthful, Academy-era versions of the X-Men—originally developed for the cartoon—into a standalone comic adventure. While it’s a brief entry, it’s a notable artifact of the franchise’s early-2000s multimedia expansion, capturing the tone and designs of the show for its fanbase.
