It's always a blast to go back and read some Claremont X-men. I started reading the Phoenix Saga, but halfway through I decided to visit this volume before continuing my read. This give a little backstory on the Phoenix Saga right after Jean experiences the events in space that unleashes the Phoenix. In this volume the X-men is at their best against several villains and throws them into an intergalactic battle with the Shi'ar Empire. It's too goo to miss, especially if you're gearing up for the final X-men film!

I felt like I was reading the height of the art form as I read this book. The artwork is trippy and amazing while the prose is a perfect purple. Clairmont, Cockrum and Byrne are at the absolute peak of their powers here and the results are astounding.

whoops! Looks like my previous specific comments for Vol. 1 apply more to this collection. The Phoenix is fascinating in it's original form and with the fleshed out stories included in the back ups of the reprints.
A great thing about the Claremont years is that the readers really got a sense of how the X-Men lived. The stories showed the mansion, including individual and personalized rooms, as well as leisure time. It was also great to see the characters getting to know each other.
