For decades, the X-Men have been a cornerstone of Marvel Entertainment content, though the “ins, outs and retcons” (thanks, Jay & Miles) make the history of these mutants hard to follow, especially for new fans. Now Marvel is seeking to rectify that with a new series of trades that will chronicle some of the biggest, most plot-altering events throughout the team’s 50+ years of history. On Monday, Marvel announced that they will release X-Men Milestones, which is billed as a “new series of [X-Men] trade paperbacks designed to form one complete library of X-Men events!”

X-Men Milestones will include the Dark Phoenix SagaFall of the Mutants, and Mutant Massacre. According to a press release from Marvel, other “earth-shattering events” will follow. Check out the covers for the above three TPBs below.
