Uncanny X-Men : Magneto Triumphant

In this astonishing collection of classic stories, Xavier's students face some of their toughest challenges so far. Teleported halfway across the galaxy they must stop the Shi'ar Emperor, D'Ken, from acquiring the unfeasibly powerful and highly dangerous M'Kraan Crystal. Upon returning to Earth the X-Men are then attacked by the Canadian Super Hero team Alpha Flight. Next, the Beast comes to their rescue after the maniacal Mesmero manages to capture the group. Finally they must do battle with the one man who has sworn to utterly destroy each and every one of them - their oldest foe, Magneto, the master of magnetism.

Collects UXM #104 - 117

This was my fisrt ever pocketbook, and i read it in a very long traffic jam. The biggest X-Men pocketbook there is, it kept me occupied that whole journey. I felt the Shi'ar story went on too long though, but it was still enjoyable. The Magneto Triunphant story was the best in the whole pocketbook, its great to see an old Magneto vs X-Men story

I'd rate this an 8/10, just because the Shi'ar story just seemed to drag on a bit, otherwise it as still enjoyable
