Join your host Garhdo as they take a close look at X-Men: The Animated Series from 1992, discussing how its exploration of the characters, as well as its lifting of the plots and themes of the long-running X-Men comics, especially the legendary seventeen year run of work by Chris Claremont, makes it possibly the best adaptation yet of the uncanny team of mutant heroes.

Obviously the news of the upcoming X-Men 97 series has me and many others heading back to rewatch this classic series, and like many others I remembered just how amazing it was. In fact it was while making my way through it that I began to realise that while I love the films and other series, that this may in fact be the best adaptation of the X-Men.
X-Men will also be celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, and so I will be coming back to them, as they are a franchise I've beloved since I was a child.
