About this Collection

This Marvel Premiere Classic hardcover collects the 1991 X-Men #1-7 storyline that launched the second volume of the series. Written by Chris Claremont and drawn by Jim Lee, the story pits the original X-Men against Magneto's newly formed Acolytes on the mutant refuge of Genosha, while also introducing a new team lineup featuring Cyclops, Wolverine, Iceman, and others. The collection marks a pivotal moment in X-Men history, blending high-stakes action with the franchise's signature themes of prejudice and survival.

In "Rubicon," the X-Men Blue Team finds themselves captured and brought to the remote stronghold of Asteroid M, where Magneto confronts a shocking revelation about his past—Moira’s role in altering his genetic makeup as a child. With the threat of the Magneto Protocols looming, the rest of the X-Folk must act fast to rescue their teammates. Written by Jim Lee and Chris Claremont, with dynamic art by Jim Lee and inks by Scott Williams, this pivotal issue delivers high-stakes tension and deepening character mystery. The cover, penciled by Jim Lee and inked by Scott Williams, captures the gravity of the moment.
