X-Men Poster #218 All-New by Mike Mayhew Cyclops Jean Grey Iceman Angel Beast

Description

All-New X-Men was a comic book published by Marvel. The series centers on the five original X-Men, brought from the past to the present to confront their future counterparts.

Bendis stated that the idea of having the five original members of the X-Men (Warren Worthington III, Beast, Cyclops, Iceman and Jean Grey) see what has become of the X-Men came to him during a company retreat for Avengers vs. X-Men, “AvX led to it. It was an idea that had been floating around the X-Office for a while and I’m still unclear where exactly it percolated. I’m a big fan of these kinds of stories, Pleasantville or Peggy Sue Got Married, where a character faces the truth about themselves and what their life can mean versus what it does mean.”

Bendis said that the five original X-Men not only come into contact with the present day Cyclops’s team of X-Men but with Wolverine’s team of X-Men as well, “We’ll have three factions, and all these characters are interacting. It’s almost like a Robert Altman movie. Plus, there will also be some new characters that you haven’t met before.”
