Product Description:
1969: The X-Men, Marvel's poorest selling title, flagging in sales and on the verge of cancellation, was in dire need of a shot in the arm. Enter Roy Thomas and Neal Adams, and True Believer, you had better grab onto your hat and get ready for one of the most amazing evolutions in Marvel history! Prepare yourself for the introduction of mutant mainstay Havok, the vampiric villain Sauron, the Mutates, and X-Man-to-be Sunfire! Not to mention, the Living Pharaoh, a classic team-up with Ka-Zar in the Savage Land, as well as the return of Magneto and Professor X! Plus: Hank P. McCoy tries a stint as mad scientist and ends up creating - and BEING - his own monster! And while the Beast gets furried and hurried, his former teammates are fighting the likes of Morbius and the Hulk! Guest-starring Spider-Man and Iron Man! Collects X-Men #54-66, #67-80 (covers only); Amazing Adventures #11-17; Marvel Team-Up #4; Incredible Hulk #150 and #161.

If you're really into the X-Men and what to read/collect the stories, then this is for you. Otherwise, the storytelling is not that fantastic. Introductions of Havok and other mainstays of the X-Men universe are great to learn.
Rating: -
If you are looking for Lee/Kirby you will be disappointed. But if you take it for what it is you will enjoy it. It is well written and the artist have their own style worth seeing. This gives a silver age guy like me closure to the original X-Men.
Rating: -
I'm an "X-Men" fan through and through, but the weakness in the later issues of the original run of the series were fairly weak. The waning sales that led to its near-cancellation are pretty apparent. It's a decent collection, all in all, but not nearly as good as anything you would find in "Essential Classic X-Men Vol. 2" or "Essential X-Men Vol. 1," the before and after of this book.
Rating: -
This is the one you've been waiting for. It includes all of the classic Adams/Thomas stories as well as a couple of issues before, and some issues after. This collection is fleshed out with other books like "Amazing Adventures" starring the Beast when he first got blue and furry, and X-Men appearances in "The Incredible Hulk" and "Marvel Team Up" which were published after the X-Men book was essentially canceled (they just reprinted earlier issues with new covers from issues 66 through 93).

I really enjoyed Essential X-Men v. 2, but this volume was a disappointment. oddly enough, it starts getting overdone when Roy Thomas and Neal Adams hop on board, to make it an "important" title. the "anti-mutant" hysteria has always been a bit overdone in these X-comics and they sure let us know it here, too. Adams is a phenomenal artist, and has a great layout sense. the best thing he did was re-design the Angel's awfully colored costume.
