Cover by JIM STERANKO
Buckle down your mortarboards, students of Marvel’s merry mutants, ’cause we’ve got a summer crash course in X-Men classics coming your way
Lesson #1: It ain’t easy being an X-Man. No sooner has their mentor, Professor X, died than who shows up but Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants Only a study in teamwork with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes can help our grieving heroes make the grade
Lesson #2: Think twice before inviting family over. A friendly house call from the Juggernaut or Polaris, the daughter of Magneto himself, isn’t the summertime bliss the brochure may have described
Lesson #3: Battling a bevy of baddies including Mesmero, Blastaar, the Red Raven, Warlock and Computo may cause cramps. Be sure to stretch before jumping into this pool
And for extra credit you can pull an all-nighter with the origins of Iceman and Beast, along with a rare solo story featuring the Angel

After a lifetime of darkness, the blind sculptress’s eyesight has been restored by her father, Philip Masters — the seemingly reformed villain Puppet Master — but at what cost? Either all is as it seems…or darker forces are at work. Collects MARVEL KNIGHTS 4 #13-18.
