X-Men: First Class is a comic book series about the X-Men. It takes place during the starting years of the X-Men featuring the X-Men's original lineup. The membership featured is based on the original team lineup of X-Men.
The original series was an eight-issue mini-series.It began in September 2006 and ended in April 2007. The mini-series was written by Jeff Parker and penciled by Roger Cruz. The series exceeded expectations and was a critical success. As a result, it was followed by a Special in May of 2007 and a monthly series started in June 2007 with the same creative team.
Most stories are done in one-shot tales, but some tales will be two parters. The original team of X-Men are wearing new costumes in the series, so readers will know that the stories are new. The series guest-stars many other popular characters, such as Lizard, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Man-Thing, Gorilla-Man, and Thor.
