About this Collection

This Marvel Masterworks volume collects the earliest adventures of the second generation of X-Men, reprinting Giant-Size X-Men #1 and Uncanny X-Men #94-100. It introduces the new international team assembled by Professor X, including Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and Thunderbird, as they battle threats like the resurrected Krakoa and the mutant-hunting Sentinels. Len Wein and Chris Claremont's scripts, paired with Dave Cockrum's dynamic art, mark the beginning of the legendary run that would define the X-Men for decades.

"Second Genesis" marks a pivotal moment in the X-Men’s legacy, reuniting Chris Claremont’s legendary storytelling with Dave Cockrum’s iconic art in this essential Marvel Masterworks collection. When the X-Men face off against the X-Sentinels to rescue their captured teammates, the battle pushes them to the brink—especially Jean, who must 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 tension of the moment with dramatic flair.
