Description: "Celebrate the anniversary of the book that revitalized the X-men! Revisit the fateful day that Professor X gathered an all-new, all-different, multinational mix of mutants as Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Banshee, Sunfire, Thunderbird and Wolverine unite with Cyclops for the rescue mission that ushered in four decades of uncanny adventures! See how the original team reacted to the newly expanded roster! Learn the tragic histories of Colossus and Wolverine! Ask yourself "What If?" these new mutants had all died -- or never even met!
