COVER BY: GIL KANE WRITER: CHRIS CLAREMONT LEN WEIN PENCILS: JOHN BYRNE DAVE COCKRUM COLORED BY: WESLEY WONG THE STORY: When a young writer named Chris Claremont took over X-Men in 1976, few fans could predict the incredible impact he would have on the Marvel Comics series. With a flair for realistic dialogue, heartfelt storylines and hard-hitting action, Claremont's writing breathed life into the characters. In collaboration with artists Dave Cockrum and John Byrne, Claremont crafted a run still heralded as a definitive era on the book. UNCANNY X-MEN became more than just another super-hero title: this diverse cast of mutants fighting against prejudice and intolerance has resonated in the hearts of millions of devoted readers. Now, the first five years of their landmark run on UNCANNY X-MEN are collected in one oversized volume. This keepsake edition also includes all original letters pages, newly remastered coloring and other uncanny extras! Collects UNCANNY X-MEN #94-131 and ANNUAL #3, and GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1. 848 PGS./Rated T+ SUGGESTED FOR TEENS AND UP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (/articles/719/719551p1.html) Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol. 1 Review Legendary, magical, superb... whatever you call it, this book is worth every penny. by Richard George July 18, 2006 - If a series is lucky, it is blessed with a magical run. These runs define the book and the characters for years, perhaps even decades to come. Marvel's Uncanny X-Men had such a stroke of luck when Chris Claremont came on board. With Dave Cockrum and John Byrne at his side, Claremont not only revived a title from the brink of extinction, he propelled it to the top of Marvel's properties. The first (and we can hope not the last) Uncanny X-Men Omnibus takes readers on that journey, starting with Giant-Size X-Men #1 special and the following 30+ issues of the ongoing series. Reading this series not only clearly demonstrates the talent of all those involved, but also manages to illustrate in no uncertain terms what makes the X-Men so compelling. When Chris Claremont stepped on board X-Men it had just been authorized for fresh content. The series had not been selling well enough to justify new stories, and by some stroke of luck had not been outright cancelled. Launching with a 64-page special and moving (initially) into a bi-monthly schedule, Marvel wanted to prove to readers that these mutants were worth an investment. Giant-Size X-Men #1 rapidly established a number of characters. Older characters such as Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Sunfire and Banshee also returned to the title. Len Wein (writer of Giant as well as the plotter of the first two new issues of Uncanny), with artist Dave Cockrum, developed a new team and several new characters. Wolverine was introduced from the pages of The Incredible Hulk. New characters included Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm and Thunderbird. Giant-Size represents a passing of the torch of sorts. Older X-Men including Angel, Iceman, Jean Grey, Havok and Polaris were present in the story, but opt out of participating in the new roster as of issue #94. Wein clearly wanted to show that this team, aside from the established leadership (Cyclops and Professor X), was dif...
