About this Collection

This 1996 trade paperback collects the sprawling crossover event 'Mutant Massacre' that ran through the X-Men family of titles in the mid-1980s. The story follows the Marauders, a team of assassins hired by Mister Sinister, as they launch a brutal attack on the Morlocks, a community of mutant outcasts living in the sewers beneath Manhattan. The volume gathers the core chapters from Uncanny X-Men, X-Factor, New Mutants, and Thor, chronicling the X-teams' desperate efforts to stop the massacre and deal with its devastating aftermath.

In "The Morning After," Thor stands defiant amid the wreckage of the Morlock tunnels, trying to shield the dying Angel from the Marauders' relentless assault. As the dust settles, Balder awakens Odin’s second Raven, and Kevin and Mick find unexpected refuge with Volstagg’s family—though Thor’s own struggle is far from over, cursed with brittle bones after Hela’s wrath and still reeling from Blockbuster’s blow. Written by Walt Simonson and illustrated with powerful detail by Sal Buscema, this pivotal issue closes the Mutant Massacre arc with a haunting, fiery reckoning. The cover by Terry Dodson and Kevin Conrad captures the aftermath in stark, emotional strokes.
