Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men #2

In "Like a Phoenix, from the Ashes!", the X-Men crash-land in Jamaica Bay, where Jean Grey awakens with terrifying new power. To help her recover, Professor X sends the team to Scotland, where Banshee’s ancestral castle awaits — only to find it already home to his cousin Tom and his friend Juggy.

When Storm is overwhelmed by claustrophobia, she’s pulled into a haunting memory of her past, reliving the moment her powers first awakened. With Black Tom and the unstoppable Juggernaut wreaking havoc, the X-Men struggle to hold the line—each facing their own limits in the face of overwhelming force.

In "The Gentleman's Name Is Magneto," the X-Men arrive at Muir Island to check on its security—only to find Eric the Red has resurrected Magneto in full adulthood, much to the dismay of Maggie. The team must navigate the tension of a powerful mutant returned from the past, with no clear answers about what comes next.

In "Phoenix Unleashed!", Eric manipulates Firelord into aiding him in a brutal assault on the X-Men, forcing Jean Grey to confront the overwhelming power of the Phoenix once more. With Lilandra stranded on Earth and captured by Eric, Professor Xavier sends the team through a space portal to rescue her, setting off a high-stakes mission that tests their courage and unity.

In "Where No X-Man Has Gone Before!", the X-Men race across the cosmos to rescue Lilandra from her treacherous cousin, who seeks to harness the M'Kraan Crystal’s power—only to face resistance from the Imperial Guard. When the Starjammers arrive unexpectedly, the team must navigate alien politics and sudden alliances in a high-stakes mission beyond Earth.

After saving the universe, the X-Men enjoy a rare moment of peace at the Mansion—until Weapon Alpha strikes, determined to reclaim Wolverine and send him back to Canada.
