LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES!
The NEW MUTANTS' path seems simple: train, guide and mentor the youth. Sure, they didn't ask for the job, but they've been figuring it out together, right? How wrong could it go?
The NEW MUTANTS are about to find out.
Rated T+
Overall this was a fantastic issue that put relationships on display. It had several moving moments and delivered a truly engaging completion to Karma’s journey. It looks like this series may have found its groove again. Read Full Review
The issue has a few odd pages where the artwork and dialogue seem to disagree about what the characters are supposed to be doing, but this a beautiful and emotionally rich story that's some of the best character-centered storytelling to take place in the modern X-Men era. Read Full Review
Overall this issue had some strong visual keys as well as a compelling narrative that worked well together to put across the two main characters struggle and fed the story perfectly. All while still leaving questions unanswered, making me hanker for next issue. And with the truly psychedelic cover from Christian Ward, showing the grim determination of Shan, it is the perfect companion to the previous one with Dani in a similar setting. Read Full Review
New Mutants #18 is the best issue of Ayala and Reiss run by a country mile. Both of them are at the top of their game for this book, and it shows. The key to this issue is the emotions of the character and the creators hit with all cylinders. Things are building nicely, and hopefully, the creative team can keep up the quality of this issue in the stories to come. Read Full Review
Ayala brings a voice to these characters that is both wholly charming and completely authentic while Rod Reis knocks every scene out of the park with his gorgeous pencilwork. Read Full Review
This issue was epic! I love love love what Vita Ayala is doing with New Mutants. Karma goes through the Crucible with Dani as Scout prepares to finally confront the Shadow King. Ayala has a great handle on her large cast of characters and continues to show what a true team book should feel like. Rod Reis' art is great as always and if this really is his last issue he will be sorely missed.
Karma goes through the Crucible and Warpath and Wolfsbane help Gabby work through her concerns regarding the Shadow King. Strong storytelling (the art is finally living up to the writing, in my opinion), strong plotting, and absolutely impeccable character work. This issue suggests big things are coming and it totally succeeds in getting me interested in what's next for these characters.
New Mutants is really showing the cracks in the promise of Krakoa, with Tran and her connection to her brother being what holds them back. And the younger of younger mutants' troubles with controlling their powers and not being able to connect with their seniors shows how much of the strain is taking a toll on them. All while people like Shadow King taking advantage of them and the people closest to the cracks in Krakoan society.
Fine issue.
Pretty good issue that I think handles so many different plots very well.
