Jack Kirby cover/art; Magneto app; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 5 (CBI)
Picking up where issue #17 left off, some of the X-Men are recuperating from their battle with the Sentinels at a hospital, where Iceman has slipped into a coma. As the remaining members return to their school, they are subdued and captured one-by-one by a mysterious intruder who has rigged the mansion with contraptions perfectly designed to take advantage on each mutant's particular weaknesses. Eventually the entire team is captured, except for the unconscious Iceman, and set aloft in a balloon meant to travel above Earth's atmosphere, asphyxiating the entire team. It turns out the perpetrator of these nefarious deeds is the one and only Magneto, whose identity is revealed at the end of the issue. Art by Jack Kirby, Werner Roth, and Dick Ayers.
