Cover by Paul Smith
Acclaimed novelist Joe Meno (HAIRSTYLES OF THE DAMNED) comes to X-Men Unlimited for two amazing tales about The Beast!
In the first story, the sudden resignation of the Xavier Institute’s guidance counselor forces The Beast to step in to fill her much larger than expected shoes, and the poor mutant doesn’t know what he’s in store for… In the second story, we head back to a point in time just after the Beast’s terrible transformation from a normal-looking scientist to a fur-covered creature. How did this transformation impact The Beast’s psyche… and how will his home town react when he returns?
