Ultimate X-Men

Launching in 2002 as part of Marvel's Ultimate line, this series reimagined the X-Men for a modern, streamlined universe, with Geoff Johns scripting the debut issue and Aaron Lopresti on pencils. Though brief—spanning just a single issue—it offered a fresh take on the mutant team's dynamics and conflicts, distinct from the core Ultimate X-Men ongoing. This issue stands as a notable snapshot of the era's approach to rebooting classic concepts.
