\"X-Men<\/a>Friggin’ sweet! The legendary Fox animated series, X-Men<\/strong><\/em>, is out on DVD from Walt Disney Home Video today!<\/p>\n

They are releasing two volumes, each volume a 2-disc set. This is the X-Men cartoon that ran from 1992-1997.\u00a0 There were five seasons altogether of that series, and these DVDs cover the first 2 1\/2 seasons.\u00a0 If you click here for a complete list of episodes from the X-Men animated series<\/a>, these DVDs cover episodes 1 through 33.<\/p>\n

I’m working my way through these DVDs now and will be doing a full review within the next week.\u00a0 However, I gotta say these stories already remind me why I loved the X-Men!\u00a0 Fox did a good job adapting those classic Claremont tales.\u00a0 You can’t help but get caught up in the X-Universe again with: the Nazi hatred and bigotry that created Magneto; the time travel twists-and-turns of Days of Future Past<\/em>; Alpha Flight confronting their former teammate, Wolverine; Angel’s transformation into Archangel; the battle for leadership of the Morlocks; the manipulations of Mr. Sinister; the Dark Phoenix saga; and more!<\/p>\n

You can pick up both volumes up at your local DVD retailers today, or order them online from Amazon by clicking here for Volume 1<\/a> and clicking here for Volume 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple clips to whet your appetite and bring back some memories.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n
