Collecting Uncanny X-Men #210-213, X-Factor #9-11, New Mutants #46, Thor #373-374, and Power Pack #27; "Mutant Massacre" pulls no punches in a balanced journey of brutal violence and the drain it has on our characters' morale as those who don't suffer death at the hands of the Marauders are left with both physical and psychological scars for years to come. Perfect for fans of Chris Claremont, the more knowledgeable X-Men fans, Walt and Louise Simonson, and of course, 80s Marvel. This story has a considerable effect on every X-Men team, as well as Thor.

Collecting the entire limited series, "Watchmen" takes us into a completely self-contained (and sustained) story exploring the psychological influence and effect superheroes and vigilantism has on America, following from World War II to the peak of an alternate Cold War. Recommended for all readers 13 and older, as one does not have to have a pretext to read this highly acclaimed masterpiece by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

Collecting Marvel Graphic Novel #5, "God Loves, Man Kills" is a gripping take on prejudice, bigotry, and religious fervor with rising televangelist William Stryker stirs the pot of growing racism with his crusade to eradicate mutantkind using the most powerful mutant telepath on Earth as his tool for genocide. Left without a leader to guide them, the X-Men have no choice but to follow an altruistic Magneto, as they hope to stop Stryker and his dangerous group of Purifiers. Supporting characters include William Stryker, Stevie Hunter, and Illyana Rasputin. Recommended for any X-Men fan or non-fan, Chris Claremont, and 80s Marvel.

Collecting the three extended issues of this Elseworlds miniseries, "Red Son" starts a chain reaction of global re-imagining based on the simple notion of Superman landing on a collective farm in Ukraine rather than Smallville - leading the Man of Steel down a deceptive road of corruption with the best intentions as he tries to conquer the planet. Supporting characters include Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, Wonder Woman, Batman, Pete Ross, Jimmy Olsen, Brainiac, and Hal Jordan. Recommended for fans of Elseworlds comics, Superman fans, and fans of Mark Millar.
