However, what mystery will they discover, and how will it alter what you believed you knew about the X-Men? Let’s dive into X-Men: Legends  by Fabian Nicieza and find out! In recent years, the X-Men have been all over the place. From different writers to different storylines, the X-Men have been a confusing cornucopia of chaos. Until Jonathan Hickman took the reins, this collage of comic characters has made it almost impossible for new readers to dive into the X-Men while making it simply perplexing at times for diehard fans. Enter X-Men: Legends, which is the perfect bridge between the old and the new. You see, X-Men: Legends takes you back to a high point in X-culture and then elaborates more on that moment in comics history by divulging even more than was once thought. Long time X-Men fans are going to love the hell out of this issue. Why? Well, Fabian Nicieza finally tells the story he’s wanted to tell for almost three decades. Truthfully, it’s the old rumor that’s been flying around comic circles since X-Men  came out in 1991. So, as much as the premise is to not spoil the issue, I’m pretty confident most hardcore X-fans already have a great idea of what this issue will focus on, as well as its intentions and direction. Now, if you’re new to the X-Men scene and seem puzzled as to what I’m talking about, fear not. This issue is also perfect for you! Nicieza masterfully uses Adam-X as the narrator to strategically guide new fans as to some important background information that should help House of X/Powers of X readers catch up pretty quickly. If not, I would say minor details and gaps could be easily fixed by a quick Google search on Adam-X. Furthermore, Nicieza lays on the 90s’ flare nice and thick. The over monologuing and insanely dramatic conversations are heavy-handed but in such a spectacular way that’s almost nostalgic. However, none of this would be complete without Brett Booth’s illustrations providing the perfect appearance with an updated spin. This era is literally in Booth’s wheelhouse. I can’t think of a better artist to mimic the 90s’ tone or style than Brett Booth. If you were reading X-Men in the 90s’ or even loved the animated series, X-Men: Legends  is for you. If you’re an avid fan that’s wanted Fabian Nicieza’s Adam-X storyline ironed out, look no further than this series. And lastly, if your new to X-Men and want that semi-nostalgic, 90s’ comic feel, you can’t do any better than Nicieza and Booth. X-Men: Legends  is sharp, familiar, action-packed, and is wisely pulling a Peter David by resurrecting a past idea, story, or character and building on that premise. David’s Maestro was smashingly fantastic. Likewise, Nicieza and Booth are on to something here and I hope it mutates into something more permanent and foundational in the Marvel Comic Landscape.
