The one-shots are the result of a retooling of what was once a planned Mutant X ongoing series. The books will be released on a six week schedule, with three of them currently in the works.
The first one-shot, written by David Tischman and drawn by Lee Ferguson, will also includes a 12-page backup by Tischman and Captain America 2001 Annual artist Ignacio Calero. The issue will sport a photo cover featuring Mutant X actresses Victoria Pratt (Shalimar Fox) and Lauren Lee Smith (Emma deLauro).
"Issue #1 of the comic book is a double-sized issue, an origin story of sorts, telling how Adam, and his then mentor, Paul Breedlove, are recruited by the government to run Genomax, and how the initial genetic tinkering occurred," Tischman is quoted as saying in the solicitation copy. "The TV series starts with all the characters - and conflicts - in place, and we thought it'd be fun to start the comic from the beginning, to give the fans some behind-the-scenes information and insight into Adam and his philosophical nemesis, Eckhart."
"The second {story}, a back-up feature, is a fun piece about the newly-formed Mutant X group," Tischman told X-Fan.
