Uncanny X-Men : Wanted : Wolverine - Dead Or Alive

This collection of classic tales sees the X-Men begin their long journey home from the pre-historic Savage Land. Stopping first in Japan, the group must foil the plans of the megalomaniac Moses Magnum and his army of Mandroids! Next, they find themselves under attack by Canada's national team, Alpha Flight, who are determined to capture their former member Wolverine! But once they finally reach their Westchester home things fail to improve, as they find themselves at the mercy of Arcade and his specially built amusment park, Murder World!

Collects UXM #118 - 124

I think this is the weakest X-Men pocketbook out of the lot, there aren't many memorable stories in it, except the first appearence of Arcade and Murder World. The bonus is Annual 3, where Storm is selected to help the home planet of Arkon The Magnificent. This was a very enjoyable story i felt.

I'd rate this a 5/10 as not many of the stories are that good except the annual and the first appearence of Arcade to the X-Men
