3.0
Not that much to say about this one that isn't applicable to its predecessors: mainly composed of one-offs, by which I mean dealing with villains you'll probably not see or hear of ever again.
It contains one plot concerning Lorna Dane which was quite interesting, issues 49 through 52. Issue #50 is especially beautifully drawn, the cover page alone is a piece of art in my opinion (Jim Steranko rules!).
So, if you have a chance, read that and maybe the origin stories of Beast. Might also want to take a look at the solo stories concerning Angel starting page 252. They were published in the back pages of 1970 Ka-Zar and Marvel Tales series so they're are not self-standing issues. However, they do makes an short incursion into Warren's life, if you're interested in knowing more about his background.
The rest I cannot reveal without some spoilers. :P
