Essential X-Men Vol. 2
Marvel Comics · 2002 · Ungraded · Chris Claremont · John Byrne
Essential X-Men Volume 2 collects one of the most celebrated runs in Marvel history, reprinting X-Men issues 120 through 141, Uncanny X-Men 142 through 144, and Annuals 3 and 4 in one chunky black and white trade paperback. This volume includes the legendary Days of Future Past storyline, the Wendigo and Alpha Flight appearances, Arcade, and the introduction of Kitty Pryde, making it an essential read for any serious X-Men collector. It sits at the absolute peak of the Claremont era and covers the issues that defined mutant storytelling for decades.
Chris Claremont and John Byrne are widely regarded as the definitive X-Men creative team, and the material gathered here represents the height of their collaboration, supplemented by art from George Perez, John Romita Jr., Terry Austin, and Brent Anderson. Days of Future Past alone has inspired two major film adaptations including the 2014 blockbuster X-Men Days of Future Past, driving renewed collector interest in everything connected to that storyline. This volume gives readers direct access to that landmark material at an affordable price point.
- ⭐ This volume includes Days of Future Past, originally published in Uncanny X-Men 141 and 142, one of the most influential stories in Marvel history and the basis for the 2014 film of the same name.
