New Mutants #31 begins a new story arc focusing on Escapade and her classmates, and it's a super fun read, with a great mix of humor, character development and action. Read Full Review
New Mutants #31 sets up an exciting, complex and adventurous beginning for the very queer next generation of mutants. Plus, creative team of Charlie Jane Anders and Alberto Alburquerque might be the Louise Simonson and Bret Blevins to Vita Ayala and Rod Reis direct take on Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewiczs legacy; all filtered through Grant Morrisons impact on the X-Men universe. The best of a fresh and modern story with a care for the creatives that came before them. Im so excited to see this comic unfold further. Read Full Review
All in all, New Mutants #31 is fine. Its average, which is a step down from what it was before. It has its moments, and Anders, Alburquerque, and company show potential. Itll be interesting to see how this book goes in the future. Read Full Review
For readers with a high tolerance for cheesy geek speak who want to see a trans hero in the spotlight, New Mutants #31 provides, but there's no escaping the sense that it is a broader and less sophisticated take than the one that preceded it. Read Full Review
I'm filing this one under "not all messy comics are bad." And boy, it IS messy. Character work flying every which way, and Martha/Cerebella/No-Girl flat-out stealing the spotlight (and the plot) from the new protagonist. And I'm there for it.
The art is cute and cartoony, but with a polished edge and a solid command of visual storytelling. The characters are charming, even if they can't agree on whose story this is.
(I'm also eager to see what fig leaf the transphobic red-dot raters are wearing for this issue.)
I do really enjoy the way each character is written. It's great that comics have evolved to a state where depth is important. I like how there is character development and the way u feel for and understand the nuances of each character. That being said thus felt a little light story wise. I'd love more gabby too she is one of my favorites
Miss the original team. #notmyNewMutants
Wake me when the New Mutants show up.
Bad. Self-indulgent, cringe, still hate seeing the classic team as teachers. Still hate the younger mutants featured in this book. New character does nothing for me. Hope arc ends soon.
Cringe writing
Dear god this is bad. Can heroes be heroes once in a while and not sit around crying about their lives. I know they're young and not experienced, which is the point of the book, but do they have to be such wimps. Also the references to hate towards gender identities and sexual orientations being what the whole book is centered around gets old. This is just a snooze fest.
