Blurb:

But when the giant, mutant-hunting Sentinels attack, one of the X-Men will pay the ultimate price! Plus: Cable and Bishop each arrive from the future, Rogue seeks a cure for her plight, Apocalypse unleashes his deadly Horsemen and more - including action-packed takes on classic stories including "Days of Future Past" and the Dark Phoenix Saga! Collecting X-MEN ADVENTURES (1992) #1-15, X-MEN ADVENTURES (1994) #1-13 and X-MEN ADVENTURES (1995) #1-13.

Review:

If you are looking for nostalgia from your Saturday mornings, then this omnibus is something worth picking up to collect. It contains seasons one to three covering one of the best interpretations of the Phoenix/Dark Phoenix Sagas. The only downside to this collection is that it does not contain all of the series. It is missing both seasons four and five, which is disappointing. I would have loved to have all of the seasons settled into one collection, but it is still a nice collection, nevertheless.

Final Thought:

If you are looking for an introduction to the X-Men (be it either the comics or the animated series), this would be perfect for one to pick up and enjoy the nostalgia.
