This week sees Marvel Comics publish X-Men #1 by Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman, launching the From The Ashes era of X-Men, following the Krakoan Age. There has been much commentary regarding how it seems to be reflecting a nineties aspect of the X-Men, both the Jim Lee/Whilce Portacio era, and the animated series, which also reflected that. But more than anything is the new X-Mentions editorial page, which definitely includes that early nineties vibe, especially in the checklist and the like…
As well as teasing the future of the X-Men with these three folks.

Very, very possibly, and given that sales then used to regularly hit seven figures, with that Chris Claremont/Jim Lee X-Men #1 hitting eight million, there may be some hope that some of those sales may rub off on the X-Men as well as the general vibe. X-Men #1 is published today.
