About this Collection

This 2015 hardcover celebrates the 40th anniversary of Giant-Size X-Men #1, the landmark 1975 issue that introduced the all-new, all-different X-Men team. It reprints the original Giant-Size X-Men #1 alongside a modern tribute issue, Giant-Size X-Men #1 (2015), which features a new story by writer Jason Aaron and a roster of artists paying homage to the classic lineup. The collection also includes a selection of variant covers and behind-the-scenes material from the original issue's creation.

"Second Genesis" delivers a powerful, emotionally charged reunion in this 40th anniversary special, as Cyclops confronts the shocking revelation that Vulcan is not only his long-lost brother but also a survivor from a forgotten team of X-Men who perished on Krakoa. Written by Ed Brubaker and brought to life by Trevor Hairsine’s dynamic art and Scott Hanna’s sharp inks, the story unfolds with tension and gravity, culminating in a haunting moment when Professor X, unable to access his powers, must face the truth through silence. Alex Ross’s iconic cover captures the weight of the moment, making this a must-read for longtime fans.
