Summary
Chris Claremont teams with a new series artist， Marvel legend John Romita Jr。， in this massive Omnibus collection of the X-Men's uncanniest adventures！ Milestones abound， including the introduction of Rachel Summers， Cyclops' daughter from "Days of Future Past"; a bruising battle between Colossus and Juggernaut; and a descent into the Morlocks' mutant underground。 Rogue emerges as a featured player as Mystique menaces the team， while Selene and the Hellfi re Club make their move。 This is all set against a rising tide of anti-mutant hysteria that threatens to strip every mutant in the United States of their rights。 All this plus a double-sized anniversary issue， the Kitty Pryde & Wolverine miniseries and timeless work by Paul Smith and Barry Windsor-Smith！

Another great entry in the world of the Uncanny X-men。 So much stuff goes down in here。 Battles with the Brotherhood of Evil mutants。 The battle between Mystique and the X-men over Rogue， Kitty Pryde dealing with the promise she made to Caliban and the Morlocks and plus Storm really had some things going on with her。 The issue “Lifedeath” was really good。 Storm dealing with a tragedy and the first appearance of Forge。 The Kitty Pryde & Wolverine story was petty cool as well。 Even Loki makes an a Another great entry in the world of the Uncanny X-men。 So much stuff goes down in here。 Battles with the Brotherhood of Evil mutants。 The battle between Mystique and the X-men over Rogue， Kitty Pryde dealing with the promise she made to Caliban and the Morlocks and plus Storm really had some things going on with her。 The issue “Lifedeath” was really good。 Storm dealing with a tragedy and the first appearance of Forge。 The Kitty Pryde & Wolverine story was petty cool as well。 Even Loki makes an appearance with some “gift”。 Of course there’s some nonsense that comes along with that。 Can’t believe Colossus was ready to let his sister die to take this “gift” Loki was offering。 Man I’ll always look at Colossus differently now。 John Romita JR’s art looks so much better here in this era than it does nowadays。 I wonder why he decided to start giving everyone square faces all of a sudden？ He definitely needs to go back this style。 So now I’m waiting and hoping Marvel makes an Uncanny X-men omnibus vol 5！！ C’mon Marvel， get it done！！ 。。。more

Such good comics I bought them all again in a nice big omnibus edition。。。 This book collects the first X-Men comics I ever bought， back in 1984， when they cost 25p each！

Decisions （176）。 Ah， the days when X-Men was all subplot， with focuses here on both the Marauders and the Government。 The main plot， of Scott and Madelyne fighting off comically dangerous sea creatures actually isn't that good [3/5]。Brotherhood （177-178）。 A really lovely story of the Brotherhood's no-holds barred attack on the X-Men， but it's still all about character: Mystique and Rogue。 We also get some shocking， but entirely fair， apparent problems for both Petter and Kitty。 All around， enthr Decisions （176）。 Ah， the days when X-Men was all subplot， with focuses here on both the Marauders and the Government。 The main plot， of Scott and Madelyne fighting off comically dangerous sea creatures actually isn't that good [3/5]。Brotherhood （177-178）。 A really lovely story of the Brotherhood's no-holds barred attack on the X-Men， but it's still all about character: Mystique and Rogue。 We also get some shocking， but entirely fair， apparent problems for both Petter and Kitty。 All around， enthralling and enjoyable [5/5]。What Happened to Kitty？ （179）。 A continuation of the Morlock saga that treats everyone as characters with hard choices [4+/5]。Whose Life Is It？ （180）。 Another subplot issue。 This one focuses on Kitty dealing with Ororo's changes， and shows how much a character comic X-Men was at its height。 But we get Peter pouting and the intro of Douglas Ramsey （already a supporting character for a few issues in New Mutants and the lead-in to Secret Wars。 Somehow， despite being a comic with so few endings， it's intriguing [4+/5]。Dragons in Love （181）。 The return of the X-Men。 They fight a dragon in Tokyo [3/5]。Madness （182）。 A magnificent story of Rogue overcome by Carol's memories and temporarily living her life。 Great depth for the character and a great reminder of what she's done [5/5]。He'll Never Make Me Cry （183）。 A full issue about the repercussions of Peter falling in love during the Secret Wars。 Wow。 They don't make them like this any more [4+/5]。The Past of Future Days （184）。 The introduction of Forge！ The appearance of Rachel in the modern-day X-Men！ The return of Selene！ It's truly impressive how many great characters Claremont stuffed in a single issue。 And we get a tragic little mini-story about Rachel's arrival。 Another fine comic [5/5]。Public Enemy （185）。 The story of the government's assault on Rogue gains weight because of the touching personal connection between Rogue and Storm [5/5]。Lifedeath （186）。 An amazing story about Storm coping with the loss of her powers and about Forge coping with his complicity therein （as well as his past）。 We also get the brutal intro of the wraiths who will take up the next few issues， to give it all some action and space [5+/5]。Wraith （187-188）。 Pretty much the finale of the storylines begun in Lifedeath， as Forge and Storm solidify the shape of their relationship and the wraith strike at least。 There's some exciting danger and some great kick-ass-edness from Storm， but the story begins dragging in the second issue， when we have a long fight against something supernatural whose only good bit is seeing the X-Men's magical allies come to the rescue， reminding us of the larger world [4/5]。 。。。more

The John Romita Jr。 run of X-Men gets better every time I read it。 You can see why Grant Morrison， in his survey of comics， chooses this era to praise: every issue has juicy character development and the status quo actually changes， which is very rare for mainstream comics。 It's no Cockrum， Byrne or Smith in terms of sheer quality per issue， due to the absence of a strong-willed collaborator to check Claremont's self-indulgence， but the crazy ideas in this era are legitimately new and interestin The John Romita Jr。 run of X-Men gets better every time I read it。 You can see why Grant Morrison， in his survey of comics， chooses this era to praise: every issue has juicy character development and the status quo actually changes， which is very rare for mainstream comics。 It's no Cockrum， Byrne or Smith in terms of sheer quality per issue， due to the absence of a strong-willed collaborator to check Claremont's self-indulgence， but the crazy ideas in this era are legitimately new and interesting。 Storm gets a mohawk， loses her powers， and flirts with someone。 Mystique graduates to full A-list villain， dances with Destiny （as a man！） and teases being Nightcrawler's mother。 Kitty breaks up with Colossus， goes to Japan， and grows up about 5 years in 5 issues。 Rogue has actual trauma due to her super powers。 Juggernaut goes blue-collar。 Rachel has PTSD （although it's not executed very well）。 The villains are more forgettable - Selene and Loki don't even belong in the X-Men， while Nimrod goes nowhere fast - but there's a ton of character here， made possible by a radical idea in superhero comics， the forced exit of the team leaders。 I only wish this era had lasted longer， because Claremont's effort to recapture the unpredictable magic in the Outback era didn't go over nearly as well。I haven't mentioned the art， because it's totally fine。 Paul Smith knocks it out of the park as usual， but Romita and Milgrom's most notable contribution is the absence of the male gaze， which you don't notice until it's gone。 This is an X-book where the women are front and center for 700 pages， and Professor X has the innuendo and the sexy outfits。 。。。more
