An excellent refocusing on what a "New Mutants" book can be in the Krokoan era of X-Books. Read Full Review
New Mutants #15 is a work of expertly crafted, subtly emotional storytelling. Read Full Review
A stellar story and strong art tell the tale of unrest within Krakoa! Read Full Review
New Mutants #15 has a lot going for it, but the art doesn't help much. Ayala does a great job building up to why it's so easy for Shadow King to get his claws into the mutants and do some excellent character. Reis's art, though, barely does the script any favors. It's okay in some places but sketchy and rushed in others. Still, the book is definitely worth a read. Read Full Review
New Mutants#15 skillfully brings back old plotlines while raising new, interesting questions. Read Full Review
Beautifully written issue by Vita Ayala. Rod Reis does his dope watercolor like artistic thing, as expected. I'm a particularly big fan of the nearly devoid of color white that Reis bestows on Shadow King and can't wait to see more of this potential threat. This was another good go with the New Mutants, and I'm intrigued where all of these threads are leading. Read Full Review
Overall, this heavily packed issue is setting up multiple plot points that could easily take this story in varying directions. Ayala clearly has a plan for this group of gifted youngsters, and the use of the Shadow King as a villain is a top selection! This team of creatives has combined to produce an enticing issue, layered with opportunity. Read Full Review
Despite the hodge podge of narrative text the overall story was, as Sunspot said, well overdue. I just felt the art let it down, where normally it is the stronger and more dynamic tool in the creative field in this title. Read Full Review
There is certainly a ton of emotional build-up in these pages, however, its too much and too spread out for anyone to grab a hold of and feel for the characters involved. Moreover, readers know very little about Cosmar, whos become a focus of the series, and we continue to learn less and less about the actual NEW MUTANTS as the series continues. I hate to say it, but this series is slowly working its way to being at the bottom of my stack each week it comes out. Where is the team Jonathan Hickman put together and why cant we refocus on them? Thanks for the read and feel free to let me know what you think. Have a great week and God bless! Read Full Review
Vita Ayala has made New Mutants a must-read title in the Reign of X era. Like in their debut issue, they manage to juggle a large group of mutants while still providing enough emotion and intrigue without feeling over-crowded.
Good take on what's happening in the belly of Krakoa with so many young mutants, it's bound to get messy. Rod Reis is awesome as always but a few panels were a tad off where the details were very minimal and looked bland.
Rod's pencils weren't on the same level of quality as it usually is, but the colors are still amazing.
The issue juggled multiple characters really well.
There's a lot going on in this issue, and I'm interested in all of it, but it does make the issue seem a little all over the place.
Busy but intriguing.
This book had a Wolverine clone begging for attention at a marriage. Magick was giving out noogies as quick as teenage angst was being handed out by Mirage, all while Shadow King lurked in the background looking like a sex offender.
This book is a roller coaster, nust when I want to put it down, a joke or some action or something horrible happens to jolt me awake and to prompt me to turn the page and ultimately to keep me curious as to what will happen next issue.

Eh, this is not off to the best start. Why is Armor being trained by people she is more than capable of commanding? Also isn't she with S.W.O.R.D.?

While the New Mutants have taken it upon themselves to mentor the next generation of mutant, the Shadow King has taken a particular interest in new arrival, Cosmar. As the friends gather to celebrate Doug and Bei’s recent marriage, sadness looms. Gabby struggles to find her place without her sister and Rahne’s recent aloofness breaks as her thoughts dwell on her late son, Tier. Cosmar builds the courage to request Dani face her in the Crucible, with the hopes to be resurrected appearing as more
The New Mutants and their younger students swirl in a directionless stew of slice-of-life melodrama. Rahne's son is missing, Gabby's feeling ignored, and Cosmar struggles with body image issues. The character work is actually quite appealing to me -- when I recognize the participants. The art is outrageously rough, though, and the lack of a unifying plot does serious damage to the reading experience.
Mr. Reis has now taken a mile out of the inch afforded by "It's New Mutants, so the art can be sketchy like Sienkiewicz." These visuals are a good start; they're undeniably and unacceptably unfinished.
Muddled and irrelevant. The New Mutants acting as teachers for third rate characters.
The art is interesting but bad in many places. Mirage behaves stupidly. Some interesting stuff with Rahne. Not worth your money
