MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE X-MEN VOL. 2

By popular demand! Back in hardcover, beautifully restored to match the original comics and boasting expanded bonus material! Welcome to Marvel's reMasterworks! X-MEN blends super-hero action, teen angst and a potent metaphor for the turbulent issues of the '60s into one potent package. After laying the foundation for what would become comics' biggest franchise, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby passed the series' headmaster roles to Roy Thomas and Werner Roth, who would come into their own while crafting these tales of Marvel's merry mutants. In this second amazing volume, you'll find the first appearances of the unstoppable Juggernaut, the cosmic Stranger, the mutant Mimic and the mutant-hunting Sentinels! And for good measure, we're topping it off with the return of Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil mutants - and Lucifer, one of Prof. X's earliest enemies! Collecting X-MEN (1963) #11-21.
