the start of something big
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Here is where the legendary X-Men franchise began -- with a single title featuring five teenagers and a crippled mentor. Their first fight as a team is against one of the great supervillains, Magneto. Subsequent issues feature such bizarre and unique menaces as the Vanisher, the Blob and Unus the Untouchable. Magneto returns with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to even things up. Then the Avengers visit for a clash of the titans! If that weren't enough, all of the above are products of that team supreme, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. (You know, the ones responsible for the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, etc.) Before this book, there were no mutants in the Marvel Universe. But, issue by issue, this title laid the seeds of an entire mutant population! (At least until House of M decimated them.)
