You asked for it and by a special arrangement with Marvel Comics, Wizard delivers you the Top 10 X-Men Comics of all time in one special hardcover volume.

Return to the magic of these timeless tales starring the X-Men:

The DARK PHOENIX SAGA from Uncanny X-Men #135-137. This is easily the most popular and controversial X-Men story ever told. As a special bonus, this hardcover also collects the original 5-page unedited ending that Marvel has never reissued in a book.

DAYS OF FUTURE PAST from Uncanny X-Men #141-142, the X-Men, in the future, must confront the mutant hunting Sentinels that have destroyed every super human in the Marvel Universe.

The POWER OF PROTEUS from Uncanny X-Men #126-128 is another compelling tale that has never been part of any X-Men collection.

DEMON from Uncanny X-Men #143 is artist John Byrne's final issue. Kitty Pryde comes face-to-face with a nightmarish creature obsessed with seeing the X-Men's newest recruit dead.

I, MAGNETO from Uncanny X-Men #150 sees the stage set for the ultimate human/mutant race war.

In addition to the 10 influential issues contained in this landmark volume, the Wizard Best Of X-Men Limited Deluxe Hardcover will also feature exclusive behind-the-scenes commentary from Kurt Busiek (JLA/Avengers) and Jim Shooter (former Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief) along with a new introduction by former X-Men artist Jim Lee.

This historic event is completed with a new stunning Wolverine cover by artist Greg Horn along with additional new artwork by Ultimate X-Men artist David Finch.
