    Short summary describing this issue.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    The X-Men had finally discovered that Factor Three is in Europe, along with Professor X and probably Banshee. But since they have no money to fly to Europe, they try to work and win some by different ways.

    But while they try to make the money they encounter Mekano, a strange guy in a suit. After defeating him and saving the Central Library, they receive a reward from the Library owner - and Mekano's father - and finally can go to Europe.

    This issue is the first appearance of Changelling, as a member of Factor Three.

    Boom: lowered. Just when you thought things could not get any worse than issue 35, Roy Thomas comes up with an embarrassingly horrible mess. It's so bad, apparently none of the other creative staff wanted to work on it (possibly not the reason for a new inker and penciler, but one never knows).
