X-Men 5 (May 1964)
Stan Lee/Jack Kirby
It's back to the mansion after the showdown with Magneto and the apparent loss of the Professor's powers, when suddenly Jean's parents show up, expecting to be shown their daughter's fancy boarding school (or something), necessitating a quick change from everybody, heavily laden with exposition. It's incredibly early in the run and obviously this is from an era before you could just look stuff up on fan wikis or whatever so it's fair enough that everyone has to keep explaining themselves but blimey this stuff weighs the story down.
Also Magneto has an asteroid now, I guess?? Good thing we spent a page recapping everyone's back story instead of explaining this. He just has an asteroid now. And it's "more than just a simple asteroid", too.
Hank laments Xavier's fate without noticing that he himself has inhereted his mentor's gigantic forehead.
This issue is a continuation of the previous one: the gang is still fighting Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, with their wildly divergent skillsets, from Toad (jumping) to Scarlet Witch (magically shaping reality). They have a showdown on the asteroid, where Magneto models the device I use to post directly from my cortex to tumblr dot com
I should maybe be posting more panels from the actual fights and stuff but they're...not very good? The layouts are horribly constrained and the action is not that striking. I like this one of Angel, though, which has actual perspective and energy to it.
At the end the asteroid breaks apart, RIP asteroid, but the gang return safely to earth, where Professor X reveals he'd just been pretending to lose his powers, as a test, which they all passed. Asshole.
