5.0 out of 5 stars it just keeps getting better, August 25, 2009

This review is from: Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 2 (Hardcover)

After a slightly shaky start, the New X-Men (the international team that replaced most of the original teenagers) has a climatic battle against the Sentinels in Marvel Masterworks: Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1. This volume starts immediately afterwards, featuring the first appearance of the Phoenix, a titanic grudge match with the Juggernaut, a lop-sided bout with Magneto, Firelord, the return of Eric the Red and the introduction of the Starjammers! There's also a fight with (and first appearance of) Weapon Alpha, who vows to return with the rest of Alpha Flight, a promise kept in Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 3 (Reprints Uncanny X-men 111-121).

Creators Chris Claremont, Dave Cockrum and John Byrne are all at the top of their game in this volume. The action is fast and furious, while allowing for personal interaction between this team of fascinating individuals.

These volumes are part of the reason why the X-Men gained their legions of fans.
