Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 6 by Dave Cockrum, John Byrne, Brent Anderson, Chris Claremont

5.0

You have a volume with “Days of Future Past”, Doctor Doom, and (arguably) the first truly good Magneto story arc. All of that will definitely get you a 5 star review. The first good Magneto arc? A controversial statement, I’m sure but it’s true. If you’ve read my previous reviews before, you’ll know that I’ve said the original Stan Lee X-Men comics were not that good. One problem is that Magneto was such a one note generic bad guy during all that time. He was nowhere near as interesting as iconic Marvel villains like Doctor Doom & Doctor Octopus. He didn’t have the pathos & layers most casual fans are use to from the character until this exact arc. So all around, this volume is a great one for X-Men fans. It didn’t disappoint.
