One of the first comics I ever bought. It easy to forget now that John Byrne used to be one of the hottest talents in the business, but you can see why right here. This is the Byrne/Austen team at the height of their creative powers. The art and layout is so dynamic compared to what came before.

I also see here that Claremont is iterating on Silver Age Magneto here, not quite to his eventual final form. His thoughts here don't really jibe with what would come after, but things like his internal monologue are a level of character development way beyond anything he'd ever had before.
