New Mutants #26 feels like a clinic. Ayala, Reis, Duursema, Redmond, and Lanham all do a marvelous job in this issue. This chapter of the story is rather unexpected and is much stronger for it. Read Full Review

Jan Duursema draws pages where Magik flashes back to her childhood, and those pages are spectacular. As always, Jan draws fantasy worlds like no other. Read Full Review
Rod Reis has been a revelation throughout this volume of New Mutants and doesn't miss a step here, while Jan Duursama's flashbacks, recreating the style of the original New Mutants run, remain delightful. Read Full Review
I've always loved Limbo-related X-Men stories. Inferno is still one of my favorite (maybe even my favorite) X-Men crossover. This story is a slam dunk for me.
This issue packs a lot of short and long-term plot development on top of a pretty brisk action story. The art still looks very good and the script does an admirable job keeping all its information clear.
This is definitely a good comic. The "Old Man/Old Lady variant" trope is getting pretty threadbare, though.
Steady goodness from Ayala and Reis.
