Beau DeMayo Has More ‘Homework’ for X-Men ‘97 Fans and This Time it’s a Comic Book Depicting Wolverine’s Worst Ever Fate
Shortly after X-Men ‘97 premiered, fans realized the greatness that pulsated beneath the surface of the show. With great character development and intricate storylines bound together, it didn’t take long for the show to become a fan favorite. However, the lead writer and showrunner, Beau DeMayo, was fired soon after without stating any particular reason.
Nonetheless, this did not stop him from expressing appreciation for the show and helping fans with context in some episodes. From watching past episodes to now reading comic books, DeMayo is helping fans better enjoy the show by giving them some homework do to.
Beau DeMayo’s Homework to Fans of X-Men ‘97
As the finale of the animated series X-Men ‘97 nears, fans are excited to see how this massive mutant-based saga culminates into a thrilling end. The journey of mutants in the superhero team has been interesting so far, to say the least. From fighting amongst themselves for power to dealing with the hatred and negativity of the masses, they have only grown stronger at each turn.
Now, to truly understand their trajectory in the finale, Tolerance is Extinction, Beau DeMayo suggests fans read the comic titled Uncanny X-Men #304. The finale of the series will unfold in three parts, further adding to the anticipation. DeMayo shared on X that fans should read the comic before diving into the finale episode to better understand what’s going to happen.

This may seem like another bit of homework, but knowing DeMayo and his attention to detail, fans shouldn’t miss out on experiencing the holistic story as it is meant to be. Earlier, the ex-showrunner posted on X that fans should go back and watch a few episodes of X-Men: The Animated Series before streaming the first part of the finale episode.
Will There Be More Seasons of X-Men ‘97?
Considering how immensely successful X-Men ‘97 has been, it would make sense for Marvel to milk the incredible show for more seasons and make the fans keep coming back for more. That is truly the case since Brad Winderbaum recently confirmed in an interview with ComicBook.com that seasons 2 and 3 are both greenlit by Marvel.
The second season has already begun and is under production while the third season will be developed soon. It’s great news for fans to see Marvel embracing what the fandom wants. After What If…?, X-Men ‘97 is the second animated series to garner such massive public support from critics and fans alike. Winderbaum further stated that the upcoming seasons will also stay true to the source material to delight fans in more ways than one.
The first season of X-Men ’97 is streaming on Disney+.
