☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Marvel Masterworks volume collects the pivotal transition from the original X-Men to the all-new, all-different team, featuring Giant-Size X-Men #1 and X-Men #94-100. It showcases the debut of the new international lineup—including Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine—as they face threats like the living island Krakoa and the mutant-hunting Sentinels under the creative direction of Len Wein, Chris Claremont, and Dave Cockrum. This collection marks the beginning of the iconic Claremont era that would define the X-Men for decades.
"Second Genesis" marks a pivotal moment in the X-Men saga, as the team faces off against the X-Sentinels in a desperate bid to rescue their captured allies. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with dynamic art by Dave Cockrum—both interior and cover—this 1989 Marvel Masterworks issue delivers high-stakes action and emotional weight, culminating in Jean Grey’s harrowing journey to guide a damaged shuttle back to Earth, knowing the effort may cost her everything. The cover, a striking collaboration by Gil Kane and Dave Cockrum, captures the intensity of the moment.
In "The Doomsmith Scenario!" from Marvel Masterworks #11, Cyclops remains behind as the original X-Men step down, tasked with guiding a new generation. When the villain Nefaria seizes control of the Valhalla air force base, the X-Men must move in to confront him—before his plans take flight.
In "Night of the Demon!", Scott’s grief over Thunderbird’s death opens a rift that unleashes an alien demon upon the X-Men, testing their unity and resolve. With Moira now staying at the X-Mansion and tensions rising, Lang’s ruthless pursuit of Project Armageddon puts Rossi in mortal danger.
In "My Brother, My Enemy!", Havok and Polaris are manipulated by the villainous Eric the Red, forcing them to battle their former teammates, the X-Men. As Xavier retreats to vacation following eerie dreams of a cosmic conflict, Jean returns to the team, setting the stage for a clash that tests loyalty, memory, and the bonds between siblings.
In "Deathstar, Rising!", the X-Men launch a desperate mission to rescue their teammates from SHIELD's orbital platform, only to confront a wave of Sentinels—some eerily modeled after the original X-Men themselves. With time running out and the stakes higher than ever, the team must push past their limits to stop an enemy that mirrors their own legacy.
In "Greater Love Hath No X-Man...", the X-Men face a desperate mission to rescue their captured teammates from the X-Sentinels aboard a crumbling space station. With the station failing and time running out, Jean must make a harrowing choice—piloting the shuttle back to Earth alone, knowing the immense psychic strain may cost her everything.
