The Sentinals. Juggernaut. A backstory that explains Xavier's true intent when forming the X-Men- the future of mutantkind? No! Alien invasion!!
Okay, sure, these comics are cheesy like all old comics. Kirby was great, but like all of Stan Lee's work you have to try and read these comics as though Marvel was still a ground breaking phenomenon instead of a flimsy outline of what other writers and artists would do in the following decades.
But if you can swallow that pill of cynical suspension, these stories really are awesome. Where I recommended volume 1 to only diehard loyalists, this volume is a much more entertaining and well rounded collection of stories that truly expanded the X-Mythos and made all that incredible storytelling in the 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond possible.
