Sep 21, 2022New Mutants # 30 is a testimony to timeless friendship in spite of trials. From their awkward and uncomfortable beginnings this group has accomplished what few teams have. Willing to step up and take the reins yet still respect their elders. Powers that could place them on any other team but choosing to remain at home and humble. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Steve Batley
Sep 23, 2022In the words of editor Sarah Brunstead Even in an era of X-Men that is famously and belovedly soapy, these core relationships stood out; no other book was doing it that way. Great insights all and also every word struck a chord to all of us that have been through their journey with them all these years as well as those who came aboard more recently. In my humble opinion it is true that in the recent age of Krakoa this book has had more heart and depth, with or without the superhero battles than many of the others. And this issue proved it.

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Oct 07, 2022New Mutants #30 is a good comic for fans of the team. Sadly, Ayala is leaving, but they go on a high note. It's a fun comic, and anyone who loves the team should give it a read. Read Full Review

Sep 21, 2022New Mutants #30 pulls triple duty as Vita Ayala's sendoff issue, a 40th-anniversary anthology, and, for some reason, a teaser setting the stage for Marvel's upcoming Deadpool series. It succeeds on all fronts. Read Full Review

A lovely collection of untold stories to wind down Ayala's run, which has really been one of the all-time greats. I'm a huge Charlie Jane Anders fan and I'm really excited for what's coming, but I'm really going to miss Ayala

A fun little anthology of tales to wrap up Ayala's amazing run on New Mutants. It doesn't reach all the heights of their run but this issue once more proves Ayala knows these mutants through and through. And it is fitting for these particular characters to have an anniversary issue where they are just hanging out and having a good time swapping stories. I wish Ayala could've continued their run but I am grateful for the 16 issues we have.

Confession time: I have a Bad Art Event Horizon, beyond which I struggle to enjoy even the nicest, most heartfelt story. And most of this pseudo-anthology is, subjectively, well over the BAEH.

Throughout the 20th century, men wrote/drew immersive, powerful, and painfully beautiful stories in comics....mostly to get laid (and pay the bills, whenever possible). Throughout the 21st century, women have written/drawn obtuse, shame-based, painfully self-indulgent stories....mostly to be perpetually fawned over and emotionally validated (and beg for and/or demand their bills be paid, whenever possible). In either case, the motivation is purely selfish, at the end of the day. But just about anyone with the most basic appreciation of the artform can pick up New Mutants #30 and deduce which results in a better comic book.
