Indexer Notes

Second appearance of the New Mutants (after Marvel Graphic Novel #4). Occurs while the X-Men are in outer space, and Professor X is hosting a Brood embryo (see Uncanny X-Men #162-167). Prof. X's son, Legion, first appears in issue #26. Part 1 of 3. On his YouTube channel, Bill Willingham stated that he ink assisted Mike Gustovich, mostly "filling in the blacks".
