X-Men For Dummies

Descripción

From the Publisher X-MEN MADE EASY. "Children of the atom, students of Charles Xavier, MUTANTS―feared and hated by the world they have sworn to protect. These are the STRANGEST heroes of all!" That's one of the introductions that ran at the top of every issue of the original run of X-Men (later Uncanny X-Men). It gets right to the heart of the concept―these heroes are different. Born with their powers and representing the next step in human evolution, the X-Men fight to protect a world that is often afraid of their awesome powers. When X-Men debuted, it often lagged in sales behind the likes of Fantastic Four and Avengers. But a 1975 reinvention led to the book being reborn as a massive success and the cornerstone of a franchise that became a pillar of the Marvel Universe. It's led to an ongoing family of titles featuring literally hundreds of beloved characters, and eventually reaching into film, television, animation, video games, and toy aisles. Maybe you're already familiar with the students of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Maybe you're meeting them for the first time. No matter the case, you're about to embark on one of the most fascinating journeys in the history of comics. So settle in, grab some ruby quartz glasses if you need them, and read on.
