Essential X-Men #1 [Third Edition]

This volume collects the earliest adventures of the second generation of X-Men, reprinting Giant-Size X-Men #1 and X-Men #94-119 in black and white. It covers the debut of the new team—including Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine—as they face threats like Magneto, the Sentinels, and the Hellfire Club under Chris Claremont's writing and Dave Cockrum's art. Part of Marvel's budget-friendly Essential line, it offers a comprehensive look at the series' transformative late-1970s era.
