As part of their "finally giving the X-Men the respect they deserve again" initiative, Marvel has announced a new series of trade paperback collections featuring the X-Men titled X-Men Milestones, the mission of which is to allow readers to "relive the X-Men's best and the biggest storylines as their adventures remind you why the X-Men have been a cornerstone of the Marvel Universe for decades." The line will launch with three titles announced: Mutant Massacre, Fall of the Mutants, and the Dark Phoenix Saga. Will that last feature the first collection's foreword from Stan Lee? And will Chris Claremont's inclusion on all three of these "cornerstone" books finally convince Marvel to let him write something regularly? We'll find out soon, true believers!
