The X-Men: Blue & Gold – Mutant Genesis hardcover omnibus is currently on sale at Amazon for $97.91, saving you 35% off the original price of $150.
If you've wanted this iconic collection for a while, this is its lowest price ever, so it may be a good time to finally pull the trigger. At over 1,000 pages, it'll take up quite a bit of space on your bookshelf, but Jim Lee's cover art is one you'll definitely want to show off.
X-Men: Blue & Gold – Mutant Genesis Omnibus
Chris Claremont and Jim Lee's iconic run on the X-Men started in the late 80's and introduced new characters like Bishop and Omega Red, and some of the most popular designs of the X-Men we've ever seen came from this run.
The 1,360-page hardcover omnibus collects up to 12 years of X-Men comics, documenting the whole Blue & Gold saga, fights against Magneot, the Brood, and more, and all the supplemental issues to get the whole story in one. Here's everything included:
- X-Men #1-16
- Uncanny X-Men #281-297
- Uncanny X-Men Annual #16
- Ghost Rider #26-27
- X-Factor #84-86
- X-Force #16-18
- Stryfe's Strike File #1
This omnibus also includes material from certain issues to help flesh out the overall story's context, but not their full issues. The extra material includes excerpts from:
- X-Force Annual #1
- X-Force Annual #7
- Marvel Comics Presents #89
- X-Men: Odd Men Out
This run's original X-Men issue #1 quickly become the highest selling single issue comic book of all time, and has since sold over 8 million copies. Featuring a massive wrap-around cover art from now-legendary comic artist Jim Lee, it's one of the most recognizable pieces of X-Men art to date, if not one of the most recognizable comic book covers of all time. X-Men: The Animated Series, and X-Men '97 after it, were directly inspired by these comics.
