☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection wraps up the X-Men: First Class series, a retro-styled take on the original team's early adventures. Set during the team's formative years, it features the classic five — Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Iceman, Angel, and Beast — alongside newer recruits like Storm, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine, as they face threats from Magneto to Krakoa. Written by Jeff Parker with art by various creators, this volume brings a sense of closure to the youthful era of Marvel's mutants.
In "Senioritis," the X-Men face their ultimate test not in the real world, but deep within Jean Grey’s mind, where they confront a haunting gallery of past enemies. Written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Amilcar Pinna with inks by Roger Cruz and colors by Val Staples, this pivotal issue marks the team’s graduation from Xavier’s School—setting the stage for a new chapter as Scott, Jean, and Bobby are sent to Krakoa on a mysterious mission. The cover by Roger Cruz captures the tension and transition with striking detail.
In "Senioritis," the X-Men are pulled into Jean Grey’s vivid psychic dream, where their usual training takes a surreal turn. The next day, they face a Danger Room filled with advanced robots modeled after past foes, leading to a high-stakes battle that spills into the real world—where an unexpected visitor from Cyclops’s past arrives to stir the chaos.
In "Finals Part 2: Beginning of the End," the X-Men face off against Frederick in a high-stakes clash that takes a bizarre turn when a spectral Juggernaut offers unexpected aid. As Jean Grey taps into Cerebro to locate Professor X, the team instead confronts a shifting heap of scrap metal that begins to resemble Magneto—leaving them to wonder what’s real and what’s a trap.
In "Finals Part 3: Higher Learning," the X-Men face off against a bizarre, junk-filled figure resembling Magneto before returning to the Mansion to find Professor X has returned. With graduation looming, the team grapples with their futures—until a sudden, ghostly appearance by the Juggernaut knocks Jean out, leading Cyclops to realize their encounters with past foes may be tied to Jean’s own mind.
In "The Mind of Jean Grey," the X-Men journey into the depths of Jean Grey’s psyche to confront a surreal gallery of their past enemies, testing their unity and resolve. As Jean struggles to regain control, the team faces their greatest challenge yet—not in battle, but within the mind of their own teammate. With the graduation from Xavier’s Academy at stake, the future of the team hangs in the balance as Scott, Jean, and Bobby are sent to Krakoa to investigate a mysterious new mutant presence.
