Stories of Archangel, Beast, and Psylocke's transformations for people that want the cliff notes version of how they came to be. There is some good early Apocalypse in here as an added bonus.

A great little collection of stories. It gives you the original stories of the major transformations of Beast, Angel, and Psylocke. The first Psylocke story features an appearance (fantasy) of Brian Braddock as a child and an allusion to Captain Britain (both Brian and Betsy). All in all, worth reading if you just want to know the difference between the original characters and their later selves.
