Collects X-Men: Evolution (2001) #1-9. Celebrate twenty years of EVOLUTION with the complete comic book adventures of the Bayville squad! Twenty years ago, the animated series X-MEN: EVOLUTION reinvented the Children of the Atom for a whole new generation — recasting many of Marvel’s merry mutants as teenagers who attend Bayville High School at the same time as training to protect a world that hates and fears them!
