With the animated series X-Men ’97 coming to Disney+ in spring 2024, Marvel Comics is launching a four-issue miniseries that will be a prelude to the show. X-Men ’97, by writer Steve Foxe and artist Salva Espin, will bring readers up to speed on the doings of Storm, Jubilee, Wolverine, and the other cast members since the earlier animated X-Men show ended in 1997. Events in the comics will lead directly into the animated series. The first issue will be released on March 27, 2024, with a cover by Steve Nauck.
X-Men ’97 is a followup to X-Men: The Animated Series, which ran from 1992-1997; the plot will pick up where the older show left off, and many of the voice actors are returning to the cast. The series was originally scheduled for Fall 2023 but was pushed back because of the writers’ and actors’ strikes (see “Marvel Delays Seven Disney+ Series”).
