About this Collection

This collection kicks off Grant Morrison's celebrated run on the X-Men, redefining the team for a new era. It gathers the first six issues of New X-Men (2001), introducing a more stylized, sci-fi approach to mutantkind with Charles Xavier's school facing new threats from within and without.

Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Sciver kick off a bold new era with New X-Men #1, a pivotal issue where anti-mutant fear surges in the wake of John Sublime’s controversial manifesto, The Third Species. As Scott and Emma confront Sublime, his true intentions—orchestrating an attack on the school to harvest mutant organs—begin to unfold, while Angel Salvadore is cast out by her father and seized by mutant hunters, setting the stage for a fractured, dangerous world. The cover by Frank Quitely and Tim Townsend captures the tension with striking, haunting detail.

Anti-mutant hysteria escalates partly due to the influence of John Sublime and his book "The Third Species," which suggests that mutants can be artificially created. Scott and Emma go to meet with Sublime but he attacks them and reveals his plan to invade the school and use the students as mutant organ donors. Elsewhere, Angel Salvadore is thrown out of her house by her father and captured by mutant hunters.
