This group of 14 Marvel Comics publications consists of the complete eight-issue limited series Marvel 1602 and six issues from the X-Factor title.

The X-Factor issues included are numbers 2, 10, 24, 25, Annual 1, and Annual 3. A notable key issue in the group is X-Factor 24, which features the first full appearance of Archangel (Warren Worthington III as the Horseman Death) and is part of the Fall of the Mutants crossover event. X-Factor 25 is also a Fall of the Mutants tie-in featuring a prominent cover appearance by Apocalypse. Cover artists for the X-Factor issues include Walt Simonson, Ron Lim, and Terry Austin. Several issues feature the Marvel 25th Anniversary logo or trade dress. All comic books are presented in individual protective bags with backing boards.
