☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers the core chapters of the 'Zero Tolerance' crossover event, which saw the mutant-hunting Prime Sentinels and their human director, Bastion, launch a coordinated assault against the X-Men and all mutantkind. The storyline, originally published in 1997, spans issues of the main X-titles and ties together the team's desperate struggle against a government-sanctioned anti-mutant initiative. This 2000 edition compiles the essential narrative from the event's primary installments.
In a tense stand-off, Jubilee holds her ground against Bastion’s chilling deception, refusing to believe he’s truly killed the X-Men—even as he tries to break her with false memories. Meanwhile, Banshee races to uncover the truth behind Black Tom’s disappearance with the Gen X kids, while echoes of past battles linger in flashbacks featuring Storm, Iceman, and others.
In the opening salvo of *X-Men: Zero Tolerance*, the Prime Sentinels launch a brutal assault on the X-Mansion, overwhelming the X-Men in a devastating display of force. As Bastion breaches the mansion’s defenses, he turns his attention to Professor X, taunting him with the chilling knowledge that he’s close to breaking the Shi'ar language—giving him access to every secret the Professor has kept.
In the Face of It" delivers a pulse-pounding showdown at the abandoned Hulkbuster base, where the X-Men are captured by Bastion and his Prime Sentinels. With Jubilee watching in horror and Wolverine seemingly dead, the team’s fate hangs in the balance—until a sudden burst of survival and fury rekindles the fight.
In "The End of Days," Sabra narrowly evades the relentless Prime Sentinels, racing to survive an assault that marks the beginning of a terrifying new era. As Iceman and Cecilia Reyes face their own harrowing trials, betrayal looms from an unexpected source—Charlotte Jones, a former friend of Bobby’s, whose allegiance shifts in a moment that changes everything. With Professor X watching from afar and the X-Men scattered, the line between ally and enemy blurs in a world where survival is no longer guaranteed.
In the scorched desert of New Mexico, Wolverine and the X-Men flee from Bastion’s relentless Prime Sentinels when they stumble upon a blind stunt pilot receiving experimental treatment at a remote clinic. As Logan digs into the clinic’s hidden cybernetic upgrades, he uncovers unsettling ties to Operation Zero Tolerance—raising urgent questions about who’s really behind the hunt and what the X-Men are truly running from.
Cable and Caliban fight their way through the X-Mansion’s fortified halls, racing against time to escape Zero Tolerance’s clutches. As Cable returns to destroy Xavier’s files, Bastion’s sudden arrival cuts short his mission—now they’re trapped in a deadly siege with no easy way out.
In "Roadside Attractions," Domino’s altered state becomes the key to a desperate rescue as X-Force scrambles to free their captured teammates from Zero Tolerance’s grasp. With Warpath stranded in an alternate dimension, he must confront the Vanisher while the rest of the team battles Prime Sentinels and the enigmatic Gryaznova.
In the desolate stretches of the New Mexico desert, Wolverine and Jubilee face off against a Prime Sentinel in a desperate bid to survive—just as the X-Men close in on a clinic secretly turning patients into weapons. With the truth about Zero Tolerance’s experiments exposed, Bastion triggers the final phase of his plan, unleashing the Sentinel program embedded in Mustang himself.
In the aftermath of a brutal clash at the Hulkbuster base, Wolverine races to save G.W. Bridge from the Prime Sentinels' programming—without resorting to killing the friend he's come to trust. As the X-Men regroup and fly home, the team is stunned when they discover a hidden bomb in Cyclops’s chest, planted by the enigmatic Bastion. With SHIELD closing in and the stakes rising, the survivors must confront the cost of loyalty and the shadows that still linger in the light.
In "Homecoming," the X-Men return to a hollowed-out X-Mansion, only to find their home stripped bare by Zero Tolerance—and Scott Summers carrying a deadly nano-bomb. With Jean Grey, Storm, Wolverine, and the rest of the team racing against time, tensions rise when Juggernaut arrives, claiming his half-brother's legacy and ready to settle old scores.
