Helping young mutants in crisis ain't all sunshine and rainbows - and recently, it's been downright nightmarish. But maybe the NEW MUTANTS' luck is changing...
Rated T+
New Mutants continues to stand up as a great title for Jonathan Hickman's world of X-Men, bringing both the vibes of The New Mutants and Generation X into one title. Read Full Review

After the wild adventures and mostly unfortunate outcomes of this New Mutants comic run, I think it's a smart move to reel the crew in a bit and shift focuses to something a little less explosive. Going after those behind the DOX, mutant-hating website, aka the media, couldn't possibly have any ramifications! As a standalone, this book was a nice cap on this little Carnelian Carnage tale. Carlos Lopez worked color wonders with the panels that Flaviano Armentaro produced. Issue #11 of New Mutants reminds us of the troublesome nature of the young mutants, while inspiring the inner hero in us all to always do the right thing. Read Full Review
Readers will leave this issue expecting more from the NEW MUTANTS team. There are clearly too many key players for Brisson to maneuver and too many inconsistencies within the narrative that make this series a bit too lackluster and almost treading water. Brissons NEW MUTANTS truly isnt awful by any stretch. However, its culminations and cliffhangers simply get wiped away with ease and ultimately help make this series, which may have too many moving pieces for Brisson to handle, flatline comparatively to the other X-books. As of right now, this series is a hard pass unless Hickman jumps on board or a new writer takes a stab at it. Read Full Review
Overall this is still a worthwhile read. There is lots of action, comedy and antics to enjoy. Those that have been following the series will probably enjoy it. If you are new to the series I’d hold off until the next issue and the new story arc begins. Read Full Review
The issue puts Flaviano's penchant for drawing cartoonish exaggerations and surrealness to good use as the New Mutants get pulled deeper into the Carnelian mutant's nightmare dreamscape. Read Full Review
This is bread and butter X-Men comics. A fun group of X-characters have an interesting day and that's about it. Read Full Review
The X books are masterpieces
Art 4/5
Story 5/5
Overall I enjoyed this issue and this arc. Magik's abrupt Deus ex Machina entrance makes the resolution somewhat anti-climactic though. But aside from the quick end to the mission Brisson still gives most of the various cast members their moments to shine.
This was an improvement and hopefully can be a sign of better things to come. I enjoyed it much better than the last few issues. Still gonna follow it but it feels like we 're waiting for something and just wasting time sometimes. Again, Flaviano and Lopez on art were great and made the issue look awesome!
A nice conclusion to this storyline that sees the quality go right back up after the very minor bump in the road, in my opinion, that was Issue 10. I'm really interested to see how Cosmar is used in the future of this series and, possibly, beyond. Her design is certainly unique. Flaviano did a great job with it, and I also wanted to point out how well I think he draws Mirage, especially.
I do not envy the next artist who has to draw Cosmar after Flaviano leaves.
Art is very good
But the books lakcs some direction. I like that they are rescuing mutants like they did on bendis run, but the book needs more.
Also enough with Glob
I keep waiting for New Mutants to take off. I know Ed Brisson can write good comics. Even X-Men comics (remember Extermination). But I think he needs to be on the right team, and I'm not sure this is it. I mean, it's not nearly as bad as his X-Force run from 2018, but for every good moment, there's at least 3 dull moments. It's creeping on the precipice of working, but it's just not there yet. Not to mention, Hickman hijacking this book at the start did not help things. The art is good. I love the covers. But it's just not the most exciting comic.
This was okay! I don’t know, kind of mostly boring? Not bad though. Just sort of boring.
This series is the definition of fine. I don't really care about it, but it kept me engaged for all twenty pages, I guess.
