Pulling off the x-traordinary feat of staying true to its beloved predecessor while charting a path forward for the franchise, X-Men '97 is simply x-cellent.

Jordan King

Empire Magazine

A blast from the past with eyes laser-focused on the franchise’s future, X-Men ‘97 is as sharp, shiny, and frankly frickin’ cool as Wolvie’s adamantium claws. Snikt!

Rated: 4/5

Somehow “X-Men ’97” also manages to be a time anomaly, in the best way — both an artifact of the ’90s and a show for this moment, the perfect synthesis of then and now.

Everything about ’97 reflects an affection and thoughtfulness, not just for the Saturday morning cartoon but for the X-Men, too.

A comic book reader of the Xmen going back to the 80's. I really liked this series. It races a bit through the really long story arcs in the comics but for newbies to them it's very entertaining. I liked the crescendo ending as well. Glad it got a second season.

For a whole season, i got to return to the '90s. I was reminded that there was a reason why i watched the 90s X-Men and that i had taste as a kid. It's faithful in every way while doing what the original show was prevented from doing. It's also refreshing to return to non-cgi animation. This is quality.

The story was compelling and the art style was amazing. This show absolutely felt like something you would watch on a Saturday morning in the late 90s, and it was fantastic. I definitely recommend it for X-Men and superhero fans, and anyone looking to relive the old cartoons of the 1990s.
