Oh, no. Not... that guy.

New Mutants Annual #2 is next chronologically, so I my X-Men posts will be temporarily on hold until my New Mutants posts catch up.

Just...kinda forgot about Kurt there.

In retrospect, it's interesting to look at Tessa's involvement here (and in other early appearances) filtered through the (much) later retcon that she was Xavier's spy within the Hellfire Club. Does it always make sense? Nah. But it's interesting.

Harry Leland wasn't -much- of a character, but what a way to go. I think he's had just as many appearances -after- his death as before it, not even counting the Krakoan era. Apparently, he was modeled after Orson Welles, right down to taking his name from several of Welles' characters, and shared the same manner of death (fighting a time traveling robot... I mean heart failure.)

This issue definitely made an impression on young me.

Except for von Cannonfodder. Screw that guy.

Pretty solid fight, all around.

Going out causing a massive crater.
Is there a more fitting way for someone designed after Orson Welles to go?

Alas, poor... whatsisname.

So, uh... a few issues ago when Wolverine stabbed Rachel, he had no shirt on. This issue, he's got no shirt.
Is he constantly losing his shirt, or is he just going without?

It's a healing factor, not a healing shirt factor. Jus' sayin'

Except when it is, like in those scans a while back with the invincible wifebeater.
