Unfortunately, this story was rather mediocre. Professor X learns how deeply Mr. Sinister affects him, and he later visits Scott in California to try to set things to right between them. Things don't go as Professor X wants, however, and he has to take a long, hard trip down memory lane, examining his motivations and conscience.

Altogether, there's nothing particularly remarkable about this volume. Half of it is pure filler, anyway. The last filler story featuring Stan Lee is kind of funny, but the other two I could do without. The first volume was much better; I'm hoping things start to pick up soon. ( )

Alas, we go right from one story that is decent to one that is mediocre, more or less. I'm not exactly sure what the point of the story was other than to bring Sinister back into the story for the umpteenth time (and people complain about Jean Grey coming back...). Anyway, I'm sure there is going to be a point to the 'shocking' reveal at the end of the volume, but for right now, it left me wanting something more. The art was decent, and really, the story wasn't bad (although a little disjointed in sections) but I'm really hoping it's leading up to something better. And for anybody interested, I think you can safely skip the follow up stories. I think these were placed here just to fill up space. ( )
