May’s ‘Giant-Size X-Men’ #1 Reveals The X-Man That Never Was
by Tony Thornley
One of the biggest turning point in Marvel Comics history was Giant-Size X-Men, a story that transformed a mid-selling team book into a phenomenon. But what if there were one mutant that refused Xavier’s invitation…?
In May, Marvel kicks off the anniversary celebration of Giant-Size X-Men #1 with a time-spanning story written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and an all-star team of artists. Through the adventure, Kamala Khan will travel through key points in X-Men history to prevent Legion from destroying the past- including House of M and the Age of Apocalypse. The kick-off of the story sees her transported back to the birth of the All-New All-Different X-Men, with art by X-Men legend Adam Kubert.
Each issue of the event will feature a Revelations back-up story that will add new wrinkles to the X-Men’s history. The first one is a doozy as superstars Al Ewing and Sara Pichelli tell the tale of the X-Man that never was. Yes, there was a mutant who declined Xavier’s offer. Who was she and how is she important even today? Well, you’ll have to pick it up to find out.
Check out the Spoiler variant cover for this back-up story from Luciano Vecchio and watch for Giant-Size X-Men #1 from Marvel Comics in May!
