Marked by progressive politics and personal conflicts, these All-New, All-Different X-Men redefined the concept of the super-hero team. In these pages, for the first time, you'll see Wolverine throw down with Cyclops, experience the shocking death of an X-Man, watch as the new team attempts to tear apart the old and bear witness to the sacrifice of Jean Grey. With all-new restoration and an expansive section of rarities, character designs, original art and more, this is the last word on the mutant milestones that set the table for a comics revolution!
