Chris Claremont

The complete X-Tinction Agenda crossover in one oversized hardcover. Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson reunite X-Men, X-Factor and New Mutants against Cameron Hodge and the mutant-enslaving state of Genosha, with early Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld art. The turning point that closes the 80s era and sets up the 90s relaunch.

X-Men: Inferno Omnibus turns New York into a demonic pressure cooker where private trauma, mutant drama and supernatural catastrophe all erupt at once. Chris Claremont, Louise Simonson, Jon Bogdanove and Marc Silvestri make the crossover feel grotesque, emotional and huge, with Madelyne Pryor’s pain at the centre of the fire. For a shelf, this is one of the clearest examples of the X-line turning private pain into a line-wide event. The horror matters because it grows from relationships, betrayal and loss before it becomes spectacle.

X-Men: Fall of the Mutants Omnibus captures an era where the X-Men, X-Factor and New Mutants all face transformations that feel existential rather than cosmetic. Chris Claremont, Louise Simonson, Jon Bogdanove and Marc Silvestri build stories about sacrifice, identity and what survives after the old shape of a team breaks. The volume is strong because it treats change as something frightening and necessary at once. Each team faces a different version of loss, making the crossover feel like a turning point rather than a branding exercise.
