X-Men: First Class draws together recognisable comic-story material and reshapes it for a self-contained feature-film narrative. Start with X-Men #1, then compare it with X-Men: First Class #1–8 and Uncanny X-Men #161. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
