This book basically serves as the transition between the X-Men First Class book and the Uncanny X-Men First Class book. The first one has been going for a couple of years now, and much like the 'original' X-Men Giant-Sized (1975), this one will signify the transition between the 2 teams. Although, I really doubt that this one will carry near the amount of signifigance as the original did. The opening page explains it all . . "Charles Xavier created a school for mutants, and trained his students to protect a world that hated and feared them. Scott, Jean, Bobby, Warren and Hank were called the X-Men. There was a mission that went horribly wrong. Scott lead a new team of X-Men on a rescue mission and saved his old team. Now the new team is the only team. Scott's having trouble dealing with that . . . " This issue is brought to us by a rather large creative team. Jeff Parker, Scott Gray and Roger Langridge are the writers, and Craig Rousseau, David Williams, Dennis Calero, Sean Galloway, Joe Infurnari, Cameron Stewart and Jeff Parker are the artists. Oh, and Scottie Young who did the cover. I have to say, they put an awful lot into this book. This will definitely catch up all those younger readers who might not be familiar with the intricacies of the X-Men's history. I guess it's cheaper than buying the original. Anyways, all the creators are involved because of all the little origin stories. Although, Wolverines's is clearly made-up. Bit by a radioactive Wolverine? I think we've heard that one somewhere before. It was a cute book. The series will be by Scott Cray and Roger Cruz. So it should have a lot of the feel of the other First Class books. Personally, I like this approach that they're taking to representing the X-Men history. It's young and fresh and . . it should bring in new readers.
