Just in time for X-Men ’97 Season 2, which is set in the 1990s, Marvel will release a series of X-Men Variant Covers set in and inspired by the 1980s. And just for further clarification, it is currently 2026.
Featuring art by Alexander Lozano, the artwork highlights Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Rogue, Magik, and Mystique in looks that are, like, totally ’80s. And for non-jokey clarification, they have nothing to do with X-Men ’97, it’s just odd timing.
“I discovered my love for the X-Men back in the 1980s,” Lozano said via press release. “For me, there’s hardly anything that captures the unique sound and atmosphere of growing up in the ‘80s better than the X-Men in their stylish costumes. They were the unsung heroes who had to face impossible odds. But while the X-Men were busy fighting Magneto, Dark Phoenix and the Hellfire Club, a young generation was trying to find its own identity—somewhere between Miami Vice and punk. So I thought it only fair to put my beloved X-Men through their greatest test of all: the Uncanny ‘80s fashion!!!”
