Think you know the ALL NEW, ALL DIFFERENT X-MEN that debuted in the seventies starting with GIANT SIZED X-MEN #1? This isn't just a reprint series. Chris Claremont and John Bolton have expanded Len Wein's original story of how Professor X gathered together CYCLOPS, WOLVERINE, COLOSSUS, STORM, SUNFIRE, THUNDERBIRD, BANSHEE and NIGHTCRAWLER into a brand new team of X-Men to mount a daring rescue mission to save ICE MAN, ANGEL, MARVEL GIRL/JEAN GREY, and THE BEAST!
In the early 1970s, the X-Men were a moribund group, never really scoring with readers. The introduction of a new, more exciting team of X-Men changed all that. By 1986, it was clear that the new X-Men were a major hit, if not yet the phenomenon they were by the 1990s. As such, Marvel decided the time was right to begin reprinting their adventures—sometimes in slightly modified form—beginning from their early adventures in Giant-Size X-Men #1.
