Thoughts

The X-men go on a mission to storm the bag guys Super City HQ. This is classic adventure nonsense done fantastically well. All of the team get their moments, and plot their own course in the mission. Members get captured, the stakes get raised and then it all builds up to a final showdown.

Not much more to write about it. Just rollicking good fun. With a fabulous cover making great use of a speech bubble. Still love covers with speech bubbles.

There’s a nice reply to a letter here where its mentioned that Chris and John have “long terms plans” for Phoenix. I wonder how well they were developed at this point?
