Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, and Angel — the original 5 X-Men — are sent on a new multiversal adventure with the arrival of Original X-Men #1. The state of mutandom in the current Marvel Universe is in a precarious position thanks to the Fall of X. As the mutants of Krakoa fight for survival in the current timeline, readers are brought a new tale dealing with the X-Men in simpler times. Set years before the current era of X-Men comics, Original X-Men #1 is a one-shot issue that will springboard into a new miniseries — Weapon X-Men — next year. This issue isn’t concerned with the current state of affairs in mutant comics and instead has its sights set on a more cosmic scale. Original X-Men #1, written by Christos Gage with pencils by Greg Land, inks by Jay Leisten, colors by Frank D’Armata, and letters by VC’s Clayton Cowles, sees the first heroes to bear the X-Men name facing down a new multiversal threat.This issue opens with the original X-Men in mid-conflict before they’re abruptly pulled from the fight. The group is transported out of normal space and time by a version of Jean Grey as the Phoenix from an alternate universe. Phoenix then spends a handful of pages explaining to the original five why she’s pulled them from their time and what mission she has prepared for them. After this prologue, the team is transported to another reality to embark on the quest they’re specifically suited for. Readers, and, by extension, the team, are given an explanation as to why this specific group from this time was chosen for this adventure, and the reasoning makes enough sense. Unfortunately, the prologue doesn’t do enough to stand out from other X-Men stories in recent years that feel the same, and the rest of the issue falls into the same trap.Land and Leisten handle the pencils and inks for this issue, respectively, and the pair put out a great-looking book. Each character looks distinctive despite their consistent uniforms, and there are many “hero pose” action shots throughout. This title is also fairly action-packed, and the pair of artists bring an impressive sense of movement to the conflicts. Angel’s flights are particularly striking, presenting him at a breakneck speed as he soars around Manhattan. Each team member also gets at least one sequence highlighting their particular powers.
