About this Collection

This collection brings together the four-issue miniseries X-Men: First Class: Band of Brothers, published by Marvel in 2008. Written by Jeff Parker with art by various creators, the story focuses on the early days of the original five X-Men—Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, and Angel—as they face new threats and navigate their growing bonds as a team. It's a nostalgic, character-driven adventure set in the classic Silver Age era of the X-Men.

In "The Catalyst," the X-Men face a chilling twist when their powers vanish after a mysterious meteor strips them of their abilities—only to return with explosive force just as Sentinels target Wanda and Pietro. Written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Roger Cruz, this pivotal 2008 issue sees the team racing to protect their friends, their powers surging back in time to repel the threat. The cover by Eric Nguyen captures the intensity of the moment, as the X-Men confront the aftermath of a cosmic shift they barely understand.
