This issue starts with the X-Men graduating…
But they have to be undercover so they don’t get diplomas with their names on them…
No, that doesn’t make any sense. It could say “Iceman,” or it could say Bobby Drake and not say that he’s an X-Man. Xavier doesn’t really think out of the box, does he?
I also really like that he calls Bobby “my uncomprehending friend…” In the pen of Stan Lee, smart people like X and Reed Richards are complete misanthropic assholes.
Then we get…
The first appearance of Cerebro!
For the main tale: Blob joins the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and then quits by the end of the issue.
Why does he quit?
Because Magneto pulls a total dick move and almost blows him up. He doesn’t want to be an X-Man, either…
A solid story about two groups of mutants, each facing alienation, but each also unable to make another mutant feel welcome.
