X-Men: Firsts - Class Portraits #3

Nothing ruins spring break faster for Iceman and Angel than a giant monster stomping through the streets of their city. But what are two young mutants to do when all the 'real' superheroes are too busy to help? And why is GOOM, The Thing from Planet X running amok in the first place? It's a superhero mutant monster spring-break bash! Woo!

I'm really glad Warren finally acknowledged how useless his power is!

Yang ini lumayan lucu. Gara-gara lupa memesan tiket, Iceman dan Angel terpaksa harus menghabiskan waktu liburan mereka di kota. Lantas muncullah monster dari laut yang mencari anaknya yang kuliah di kota itu.

I love these two together. They're funny and snarky. And the story is the same. My only complaint is that I don't love all the artwork.
