X-MEN FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, & reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, & before Charles Xavier & Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X & Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood & Professor X’s X-Men.
