X2: The Movie

In 2003, Marvel released a single-issue comic adaptation of X2: X-Men United, bridging the gap between the blockbuster film and its source material. This one-shot captures the tension of the film's plot, as Wolverine, Storm, and the team face a military assault on Xavier's school while confronting the vengeful Colonel Stryker. Though a brief tie-in, it stands as a snapshot of the early 2000s moment when superhero movies were reshaping comics publishing.
