UNCANNY X-MEN

Written by CHRIS CLAREMONT & ROGER STERN with TOM DeFALCO & JIM SHOOTER Penciled by MARC SILVESTRI with ALAN DAVIS, KERRY GAMMILL, RICK LEONARDI, KEITH POLLARD & MARSHALL ROGERS Cover by MARC SILVESTRI
Marc Silvestri’s uncanny legacy as an X-Men artist begins here! The artist who would define a new era of mutant drama kicks things off with the X-MEN VS. AVENGERS limited series, in which Magneto is summoned to trial for crimes against humanity. Can the Avengers bring him to justice? And why are the X-Men standing in their way? Next, Alan Davis draws an epic Annual introducing the alien force named Horde! Then, Silvestri joins with mutant maestro Chris Claremont for a run of legendary stories – including the iconic “Fall of the Mutants,” which changed everything for the X-Men. In a major status quo change for the series, the X-Men relocate to Australia – where they take on the cyborg Reavers!

Chris Claremont’s deeply personalized characterizations in X-Men created a legion of forever fans! From the ashes of Inferno, the X-Men seek to recover and regroup, but the Reavers have no intentions of letting that happen. As they stalk the depleted team, the remaining members of the X-Men fall one by one. Tortured and gravely wounded, this time even Wolverine might not live to fight another day! Moira MacTaggert forms a group as the final line of defense, but Xavier’s dream might die on Muir Island. It’s a dire and dramatic saga masterfully executed by legendary X-scribe Chris Claremont. Highlights in this volume also feature Rogue’s tragic internal war with Carol Danvers, Master Mold and the threat of a Sentinel resurgence, as well as superstar artist Jim Lee’s X-Men debut – not to mention a li’l humor from wacky world of WHAT THE–?!
