Even before the first film adaptation went into production, X-Men was the most successful comic book series ever published. When it finally debuted, X-Men: The Movie grossed over $400 million worldwide during its theatrical run. Its sequel, X2: X-Men United, grossed $155M in worldwide box office receipts on its opening weekend, and went on to make more than $400M total. And now X-Men 3 and 4 are currently in development!
With that in mind, here is the perfect opportunity for X-fans to catch up on a trio of novels that not only sold well both in single volume trade paperbacks and mass-market editions, but were considered by fans to contain some of the finest writing to be found outside of the Marvel comic book series! Doctor Doom. Magneto. The Red Skull. Three of the deadliest villains in the Marvel Universe, all sharing a common dream: to become absolute master of the Earth. Through the use of the Cosmic Cube-a device whose reality-bending powers allow its possessor to create their own perfect world-they are able to bring their dreams to life. With the odds against them, the X-Men must make a desperate attempt to destroy this "Chaos Engine" and restore Order to the cosmos before their entire reality is wiped from existence by an all-powerful alien race. But in order to save the world from Armageddon, one of the X-Men must be willing to risk their life-an action that may have lasting repercussions for the very fabric of reality itself. . . .
