About this ebook

Collects Uncanny X-Men (1981) #176-188, Magik (1983) #1-4, material from Marvel Fanfare (1982) #40. John Romita Jr. joins Chris Claremont as the Uncanny X-Men's chart-topping adventures continue! Drama abounds as Cyclops heads off on his honeymoon with Madelyne Pryor, Wolverine's relationship with Mariko takes a turn for the worse, and Kitty Pryde is kidnapped and forced to marry the Morlock Caliban. Meanwhile, Rogue is public enemy number one and anti-mutant sentiment threatens the passage of a law that will strip every mutant in the United States of their rights. There's no shortage of action either: Colossus battles Juggernaut, Mystique and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants return, Rachel Summers arrives on the scene, and the Dire Wraiths attack. Topped off by Claremont and Barry Windsor-Smith's stunning classic story "Lifedeath" and the Magik miniseries, there's no shortage of mutant masterworks!

Ratings and reviews

Get this for the small moments. Rogue faces her sins. Colossus and Juggernaut get into a bar fight. Storm and Forge grapple with losing her powers. It doesn't matter that the villains are dumb, when our heroes have never been more relatable.

This "retelling" is ok, but nothing can replace the original comics. I owned nearly every single issue from # 94 to current of the uncanny X-Men. The brood, the mutant massacres, the morlocks, and so many other great story lines.
