So Marvel has started teasers for a new series called "The First X-Men".
While most people are assuming that it's a continuation of "X-Men First Class", I wouldn't be so quick to jump to that same conclusion. In fact, I would go so far as to say we may be looking at a Wolverine title involving other "immortal" characters who have been around a lot longer.
Recent events that have me wondering about this:
-Iron Fist's role (both currently and now, apparently, historically) in the Phoenix Force's visitation to Earth. Stretching back ages.
-The AvX event where the X-Men's core values are being brought into question.
-Xavier's sudden absence in the comics.
-Time Traveling Sabertooth (see Astonishing Wolverine & Spider-Man by Zeb Wells)
-Angel can't remember ANYTHING. He's basically NOT Warren at this point.
-It's about that time when people start getting retcons or new origins, and Xavier is due. Been saying that for a few months now.

Unless it's yet another series about the same old O5, I'm curious to see what this turns out to be.

Re: The First X-Men
Double posting for great justice and updates!
So, apparently this new limited series aims to retcon Wolverine as the most central figure to the X-Men, more or less replacing Xavier's role in the franchise's history: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=38666
Somehow, I'm not really surprised.

Re: The First X-Men
I would take what you say Star but spin it a tad.
They're replacing SCOTT with Logan. Seems strange how a lot of Logan development is coming after AvX... still haven't heard anything about Cyke though.
I wonder what's going to happen to him? ![cracked :cracked](./images/smilies/cracked.gif)
