I don't know why Karma thinks her company needs mutant protection from the supernatural, but we should all be glad that she does. It strikes me that for all the times big businesses in the Marvel Universe hire on squads of mutants to protect their assets and project their brand, it usually causes them more trouble than the team is worth. Let's hope that Xi'an has better luck than most. Read Full Review

Great start to this limited series. Establishes character and conflict (both internal and external) well and has an engaging story that made me curious for whatever's next. Read Full Review

While the creation of this comic was obviously informed by the now-delayed Fox New Mutants film, which has been billed as a superhero horror film, its done an outstanding job of carving out a unique place in the Marvel universe and publishing line. While it certainly has room to improve and grow, its definitely off to a strong start that should be pleasing to both long term and new readers. Read Full Review

This is actually the ragtag combo I have been wanting for years. As the admin for the New Mutants fan page, I watch fans wage endless debates over which era was better. The original troupe or post-Inferno. For me, I love the New Mutants and that means, I love them all. Read Full Review

Like I said, my knowledge when it comes to the New Mutants is just about nonexistent, so maybe I’m putting my foot in my mouth here, but I think newcomers and fans alike will have a good time jumping into Dead Souls. All around, the art lends itself really well to a solid script that makes for a good pace and threads that you want to follow, while also giving newcomers like myself a good idea of what this team is like. So veteran or not, I’ll say that this is worth checking out, especially for the sliver of diversity that it adds to the list of genres in your Marvel pull. Read Full Review

The New Mutants: Dead Souls #1 is an entertaining start to a quirky mutant series, although it is not as much a break from the status quo as I had hoped. Read Full Review

There's a lot of potential in the groundwork laid here for what could be a fun and engrossing mutant monster hunt. Read Full Review

A fun mutant diversion that comes with no strings attached. Read Full Review

While it suffers from a rushed plot and a lack of characterization, NEW MUTANTS: DEAD SOULS #1 is a striking new addition to the X-MEN Mythos. With fantastic action sequences and brilliant art, this is a fun read for fans new and old. Read Full Review

It is probably going to take me one more issue to decide if I am going to stay with New Mutants: Dead Souls for the entire six-issue run. I liked the concept and most of the characters, but I am not completely sold yet. The information dump at the end threw me off a little bit and I am not completely sure where the story is going. I liked the majority of this issue, but it was not without its flaws either. Like I said earlier, it is an odd team on an odd adventure, but for me, that is part of its charm. It does have me looking forward to the next issue, so that's something. Read Full Review

The opening issue of this new X-mini-series is entertaining, but also perfunctory. The creative team doesn't really do anything new or unique with the premise of slapping together a new X-Squad and having them banter and fight bad guys. Read Full Review

Coming into the New Mutants as a complete novice, this issue has done a good job in keeping my interest in the characters to keep reading the rest of the series. While this is the first part of a miniseries, it feels like a standalone issue, which is a great for new readers like me. Read Full Review

I have more faith in the creative team than what they've shown us here, because it feels like the pieces are mostly here, they're just one or two more details away from coming together as a compelling whole. Read Full Review

I appreciated Adam Gorham's art and how natural the series feel overall, but the comic is a little loose artistically. Lots of the lines and edges are rounded off and there are tons of strange angles which were difficult for me to look at. Read Full Review

New Mutants: Dead Souls #1 is fine. Its not great. Its not bad. It frustrates at times, and some of the dialogue is outright bad. Other times, its fun and even threatens to become distinct from other middling Marvel output. Its better than X-Men Blue and Astonishing, but its not as good as Red or the better issues of Gold. I can recommend it to someone dying for New Mutants content, but I wouldnt call it a must-buy for anyone else. Read Full Review

Not really successful in using it's characters or setting the scary tone that it probably wants to create. Read Full Review

Magik and a pack of younger d-list mutants foil a very lazily-conceived zombie attack before racing off to their next hypothetically-scary X-Files mission. It's a promising roster, the general premise works, and there's some good characterization, but the specific case featured here is a clunker. The art is functional in a rather generic indie horror way. I'm betting both the editor that issued it and the artist who cashed it looked at the check for services rendered on this issue and went, "meh."
