Owner's Description

Magneto returns, and he brought his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants with him! Pretty sure with that name this organization won't be mistaken for a 501(c)3 non-profit.

As I keep alluding to in many of my early X-Men book postings, signature placement has proven to be paramount on these books. Many of the early covers have so much going on that a signature can actually prove to be a detriment if it's splattered across a key area. Imagine if the "Stan Lee" on this book was about 1.5 inches to the left...suddenly, Magneto no longer has a face!

So even though I dropped the facade of not being inclined to buy books graded this high due to their associated cost, this one actually does fall into that same line of thinking because amidst all the furor of C2E2 2016 I had told my budget to shut up and go sit in the corner. So I figured I'd be out of the higher dollar comic market for a while...until Citibank ran a sweet 6 month APR promo. Suddenly I could finance a few things for basically nothing. So here we are!

Anyway, this first appearance of the aptly named Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, featuring the first appearance of future Avengers/X-Men Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver amongst their ranks, was signed on 1/29/2012 by Stan Lee.
