Le révérend William Stryker mène une croisade contre les mutants. Particulièrement virulents, ses sermons touchent une audience de plus en plus importante. Lorsque ses sbires, qui traquent les Enfants de l'Atome sans relâche, kidnappent le professeur Xavier, Cyclope et Tornade, les X-Men n'ont d'autre choix que de s'allier à Magnéto pour les secourir. Chris Claremont (Uncanny X-Men) et Brent Anderson (Astro City) livrent un récit haletant qui a notamment inspiré le film X-Men 2.

Charles Xavier e Magneto hanno da sempre una visione opposta su quali dovrebbero essere i rapporti tra umani e mutanti. Di fronte a un avversario pronto a sterminare l’Homo superior in nome di dio, tuttavia, il Signore del Magnetismo e gli X-Men dovranno unire le forze: ne va della sopravvivenza della loro specie. La fondamentale graphic novel del 1982 firmata dallo X-scrittore per eccellenza Chris Claremont (Iron Fist) e da Brent Anderson (Astro City) è per molti versi l’avventura definitiva dei mutanti Marvel, una storia tragicamente attuale che parla di fede cieca, di paura del diverso e di identità. Arricchiscono questa edizione il prologo e l’epilogo realizzati dagli autori originali nel 2020. [CONTIENE X-MEN: GOD LOVES, MAN KILLS EXTENDED CUT (2020) 1-2]
