Marc Silvestri’s uncanny legacy as an X-Men artist begins here! The artist who would define a new era of mutant drama kicks things off with the X-Men vs. Avengers limited series, in which Magneto is summoned to trial for crimes against humanity. Can the Avengers bring him to justice? And why are the X-Men standing in their way? Next, Alan Davis draws an epic Annual introducing the alien force named Horde. Then, as regular artist of The Uncanny X-Men, Silvestri joins with mutant maestro Chris Claremont for a run of legendary stories. Their iconic “Fall of the Mutants” storyline changed everything for the X-Men. With many team members missing and presumed dead, mutantkind regroups in Australia, becoming targets of the mysterious Reavers!
