X-Men '92: House of XCII brings modern events to nostalgic cartoon era of the early 90s. Read our full review of this mashup here:
✖ We're in the middle of an X-Men renaissance thanks to Jonathan Hickman's acclaimed relaunch of Marvel's mutants back in 2019, centering the story on Krakoa and the coming together of all Mutantkind to finally form their own sovereign nation. This new era of X-Men absolutely falls in the"fan-favorite" category, along with perhaps the most popular era in the history of the characters.
The short answer is because it's cool and it's probably going to sell like hotcakes. Those classic yellow and blue suits next to that beautiful hover-chair are an instant way to print money. Why do you think Disney is rebooting the TV series? Nostalgia is a proven winner, especially when it comes to these specific X-Men characters, combining them with House of X was just the easy way to justify the book's existence in the current X-Men line.
When you look beyond the premise of House of XCII, which doesn't really allow the story to go anywhere, there's a lot to dig in these pages. Foxe does an excellent job of giving life to the classic iterations of these characters, which is a harder task than you might think. Giving Wolverine a few classic"bub" lines has been a staple of lazy X-Men writing for years. Everyone loves to make up fake cajun phrases for Gambit.
