'X-Men mastermind Chris Claremont continues his legendary tenure on Marvel's mutants in this volume - including arguably one of the greatest comic book stories ever written!

Claremont's writing rose to find perhaps his most poignant and challenging expression in his graphic novel with artist Brent Anderson, 'God Loves, Man Kills.'
