X-Men: First Class Finals

In 2009, Marvel revisited the early days of the X-Men with this four-issue miniseries, written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Roger Cruz and Amilcar Pinna. It follows the original team—Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Iceman, and Marvel Girl—as they tackle a dangerous new threat that tests their fledgling abilities and teamwork. A companion to the X-Men: First Class line, it offers a fresh, character-driven take on the classic era, highlighting the bonds that would define the team for years to come.
