After 50-something years, Marvel dug back to the original five core X-Men characters from 1963, and dropped them into the present day along with some premise about how they cannot go back.

But for the X-Men, they just brought the younger versions of themselves into the present … Connecticut Yankee… Strangers in a Strange Land.

This page is a wonderful example of primo comic art styling. The summary script line:
