More all-new, in-continuity tales set in the X-Men’s legendary past! First, writer Roy Thomas returns to bridge the gap between his 1960s run and the team-redefining GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1! Discover Wolverine’s government missions before his recruitment by Professor X — including unrevealed details of his battle with the Hulk, an early encounter with the X-Men and a secret behind his iconic costume! Then, Ann Nocenti takes the X-Men back to Mojoworld for an adventure set after her sensational LONGSHOT limited series! Will Longshot, Wolverine and Shadowcat be able to escape the pull of Mojoworld before things Spiral out of control? And the future is now as superstar Whilce Portacio returns to his iconic co-creation Bishop in a time-traveling tale that finally reveals the genesis of the X.S.E.’s ill-fated final mission back to the X-Men's present day! Collecting X-MEN LEGENDS (2022) #1-6.
Roy Thomas joined the Marvel Bullpen as a writer and editor under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every title of the time: Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Sub-Mariner, Thor, X-Men and more. He wrote the first 10 years of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist, Invaders and Warlock. At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related titles, proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice Society of America. Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.

Journalist, editor, filmmaker and more, Ann Nocenti has a long history in comics, both as a writer and editor. As an editor at Marvel, she oversaw such titles as New Mutants and Uncanny X-Men. As a writer, she has worked for both Marvel (Longshot, Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine) and DC (Batman, Kid Eternity), but is probably best known for her groundbreaking run with John Romita Jr. on Daredevil.
