Brian Michael Bendis and artist Valerio Schiti delivered an unexpected tale featuring the rookies that perfectly captures the core of what being an X-Man is.

It may be one of the final times we see them in action.

The new students created by Bendis are not listed in the All-New, All-Different Marvel X-books. Will these kids vanish into the back burner or the void of forgotten mutants? Continue reading ONCE and FUTURE X-MEN
