Whedon, Claremont, Jim Lee, Millar, and Cassaday: Four Decades of X in 6 Jam-Packed Collections
Uncanny X-Men Omnibus, Astonishing X-Men HC Headline Spring X-Men Collections

Coming this Spring, Marvel is offering collections of some of the greatest X-Men stories ever written, from the classics of Chris Claremont and John Byrne along to the instant classics of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday.

For the first time ever, you can hold in your hands one oversized volume of the first 5 years of Chris Claremont's trail-blazing run of Uncanny X-Men in the Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol. 1 HC. Shown here is the all-new variant cover to the omnibus by new artist John Watson.

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol.1 HC also features the original letters page, newly remastered coloring, and tons of other extras. It collects the introduction of the all-new, all-different X-Men from Giant-Size X-Men #1 plus X-Men #94-131 and Annual #3.

Switching gears from classic to instant classic, Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's first year on Astonishing X-Men appears in one deluxe hardcover. See what many are calling the best X-Men in years as everybody's favorite mutants must deal with the news of a mutant cure, the return of an X-Man thought long gone, and an unexpected threat from within the mansion. Astonishing X-Men Vol.1 HC collects the first twelve issues of this astonishing run.

The Ultimate Universe has grown to be a force of creative and commercial success in the comics industry, thanks in large part to the launch of Ultimate X-Men. Now you can own the first 12 issues of Ultimate X-Men as well as the rare ½ issue in the Ultimate X-Men Ultimate Collection Book 1 TPB, written by Mark Millar (Wolverine, Ultimates 2) with an all new cover by Leinil Francis Yu, including art by industry greats Andy and Adam Kubert and others.

No fan of the X-Men should be without X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga TPB, a new printing of the classic X-Men tale that is arguably THE greatest X-Men story ever told. Chris Claremont and John Byrne solidified their marks as legends with this arc of X-Men Vol.1 #129-137 where the X-Men have to decide what to do when one of their own members, Jean Grey, becomes a threat powerful enough to destroy entire galaxies.

One of the definitive X-Men creative teams of the 1990s, Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, launched an all-new X-Men title in 1991 to enormous success. X-Men: Mutant Genesis TPB collects the first 7 issues of that series featuring the X-Men going toe-to-toe with some of their greatest foes including Magneto, the Acolytes, Sabretooth, and Omega Red.

Before she was an Avenger or a New Warrior, Firestar had to contend with the current X-Man the White Queen back in her villainous days. X-Men: Firestar Digest collects Firestar #1-4 and guest-stars the New Mutants as the teenage mutant learns how to be the hero that eventually made her one of Earth's Mightiest.

This Spring, be on the lookout for these X-Men trade paperbacks, digests, and hardcovers collecting some of the greatest X-Men stories of the last four decades.
