X-Men: First Class Special

Jeff Parker and Colleen Coover team up for this 2007 Marvel one-shot, a warm, character-driven addition to the X-Men: First Class line. Focusing on the original five teen X-Men during their early days, it offers a lighthearted, slice-of-life adventure that celebrates the charm of the team's formative era. Coover's expressive, cartoony art perfectly complements Parker's playful scripting, making this a standout, self-contained gem for fans of the classic line-up.
