X-Men First Class #3 - Marvel


This is just a fun book. I like the atmosphere in the school with the young X-men. Roger Cruz's art is perfect to convey that atmosphere. Basically what happens this issue, is that Xavier is stuck in some kind of feedback loop with Cerebro. Since all the kids were sleeping, they've been pulled into his consciousness. Jean's the first one to figure this out, even though everything is truly wacky in the house of mutants. After fighting their way through his mind, they come upon a manifestation of Cerebro in Charles mind, but they can't get it to reboot. So they use the manifestation of Cain Marko, and his sheer will power, and also Charles fear, as a child, of him to try to force a physical reboot. This is just a nice change of pace from the regular X-Men titles. We get to see all our favorites, but before they're all full of the weight of the world, and mutantkind. It's nice to see them when they're loosened up a little.
