Ahead of its February 17th launch, Marvel Comics has unveiled an X-Men Legends #1 trailer. The trailer suggests the series will “reshape” X-Men history forever. Featuring art by Brett Booth, the trailer features many familiar characters like Cyclops, Gambit, classic Cable, and Havok.
Originally announced on November 10th, each issue will have a different creative team with the first issue by Fabian Nicieza, Brett Booth, Adelso Corona, and GURU-eFX.
“I am very glad I was able to tell this story in almost exactly the way I had always planned,” Nicieza told Comic Book Resources in a recent interview. “I knew who I wanted Adam to be, and I think this story will give readers a chance to see that. It’s a ‘big’ story that is also very intimate, sad, tragic and hopeful all at the same time. And it’s also got a tremendous amount of crunchy cool fun, as well!”
