This is a stock scan of the issue, so it shows what the comic looks like rather than this exact copy. Books under $5 are sold on my word: the grade is my honest read of this copy, and anything I spot is written in. If a photo would make the difference, ask and I will do what I can.

Story

The X-Men manage to retrieve a gamma-device from the SouthWest that should help the Professor come out of his coma. But when he does, he acts a bit more overbearing than he has for some time, criticizing the X-Men's performance and handing out demerits as though they're still in school. Angry that they didn't check to make sure that Magneto had truly perished in their last encounter with him, he dispatches them to return to the Savage Land to make certain. But Iceman has had enough of Professor X. Faking his own death was a breach of trust that Bobby Drake can't get around, and he decides to leave the team. But when the X-Men encounter trouble in the Savage Land, that leaves only Alex and Lorna to help them!
