About this Collection

This Modern Era Epic Collection opens Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's acclaimed run on Astonishing X-Men, collecting the 'Gifted' story arc. The team—Cyclops, Emma Frost, Beast, Wolverine, and Storm—faces a new mutant threat while dealing with the return of a familiar enemy, all while Kitty Pryde rejoins the X-Men. It's a defining era that balances character-driven drama with high-stakes superhero action.

In "Exogenetic Part One," the Astonishing X-Men face a terrifying new threat: genetically altered corpses attacking their base, culminating in a monstrous fusion of Brood and Krakoa. With the danger neutralized, the team launches a rescue mission and uncovers a massive cloaked vessel, where Wolverine and Armor board to investigate. Inside, they confront the shocking truth behind the attacks—the leader of Paradigm, a mutant long thought lost to the Phalanx. Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Phil Jimenez with inks by Andy Lanning, the issue's striking cover by Jimenez and Lanning captures the scale of this mutant mystery.
