Product Description:
As the X-Men embark on their inaugural world tour, they must confront some unsettling truths about their mentor, Professor Charles Xavier. Before founding his school for young mutants, Xavier abandoned his only son, David, a mutant with uncontrollable reality-warping abilities. Now, David has returned, looking to exact revenge on the father who left him - and he's willing to eradicate anyone who stands in his way. Will the X-Men be forced to kill Xavier's son to end his threat against the world? Following the tragedies of their world tour, the X-Men seek the calming protection of Xavier's school - but their suspicions of his methods only increase. Xavier's mental blocks on student Jean Grey's psychic abilities continue to crumble, and she grows increasingly unstable - plagued by visions of a world engulfed in the flames of a fiery phoenix. When the X-Men finally meet Xavier's mysterious financial backers, Jean's hallucinations become reality as the otherworldly Phoenix takes possession of the teenage telepath. Also included in this volume is a bonus tale of Gambit, a Cajun street hustler who must use his mutant gifts to protect a homeless boy in great danger. Collects Ultimate X-Men #13-20.

Artwork could be a lot better, but not a bad book. If you're already an X fan, it is a refreshing look at the characters. The stories won't WOW you, but it's interesting to see what new turns they try and take with this version.

Another largely excellent Ultimate X-Men trade paperback, collecting the twelve issues in the 2nd year of Mark Millar's take on Marvel's premier mutant team and also featuring a bonus story by Chuck Austen featuring X-Men fave Gambit. The first story arc, `World Tour' has the X-Men up against Xavier's teenage son Legion, who has uncontrollable reality-warping powers and is angry at Xavier for leaving him and his mother - Moira MacTaggert - some years before to set up the X-Men. Legion is a very dangerous ... Read More

The story leaves you hanging for more!!!
The changes in the drawing styles got a little distracting though.
