X-Men Epic Collection: Lifedeath

Chris Claremont’s decades-spanning run on the X-Men continues, now joined by artistic legend John Roimita Jr.!
John Romita Jr. joins Chris Claremont as the X-Men’s chart-topping adventures continue! Drama abounds as Cyclops heads off on his honeymoon with Madelyne Pryor, Wolverine’s relationship with Mariko takes a turn for the worse and Kitty Pryde is kidnapped and forced to marry the Morlock Caliban. Meanwhile, Rogue is public enemy number one and anti-mutant sentiment threatens the passage of a law that will strip every mutant in the United States of their rights. There’s no shortage of action either: Colossus battles Juggernaut, Mystique and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants return and Rachel Summers arrives on the scene. And in a miniseries with major implications for both characters, Wolverine and Kitty Pryde head to Japan and go to war with the yakuza. This volume is topped off by Claremont and Barry Windsor-Smith’s stunning “Lifedeath.”
