Marvel & DC Omnibus

X-Men: The Hidden Years Omnibus returns to the gap between classic X-Men eras, with Roy Thomas and John Byrne giving the original team new adventures that feel deliberately close to the Silver Age mood. The pleasure is continuity repair with affection: familiar voices, old-school danger and a missing chapter filled in with care. The book is deliberately old-school, and that is its charm. Byrne and Thomas use the missing-years premise to add movement without trying to make the original team something it never was.
