The X-Men's blockbuster 90s era is one of the most beloved and monumental in the medium's history, and this omnibus collects it from the beginning! The original X-Men have returned to the fold, and the roster is bigger than ever - all the better for an epic rematch with their archenemy, Magneto! Cyclops and Storm lead two separate field squads, with Scott taking charge of the Blue team and Ororo commanding the Gold. The Blues face threats including Omega Red, Mojo and - with a helping hand from Ghost Rider - the relentless Brood! The Golds meet the man called Bishop as he arrives from the future with a deadly secret! But when Stryfe's long-simmering plans for vengeance explode, Professor X hovers near death's door - and both X-Men teams, X-Factor and X-Force are pitted against one another in a maddening bid to avoid X-Cution!
