Generation X Epic Collection #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Epic Collection gathers the early adventures of Generation X, the teenage mutant team mentored by Banshee and Emma Frost, including their formation and initial battles. It collects issues from the mid-1990s, focusing on characters like Jubilee, Chamber, M, and Synch as they navigate life at the Massachusetts Academy. The volume features storylines that establish the team's dynamic and their conflicts with adversaries such as the Emplate and the Black Queen.
"Generation Next Part One: Encounter" kicks off the Phalanx Covenant arc with a pulse-pounding clash of mutants and mind games. Written by Scott Lobdell and brought to life by Chris Bachalo’s dynamic art—inked by Mark Buckingham and colored by Steve Buccellato and Electric Crayon—this issue plunges Gen X into a high-stakes rescue mission beneath Gene Nation’s underground lair. With Emma trapped and her powers suppressed, Artie leads Jubilee, Skin, and Synch on a tense mission that tests their limits, while unexpected tensions flare between Paige and Chamber—and even Wolverine has a surprising moment with Jubilee. The cover by Chris Bachalo and Adam Kubert captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.
