Few comics have had the impact of 1975’s Giant-Size X-Men #1. Len Wein and Dave Cockrum introduced a whole new team of mutant heroes to take over Marvel’s long-running title, with the new characters debuting here before going on to to take over the regular X-Men title with issue #94. Numerous X-titles would continue through the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, and the mutant super team would launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Comic fans are hotly anticipating a new franchise of X-Men films under the Marvel Studios banner, with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine returning for the third Deadpool film.) To this day, the mutant team and their spin-offs continue to be amongst Marvel's best-selling books.
