    The issue's dialog is often pedantic, oscillating between speaking in inspirational memes and baldly verbalizing the themes. Read Full Review

    This was so much fun! As the solicit explicitly warns, this isn't a New Mutants comic about the mutants that were new 40 years ago, and anybody looking for that is doomed to disappointment. But as a comic about the younger mutants, it's a delight, all youthful exuberance and bad teenage choices. Scout is a particularly wonderful choice for this vibe, and the whole thing is funny as hell. I squirted coffee through my nose at Nefaria's advertisement, and I love the implied reflection between "old C-list supervillain who thinks this is going to go better than it will" and "young naive superheroes who think this is going to go better than it will". I also really like the exploration of Morgan's skepticism of Krakoa. Hickman's intent for Krakoa more

    You know, so often when I look at reader reception for comics and... most media, I find myself at a loss for the people who seem to play dumb in order to criticize said comics or media more harshly. Is it really worth it? If the thing in question is bad, you should be able to criticize it while fully cognizant of all the context. It's so frustrating to see time and time again in the comics community. Anyway, this comic is solid. I'm sure my little rant had nothing to do with the reception to this comic lol.

    So the actual New Mutants were replaced by z-listers who are borrowing their name for a title. Feels like a bait and switch, not cool. Mirage was on the cover, that was enough for me to buy. I think she got a panel.

    This was abysmal. I struggled to get through this book and must have stopped at least five times. The art is so-so and the writing is asinine. "Social intelligence is just as important as pure rationality"? Just announcing "That's the front door" out loud when the doorbell rings. Of course it's the front door! And this terrible habit of making all the villains stupid and hokey is getting old. The lethal legion recruitment poster is meant to be funny but only shows that not even d list villains would show up to this. Also, This Book Is Boring! They sit around most of the time talking out their feelings. Just terrible.
