Reprints #1-10 of the original X-Men volume. Contains the origin and first adventures of the X-Men!

While the cover says X-Men/Brood: Day of Wrath, the indicia is titled as "X-Men vs. The Brood". A two-issue limited-series featuring the X-Men fighting for the life of Hannah Connover against Brood assassins sent to kill her. This is sort of a continuation of a story that started way back in The Uncanny X-Men #232. Drawn by Bryan Hitch!

Taking place before the X-Men # 1, we see more ambitious younger Professor Xavier, as he travels to meet the mutants and prepares his school with the help of federal agent named Duncan. At the same time, we see that Hank Mcoy is a local high school football hero, and Warren wants to use their wings to help in the fight against crime.
