If you are an Xbox users who love X-Men, well then you want to read this. Xbox is celebrating mutant nostalgia with Marvel Animation’s “X-Men ’97” Custom Comic Xbox Series X and Controllers. Wait, wait? 1997 is considered nostalgia? Damn, I must be old! It felt like it was just last year! For those who don’t know, the X-Men ’97 is not exactly the cartoons from the 90s; it is X-Men set in 1997. It is now streaming on Disney+ if anyone’s interested.
The Marvel Animation’s “X-Men ’97” Custom Comic Xbox Series X is the good old Xbox Series X wrapped in an exclusive (and super cool, if I may add) comic by Marvel’s Rich Douek and Paco Diaz. The 2-page story with full page cover is exclusive to the Xbox Series X and features Cyclops leading the X-Men in a battle against Sentinels and Master Mold, with a twist: an Xbox Series X console making a special appearance in the Danger Room.
Unfortunately, you cannot buy it outright. You can, however, try your luck by entering the limited-time sweepstakes for a chance to win this ultimate collector’s bundle which also includes one of the Xbox Design Lab character controllers.
If you are game, you can join the sweepstakes by following Xbox on X (formerly Twitter) and retweeting the official Xbox sweepstakes tweet (#Xbox97Sweepstakes) during the Entry Period. Sweepstakes rules apply. The sweepstakes will run exclusively from Monday, April 22, 6:00 AM PST through Sunday, May 19, 8:00 PM PST.
Fans can also acquire the Xbox Design Lab’s X-Men character controllers separately if desired.
