It was revealed earlier this week that Wolverine assembled the first team of mutants. Logan will put together a team which includes Sabretooth, Magneto, Bomb, and a new female character in a new series called "The First X-Men".
Here is what Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso had to say...
Neal pitched us a really great concept for a Wolverine story that we realized, with a little bit of work, might actually fit as an official piece of X-Men history. A story that illuminated the connection between Wolverine's, Professor X and Sabretooth and, indeed, the very concept of a mutant super-team. The few months Neal and [writer] Christos [Gage] and [editor] Nick [Lowe] work-shopped that story really paid off -- it became so much richer and important and relevant, considering surprises that have yet to be revealed in "Avengers Vs. X-Men." I commend Neal and [writer] Christos [Gage] and [editor] Nick [Lowe] for their ability to take this story and make it count.
Below are Neal Adams' pages for "The First X-Men" a five issue limited series to be released in August.
