Steve Foxe SAYS "There's a very good chance I wouldn't be writing comics today if not for the impact X-Men: The Animated Series had on me as a kid–heck, the voice actors from the show are still the voices I hear when I read the comics today! Getting to reunite with my X-Men '92: House of XCII collaborator Salva Espín on this official prelude to X-Men '97 has felt like a bucket-list project a lifetime in the making, and Beau and the rest of the '97 team gave us a fantastic runway to come up with our own original tale that feeds right into what viewers will get to experience in the new season."

X-Men '97 from  Beau DeMayo for Disney+ is  a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series that ran from 1992 to 1997, and the plot will continue where the original series left off. Cast members Cal Dodd, Lenore Zann, George Buza, Catherine Disher, Chris Potter, Alison Sealy-Smith, Adrian Hough, Christopher Britton, and Alyson Court are returning to the show in early 2024 for ten episodes with a second season to follow.
