Marvel Comics is set to release the X-Men: Children of the Atom box set, which contains the complete ’60s and ’70s X-Men adventures in a colossal 3600 page collection. If you’re interested in picking it up, now would be the time to reserve a copy because it’s currently 30% off in pre-order on Amazon with a release date set for March 17th. The $350 price tag isn’t cheap, but it’s a lot better than $500.

Keep in mind that you won’t be charged until the box set ships and this will probably be the max discount during the pre-order period – so lock it down while you can. If it does drop, you’ll automatically get the bigger discount. The official description and full contents of the set (via Bleeding Cool) are listed below.
