X-Men: First Class #4 (2007)

The X-Men get a 2-week Spring break, so Iceman and Beast go on a road trip.  It’s fitting that this is a vacation issue and we get a guest artist–the first time Roger Cruz hasn’t drawn an issue of this book.

It’s also the first issue of this series that I felt was a little slow.   I red an article about it that says it affirms that Bobby and Hank were a gay couple in the early issues of X-Men, but this is pretty extreme retconning.  There’s no way Jack and Stan had that idea when they wrote those issues.

There’s a mini-Marvels back-up where Torch tries to join the team.

It’s pretty funny.
