Spidey #23
"Le retour du Colosse !" marks a pivotal moment in the X-Men’s journey as they graduate from Xavier’s school, with Professor X stepping aside and placing Cyclops in charge—complete with a glimpse of the powerful new Cerebro machine. When Magneto recruits the Blob and the mental barriers holding the mutant’s memories begin to break, the revelation of the X-Men’s secrets sets off a tense confrontation, forcing the team to regroup and face the Brotherhood, even as betrayal and shifting loyalties hang in the air. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Chic Stone, the issue’s dynamic art and emotional stakes are perfectly captured in a cover by Jean-Yves Mitton.
In "Le retour du Colosse !", the X-Men reunite under Cyclops’s leadership after Professor Xavier takes a leave of absence, entrusting him with Cerebro, the mutant-detecting machine. When Magneto recruits the Blob and the two clash, old secrets resurface—Cerebro lights up with the Blob’s name, revealing a shocking truth. With the Brotherhood on the move and the X-Men pulled back into action, loyalty is tested as past betrayals come to light.
