☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In "E is for Extinction: one of three," Cassandra Nova orchestrates a sinister push to expand her army of advanced Sentinels, while Hank McCoy pushes the limits of Cerebra’s power—only to inadvertently open a psychic doorway that lets Cassandra Nova breach Charles Xavier’s mind.
In the aftermath of Genosha’s devastation, Jean and Hank race through the wreckage to save Emma, while the weight of sixteen million lost lives hangs heavy in the air. With the world reeling, Charles makes a bold, unprecedented choice—going public with his true identity as a mutant, setting off a chain of consequences no one can predict.
In "The Man from Room X," Domino calls the X-Men to Hong Kong after the murder of Riaque, pulling them into a web of mystery that unravels a dangerous conspiracy tied to John Sublime’s Third Species project and a captive mutant known as Xorn. The story unfolds with sharp tension and a sense of creeping dread, as secrets buried in the past begin to surface.
In "Danger Rooms," the X-Men face a crisis when Xavier’s secret school draws a massive influx of mutant students and angry protestors. When Hank uncovers the horrifying truth that Cassandra Nova has seized Xavier’s body, his warning comes too late—leaving the team to confront a threat that’s already inside their sanctuary.
In "Germ Free Generation: one of three," Scott and Emma confront John Sublime, whose chilling theories about artificially created mutants unravel into a sinister plot to exploit students as organ donors. Meanwhile, Angel Salvadore is cast out by her father and hunted, caught in a wave of anti-mutant fear fueled by Sublime’s dangerous rhetoric.
In "Germ Free Generation: two of three," Jean faces a terrifying assault on the X-Mansion as John Sublime's mutant hunters close in, leaving her to defend the new students alone. Meanwhile, Wolverine moves through the shadows, tracking down Angel before her captors can exploit her.
In "Germ Free Generation: three of three," Wolverine and Angel return to the X-Mansion to find Jean battling a relentless group of mutant hunters—her power flickering with the ancient, untamed force of the Phoenix. As Emma and Scott confront the enigmatic John Sublime, the truth of his demise unravels a deeper conspiracy, leaving Hank to awaken with a revelation that upends everything: Charles Xavier’s consciousness now resides within the failing body of Cassandra Nova.
In "Imperial," Cassandra Nova, wearing Professor Xavier’s body, pilots the Shi'ar invasion fleet toward Earth, forcing the X-Men to confront the terrifying reality of a betrayal from within. With time running out and the line between ally and enemy blurred, the team must stand together against a threat that wears the face of their greatest mentor.
In "Losers," the X-Men brace for the looming threat of Cassandra Nova as they rally the new students to stand together. Jean Grey makes a bold, intimate choice, drawing Xavier’s entire consciousness into herself to protect it.
