This book reprints Uncanny X-Men 174-179, as well as a short, cheesy "Classic X-Men" story about Storm meeting Jean Grey. It's a direct continuation of Target:Angel, which you should read to understand all the subplots.

The book is small and black-and-white, but it has some great stories for X-Men fans. These include the marriage of Cyclops and Madylene, Mystique trying to get Rogue away from the X-Men, a battle against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants where Colossus gets deep-frozen, and the return of the Morlocks. A good extension of the Essential X-Men series.

This volume of the "Backpack Marvels" series reprints Uncanny X-Men # 174-179, as well as a short but cheesy Stan Lee story about the first meeting of Storm and Jean Grey. (This book is a direct continuation from Target: Angel, which you should read first if you want to understand all the subplots). High points include the wedding of Cyclops and Madelyne, a fight against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants that goes badly for Colossus, Storm's continued character changes, the development of Mystique, and the return of the Morlocks, among others. A great continuation of the Essential X-Men series.
