All in all the book is a departure from the direction Zeb Wells was taking the book (with the Apprentice style sub-plot of Cyclops looking for his successor) and the departure from this theme will only be further extended with X-Men: Second Coming taking over the plot for the next three months, however, the latter crossover has me so excited I think I can wait a few months longer to see which of the potential candidates is Scott’s heir apparent.

For its successes and failures, one thing is for certain - New Mutants #11 will probably one really appeal to those with a vested interest in Dani Moonstar as a character. For those of us who have followed her for decades, while this issue may not be the seminal interpretation of the character, it still contains a good plot beat for her and reminds us why she's a decent character in the first place.

All things considered, the issue ticks all the necessary boxes, and it's easy to appreciate the lengths to which it goes to provide a satisfying "New Mutants" story that also works as part of the wider crossover. If tie-ins were all this neat, maybe crossovers wouldn't have such a bad rep. Read Full Review
Great solo adventure for Dani enhancing Asgardian lore. Art is a bit peculiar and stylized but it works here.
