Anyone pick up X-Men: First Class #2?

Lizzie takes on Beast and Angel in a flashback tale.
Good issue, despite the predictable ending...

Your thoughts?
 
Does he win?
 
X-Men : First Class # 2. I got it last week and was pretty happy with it.
Here's my comments that I posted in the X-Men comic forums:

Not a bad self-contained little story.

The continuity weirdness wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, since it was mentioned that this story takes place after Spider-Man's first encounter with the Lizard. Of course, it was also mentioned in plenty of other Spidey comics that no one other than Spidey (and the Connors family) new that Curt was the Lizard until the first Secret Wars series, but since someone decided that Professor X and Dr. Connors were buddies, that's not such a big deal I suppose.

I liked the artwork, including how the Lizard was depicted. I'm glad he wasn't as huge as he appeared on the cover. I also liked how it was made clear that Angel and Beast could NOT handle Lizzy on their own and had to get Bobby's help - even though that was a rather predictable outcome.

The Lizard should have talked more than he did, since in the old days he was quite the chatterbox, but overall the writers did OK by Lizzy.
 
I really liked the Lizard's depiction here (art wise) IMO one of the best, if not the best.
 
Agreed...the artwork was nice.

What else has that artist worked on?
 
beast is suprisingly weak, he looks like a tank but like he really isnt. he even looks like he should have an easy time with lizard.

not really. Though you're right that he was the strongest member of the original X-men, he was still MUCH, MUCH weaker than Lizard. People forget that Lizard lifts like 12 Tons, and is incredilbly fast (especially with his tail). Not to mention that his skin is like battle armor. Beast was only ablt to lift like 1 ton at best (he got just a bit stronger later when he turned blue).
 
i remember being so suprised when i found out how weak beast actually is, i mean hes pretty massive. but spider-man could toss him around all day
