New Mutants: Deal Souls #6 is an insane book full of spoilers on every page, so please forgive the vague review. Just make sure to pick it up and read it ASAP before the internet ruins it for you. Read Full Review

The inevitable confrontation between Illyana and Shan sets new records for "that didn't go well"-itude. The earthquake-level shift in the New Mutants' status quo doesn't provide any of the closure you might expect from a series finale. After much thought, though, I've decided I like this WAY better than the "we've generated a TPB worth of marketable story, now we'll slap the characters back on the pantry shelf until it's time to make another serving of comics product" approach so many Marvel serieses take. This issue and the series as a whole had some foibles, but it's a magnificent and meaningful journey that lives up to the highest standards of OG Claremont New Mutants.
