Astonishing X-Men Saga is a 48 page volume summarizing the events occurring in the first twelve issues of Whedon and Moreels' Astonishing X-Men. Unlike many other Astonishing X-Men collections (e.g., Astonishing X-Men Omnibus) Astonishing X-Men Saga does not reprint the twelve original issues in which it represents but rather serves as an arcing overview covering the prominent points in the style of an historical narrative.

Featuring extensive diagrams and maps of the new X-Men Mansion, profiles on your favorite heroes, and exclusive behind-the-scenes X-MEN: RELOAD material that can only be seen here, The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: X-Men 2004 is a must-have for any true Marvel fan.
